Ethereum vs Linea
Ethereum leads on 2 of 3 shared benchmarks, Linea on 1. Ethereum wins on Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across 15 L1 and L2 chains ($0.00267 vs $0.0152), Fastest Chainlink CCIP source chain by end-to-end delivery latency (17.2 min vs 82.5 min). Linea wins on Fastest LayerZero source chain by end-to-end message delivery (3.5 min vs 4.1 min).
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.
Linea
ConsenSys zkEVM rollup with a prover-bound block cadence. Idle periods batch into longer intervals (p50 around 3-6 s) while busy periods produce blocks closer to the nominal 2 s mark.

How is the Ethereum vs Linea comparison measured?
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
How this pair was selected
A pair is published when all four conditions hold. Both providers run in the same OpenChainBench benchmark for at least seven consecutive days. Each provider has at least 1000 samples in the measurement window. The head to head query has observable third party search demand. Both providers have a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo so the methodology is externally verifiable.
