Linea contributes ZK rollup stack to Linux Foundation open-source group
Linea Consortium board director Declan Fox said the move gives its technology a neutral, foundation-governed home.
Linea Consortium has joined Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) as a premier member and contributed the open-source zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup stack powering Linea as a new code project called Lineth.
The contribution places Linea’s core layer-2 technology under LFDT’s open-source governance framework, rather than the control of any single company, Linea Consortium said in a release on Tuesday, positioning the move as a step toward decentralization. However, the contribution concerns governance of Linea’s open-source technology stack, not necessarily the decentralization of the Linea network itself.
Linea Consortium board director Declan Fox will join the LFDT governing board alongside representatives from companies like Consensys, Hedera, Kaleido, OpenAssets and Shielded Technologies.
