Linea Wallet: Send, Bridge and Withdraw ETH on Linea zkEVM

How Linea addresses work

Linea uses standard Ethereum accounts, so your address is the same 0x address you have on Ethereum. Keylo derives it from your recovery phrase using the common Ethereum path, which means it matches the address MetaMask shows for the first account if you imported the same phrase. There is no activation step, minimum balance, memo or tag.

Smart contracts deployed on Linea behave like Ethereum contracts, but their addresses are not guaranteed to match. A token contract on Linea, for example the USDC contract, has a different address from USDC on Ethereum. Only your personal account address is shared across networks, so always look up token contracts per network.

How to set up a Linea wallet in Keylo

1. 1

   Open Keylo's registration page in your browser. It works on phones, tablets and desktops without an extension.

2. 2

   Fill in your name, email, phone and password, then confirm your email.

3. 3

   Your wallet is generated locally; the recovery phrase is encrypted in your browser with a key derived from your password.

4. 4

   Back up your 12-word phrase from Settings once you re-enter your password, and store it offline.

5. 5

   Choose Linea from the networks list to view your address and balances.

Receiving ETH on Linea, including from exchanges

1. 1

   Select Linea in Keylo and tap ETH or the token you want.

2. 2

   Tap Receive to see your 0x address, the QR code and the Linea label.

3. 3

   Copy the address or show the QR code to the sender.

4. 4

   When withdrawing from an exchange, pick Linea as the network. If it is not offered, withdraw to another network Keylo supports and bridge across.

5. 5

   Check Activity in Keylo; Linea blocks arrive every couple of seconds.

Sending ETH and tokens on Linea

Sending to an exchange from Linea needs one extra check: the exchange must list Linea as a deposit network for that exact asset. Some platforms accept ETH on Linea but not every Linea token. If the deposit page does not show Linea, bridge to a network it does support first, rather than hoping a support ticket will rescue a deposit later.

1. 1

   Open Linea, choose the asset and tap Send.

2. 2

   Paste or scan the recipient's address. Keylo validates the checksum and warns you if it is a contract.

3. 3

   Enter the amount, or tap Max to send everything except the fee.

4. 4

   Pick slow, normal or fast. Linea orders pending transactions by priority fee, so fast mostly matters when blocks are full.

5. 5

   Review the network fee and the exact amount, then confirm to sign in your browser.

How Linea gas fees are priced

Linea uses the EIP-1559 format, so a fee is gas used multiplied by base fee plus priority fee, paid in ETH. What is different is where the Ethereum data cost goes. Instead of adding a separate L1 fee line, Linea builds it into the priority fee, which depends on how many bytes your transaction takes up and on recent data costs. A small transfer is cheap; a large contract call carries a bigger priority fee.

Linea also enforces a minimum gas price, so transactions offering less than the floor are not picked up. Wallets ask the network for an estimate through a Linea-specific method that accounts for all of this, and Keylo shows the result in its review screen. You never need LINEA to pay gas, only ETH, and Keylo adds nothing to normal sends.

One quirk is worth knowing. Linea's sequencer favors higher priority fees, but transactions from the same account must still go in nonce order. If an earlier transaction from your address is stuck with a low fee, the ones after it wait too, however much they pay. Let the first one confirm, or send it again at a higher speed, before queueing more transfers.

Tokens on Linea: USDC, LINEA and spam

Linea supports ERC-20 tokens, which Keylo can show and send. USDC on Linea is issued natively by Circle after a 2025 migration from the older bridged version, and it moves between chains through Circle's CCTP. LINEA is an ordinary ERC-20 on Linea; holding it gives no vote and no gas discount. Wrapped ETH, restaking tokens and DeFi receipt tokens are common too.

Because Linea ran large points and airdrop campaigns, fake claim pages and copycat LINEA tokens circulate widely. A real airdrop never asks for your recovery phrase, and a token that arrives unannounced with a website in its name is almost always bait. Check contract addresses on Lineascan or the official Linea site before trading.

Bridge and swap on Linea, and how withdrawals are claimed

Keylo supports swap and bridge on Linea. LI.FI compares decentralized exchanges and audited bridges, THORChain covers native cross-chain swaps, and the quote lists route, expected output, minimum received and every fee before you confirm. You can follow a bridge until it lands, and the protocol refunds the sending wallet if a cross-chain route cannot complete.

The canonical Linea bridge is useful to understand even if you never use it. Deposits from Ethereum arrive within minutes. A withdrawal must wait until the batch containing it is proven on Ethereum, called hard finality, which Linea reports takes around two hours in the median case and should stay under about 16 hours. Then you send a claim transaction on Ethereum yourself and pay mainnet gas. Liquidity bridges deliver faster because they front the funds.

USDC is a special case. Because it is native on Linea, routes that use Circle's CCTP burn USDC on one chain and mint it on the other instead of wrapping it. You end up with real USDC on the destination, not a bridged copy, which keeps things simple when you later deposit to an exchange. The quote screen shows which bridge a route uses and how long it is expected to take.

Try Linea Sepolia before using real ETH

Keylo's testnet mode adds Linea Sepolia, where test ETH has no value. It is a low-stress way to learn the send and receive screens and see how priority-fee pricing behaves. When you are ready for mainnet, compare the experience with the Ethereum wallet guide to decide which network suits each payment.

Linea safety checklist

• Pay gas in ETH; keep a small balance even if you mainly hold USDC or LINEA.
• Use only official Linea and Consensys links for airdrops or campaigns, and never share your phrase.
• Remember the claim step: a canonical withdrawal is not finished until you claim it on Ethereum.
• Check token contracts on Lineascan before trusting a token in your list.
• Remove unused approvals, especially from past points campaigns and quest sites.
• Read how Keylo protects your wallet and turn on two-factor authentication.
