description: 'Linea is ConsenSys'' ZK-EVM Layer 2 network built on Ethereum, offering low fees, fast finality, and full EVM
  compatibility. Developers access on-chain data through three complementary API surfaces: a public JSON-RPC endpoint (rpc.linea.build)
  supporting all standard Ethereum methods plus Linea-specific extensions (linea_estimateGas, linea_getProof), a REST Token
  API (token-api.linea.build) for ERC-20 token metadata and price history, and the Lineascan block explorer API (Etherscan
  V2-compatible) for transactions, blocks, addresses, token transfers, event logs, and contract verification across Linea
  Mainnet (chainId 59144) and Sepolia testnet (chainId 59141).'

  name: Linea JSON-RPC API
  description: Standard Ethereum JSON-RPC API plus Linea-specific extensions available at the public endpoint rpc.linea.build.
    Supports all eth_* methods (eth_blockNumber, eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_sendRawTransaction, eth_call, eth_getLogs, etc.)
    as well as ERC-4337 account abstraction bundler methods and Linea-specific methods including linea_estimateGas (returns
    baseFeePerGas, priorityFeePerGas, and gasLimit accounting for L1 verification costs) and linea_getProof. The public endpoint
    is free but rate-limited; production workloads should use a private node provider such as Infura or Alchemy.

  name: Linea Explorer API (Lineascan / Blockscout)
  description: Blockchain data APIs for Linea Mainnet backed by two explorer surfaces. The Lineascan (lineascan.build) explorer
    uses the Etherscan API V2 interface (chain ID 59144) with modules covering accounts (native and ERC-20/721/1155 balances
    and transfer histories), transactions (normal, internal, deposit, withdrawal), blocks (rewards, countdowns, block number
    by timestamp), smart contracts (source code, ABI, creator, verification), token information (supply, holder list, holder
    count), event logs (by address and topics), and network statistics (daily transaction counts, gas usage, new address counts,
    Ether price and supply). The Blockscout-based explorer (explorer.linea.build) provides a complementary REST and GraphQL
    API surface. An API key from lineascan.build is required; subscriptions are managed via the Etherscan API V2 portal.
