Linea ecosystem projects: 10 on NAUT, 5 DEX and trading apps

NAUT tracks 10 Linea ecosystem projects: company rows that carry a Linea chain tag and name 3 or fewer chains in total, read on 9 November 2026. DEX and trading apps lead the group with 5 of the 10, and the other 5 are 1 each in L2 infrastructure, liquidity distribution, AI data, gaming and cross-chain bridging, with 6 carrying a launched token and 10 carrying an X handle.

How this list was built, all figures read from NAUT's database on 9 November 2026: 81 company rows on NAUT carry Linea among their chains. The 71 rows that also carry 4 or more chain tags were set aside, because a row tagged on 5 or 20 chains answers "which chains does this product support" rather than "what is built on Linea". That leaves the 10 below, 3 of them tagged on Linea alone. 2 points of care in the data: Cookie DAO's Linea tag rests on NAUT's record, since its stored description names no chain at all and its site field stores an app sign-up route rather than a homepage, and outside pages read for this article place its AI agent index on Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain; and Linea's row is flagged with a launched token while its stored description, written earlier, says token details had not been released, so the stored text is stale on that point. On AirSwap's row the only stored co-founder title is marked former, and an outside check contradicted the role, so that name is left out here.

Which Linea ecosystem projects are on NAUT, and what does each build?

The 10 rows below are ranked by the X follower count on NAUT's record, highest first. Chains are the chain tags on each NAUT row. Follower counts sit in the chart under this table, and the launched-token flags in the FAQ below, so the table stays readable on a phone.

Project	Chains on NAUT	What it builds
Linea	Ethereum, Linea	Developer-focused zk-rollup Layer 2 for Ethereum, backed by ConsenSys
Turtle	BNB Chain, Ethereum, Linea	Liquidity distribution protocol
Cookie DAO	BNB Chain, Base, Linea	AI agents index and a data layer for AI and humans
ZKEX	Linea	Multi-chain DEX secured by zero-knowledge proofs
MYX Finance	BNB Chain, Linea	Perpetual DEX with a matching pool that hedges each position
The Unfettered Souls	Linea, Polygon	PC game that bridges a full gaming experience with Web3
Lynex	Linea	LST-centric liquidity marketplaces built for capital efficiency
AirSwap	Ethereum, Linea	Peer-to-peer trading network built on Ethereum
SpartaDEX	Arbitrum, Linea	Real-time strategy game set in ancient Greece joined to a DEX
zeroDAO	Linea	Layer 0 bridging EVM and non-EVM networks with multiparty cryptography

The 6 categories come out as 5 DEX and trading apps, ZKEX, MYX Finance, Lynex, AirSwap and SpartaDEX, and 1 row each in L2 Infrastructure (Linea), Liquidity (Turtle), AI & Data (Cookie DAO), Gaming (The Unfettered Souls) and Infrastructure (zeroDAO), so trading venues are where a BD lead will spend most of a first pass at the Linea blockchain ecosystem. 3 rows sit on Linea alone, ZKEX, Lynex and zeroDAO, which makes them the Linea projects with nothing else to split their attention.

Which Linea ecosystem projects have the biggest X audience?

The 10 rows hold 2,235,244 followers between them, and Linea itself holds 1,296,103 of those, so the 9 projects around it account for 939,141. Every 1 of the 10 has an X handle on NAUT, which makes a public reply or a DM the fastest first touch for the 5 rows that carry no site field.

Who runs each Linea project, and who can you reach?

6 of the 10 rows carry a person on NAUT's record. That is NAUT's record of these teams, not a count of the people who work there, and 1 name is left out below for the reason given in the data note.

• Linea lists Joseph Lubin as CEO / President. ConsenSys's own bio page for him reads "co-Founder of Ethereum, Founder and CEO of Consensys".
• Turtle lists 2 co-founders, Benedikt Schulz as Co-Founder and CCO and Felix Frisk as Co-Founder and Tech Lead. An outside write-up of the protocol says "Benedikt Schulz is Chief Commercial Officer and Felix Frisk is Tech Lead".
• MYX Finance lists Mark Zhang as Co-Founder and CEO and Ryan as CPO, per NAUT's record.
• ZKEX lists Balal Khan as Co-founder and Head of Growth, per NAUT's record.
• Cookie DAO carries a team with no founder title among them on NAUT's record, the senior roles being a CMO, a CPO, a COO and a head of ecosystem.
• AirSwap carries a stored co-founder title marked former, which an outside check contradicted, so the name is left out here.
• The remaining 4 rows, The Unfettered Souls, Lynex, SpartaDEX and zeroDAO, carry no person on NAUT yet, so the X handle on each page is the open door for them.

Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

What this tells a BD team working the Linea ecosystem

• Trading is the market here. 5 of the 10 rows are DEX and trading apps, so a liquidity, market-making, audit or listing pitch has 5 named targets before you leave this page.
• Token status splits the list almost evenly: 6 launched, 4 not launched on NAUT's record. The 4 pre-token rows, Cookie DAO, ZKEX, AirSwap and zeroDAO, are the ones a launchpad, exchange or tokenomics adviser should open first.
• Funding signal is thin on this set. MYX Finance is the 1 row with a raise documented outside NAUT for this article: more than $10M since 2023, with ConsenSys and HashKey Capital among the investors named in the reports read on 9 November 2026.
• Named people reach most of the list. 6 rows carry a person on NAUT, 4 do not, so for those 4 the practical route in runs through the X handle and the site, then NAUT's company page for anyone added later.

How were these Linea ecosystem projects checked?

Every figure in the table and chart above is a value in NAUT's own database, read on 9 November 2026. On top of that, 12 claims covering all 10 rows were put to outside sources, 1 claim for 8 of the rows and 2 each for Linea and MYX Finance. 10 of the 12 came back confirmed and 2 came back contradicted.

• 4 of the confirmed claims had their exact wording located on the page and are quoted in this article: Linea as a zk-rollup, Joseph Lubin's role at ConsenSys, the 2 Turtle leads and zeroDAO's layer 0 description.
• 4 more were confirmed against a page the check could not re-read plus a second source, so they are paraphrased here: MYX Finance's raise, ZKEX as a zero-knowledge DEX, The Unfettered Souls on Linea and Polygon, and SpartaDEX on Arbitrum and Linea.
• 2 confirmed claims whose wording was not found on the page cited are left out of this article, so MYX Finance's 4-chain footprint and Lynex's positioning are stated here only as NAUT's stored description.
• The 2 contradicted claims are out: AirSwap's stored co-founder name, which outside pages give to 2 other people, and Cookie DAO's agent index reaching Linea, which the pages read place on Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain.
