Linea fees explained
Linea transactions cost a fraction of a cent. Here is why a zkEVM is so cheap, what you pay in, and how to get the small amount of ETH you need.
Why Linea fees are low
Linea bundles many transactions, proves them with zero-knowledge cryptography, and posts a compact proof to Ethereum. You share the L1 cost across the whole batch, so per-transaction fees stay tiny — usually well under a cent.
What you pay fees in
All Linea gas is paid in ETH. You only need a small amount — a fraction of an ETH covers deploying a token plus many transfers.
How to get ETH on Linea
- Withdraw ETH from an exchange that supports the Linea network.
- Or bridge from Ethereum — see how to bridge to Linea.
- Set your wallet to Linea — see add Linea to MetaMask.
Fees when creating a token
