Linea block time

As of June 17, 2026, Linea block time is 3.83 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 11.86 s at p90 and 27.94 s at p99. Linea ranks #7 of 9 chains measured on this benchmark.

Linea block time is 3.83 s (p50, 24h). Linea is a Consensys-operated zkEVM with a single sequencer feeding a prover that produces PLONK-family proofs posted to Ethereum; the documented target is a 2 s slot but observed cadence is governed by prover throughput, so idle windows stretch into multi-second gaps that lift the median above the nominal slot time. Measured by holding `newHeads` on the public Linea RPC.
