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.
