Linea Consortium

The Linea Consortium is a non-profit organization composed of the most trusted Ethereum institutions, formed to guide Linea’s ecosystem growth and decentralization.

Overview

The Linea Consortium (LC) represents the voice of Ethereum in the form of a council of key Ethereum stewards guiding the Linea Protocol and maintaining its foundational commitment to Ethereum-first alignment.

The design of the LC addresses often divergent interests among stakeholders like capital allocators, builders, and users through structured, role-based governance. Its foundational goals are to empower rapid execution, maintain technical integrity, and ensure transparent token oversight, all while upholding accountability and long-term decentralization objectives.

The LC’s legal board of directors is responsible for setting protocol strategy, allocating treasury funds, overseeing the token distribution, and appointing or removing Advisory Committees.

The Board of Directors is composed of representatives from the most trusted Ethereum institutions. These institutions were selected based on their long-term alignment with Ethereum and commitment to the protocol’s sustainable development.
