Linea is designed for developers, institutions, and DeFi innovators seeking a scalable, Ethereum-aligned Layer 2 that strengthens ETH with every transaction
About Linea
Linea is a Layer 2 network purpose-built to strengthen Ethereum and expand the ETH economy. It operates as a zkEVM rollup, ensuring full Ethereum equivalence with rapid settlement and ultra-low fees. Every transaction on Linea burns ETH, reinforcing scarcity and supporting Ethereum’s long-term value. The ecosystem also enables native staking on bridged ETH, distributing yield to liquidity providers and fueling DeFi activity. With a tokenomics model that mirrors Ethereum’s Genesis distribution, Linea avoids insider extraction and directs value toward builders, users, and public goods. Trusted by leading financial institutions and Ethereum pioneers, Linea aligns capital efficiency with Ethereum’s future growth.

Taiko
Taiko is an Ethereum-equivalent (Type 1) ZK-EVM, maximally compatible with Ethereum. No additional compiling, reaudits, or tooling is needed. Everything works out of the box, guaranteed. We build with the support of our community and are fully open-source. Meaning it's free to use and modify Taiko's source code with the permissive license. Taiko demands no additional trust assumptions from Ethereum. As a based rollup with a permissionless (& decentralized) proposer/prover network from day 1, Taiko inherits Ethereum's level of decentralization. Taiko is a based rollup, the transaction sequencing on Taiko is done by Ethereum validators. Based sequencing is maximally simple and inherits Ethereum's liveness and credible neutrality. You can bridge your ETH to Taiko using our native bridge or another ecosystem bridge. For a walkthrough, start with the user guide’s setup page. Combining the best of optimistic and ZK-rollups to maximally reduce costs and increase decentralization.

Loopring
Loopring is an open protocol for building scalable non-custodial exchanges on Ethereum. Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs (zkRollup), it allows for high performance trading (high throughput, low settlement cost), without sacrificing Ethereum-level security guarantees. Users always maintain 100% control of their assets throughout the trade lifecycle. You can trade on Loopring to test it out. Loopring is an open-sourced, audited, and non-custodial exchange protocol, which means nobody in the Loopring ecosystem needs to trust others. Cryptoassets are always under users' own control, with 100% Ethereum-level security guarantees. Loopring powers highly scalable decentralized exchanges by batch-processing thousands of requests off-chain, with verifiably correct execution via ZKPs. The performance of underlying blockchains is no longer the bottleneck. Loopring performs most operations, including order-matching and trade settlement, off the Ethereum blockchain.
