Linea block time

As of August 1, 2026, Linea block time is 6.04 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 19.16 s at p90 and 51.33 s at p99. Linea ranks #10 of 10 chains measured on this benchmark.

Linea block time is 6.04 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.
