TechFlow news — On September 11, Marco Monaco, co-founder and Head of Growth at Linea, officially announced his resignation via social media. Monaco revealed that he had already resigned from ConsenSys in mid-June and formally stepped away from the project following the EthCC conference in mid-July. During his tenure, he dedicated nearly 20 hours per day to advancing Linea's business vision and ecosystem development.
Monaco expressed his desire to have more time to fully realize his vision—shifting perceptions of Linea from merely a mining network toward stronger community building and organic growth supported by MetaMask. However, he encountered strategic differences with ConsenSys leadership regarding the project’s direction. After careful consideration, both parties agreed that the optimal path forward for Linea would no longer include Monaco.
Going forward, the ConsenSys and MetaMask teams will take full responsibility for Linea’s development. Monaco emphasized that he continued supporting the Linea team during the transition to ensure a smooth handover. He affirmed his enduring role as Linea’s number-one supporter and stated that he has already begun pursuing new entrepreneurial challenges.
