Run a Linea node

There are no financial incentives for running a Linea node, but it does allow you to:

  • Call the Linea JSON RPC API methods and submit transactions to the mempool without relying on an RPC provider.
  • Have a local copy of the Linea blockchain. This view of the state is "trusted" until the transaction, or the block that transaction is in, has been finalized on L1.
note

Running a sequencer node is currently not possible and there is no option to vote on blocks as part of the consensus mechanism or fork-choice like on Ethereum.

The Ethereum client being used in this walkthrough (Geth) will soon be updated, including breaking changes.

Please get in touch to make sure we keep you posted if you decide to run a node. You can run a Dockerized version as long as you keep the same parameters.
