terminology

A writing rulebook for spelling, capitalization, and naming technical and product terms in docs.linea.build. It defines distinctions such as Linea versus Lineth and web2 versus web3.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or editing documentation for docs.linea.build, especially pages that mention dapps, onchain systems, Linea, or Lineth.
Why use it?
It keeps documentation consistent and avoids using a product or technical term in the wrong form or context.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 390 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

terminology scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Terminology

Casing of common terms

  • Use "dapp" rather than "dApp" or "DApp", and capitalize like any other noun.
  • Use "onchain" rather than "on-chain" or "on chain", and capitalize like any other noun.
  • Use "offchain" rather than "off-chain" or "off chain", and capitalize like any other noun.
  • Use lowercase "web2" and "web3" (never "Web2"/"Web3"), except at the start of a sentence.

Linea vs. Lineth naming

Linea and Lineth are related but distinct terms, and getting them right matters for technical accuracy:

  • Linea is the public Mainnet network, brand, token, tokenomics, governance, and the Linea SDK.
  • Lineth is the open-source ZK-rollup stack, protocol, codebase, components, onchain contracts, and tooling that Linea Mainnet and other networks are built on.

Do not assert which term applies to a given page from memory. The canonical explanation, including the tab-to-product mapping (which tabs document Linea vs. Lineth), lives at Linea and Lineth (docs/protocol/linea-vs-lineth.mdx). Read that page first, and match the naming already used on neighboring pages in the same section.

Where a page already uses a term consistently, keep matching it rather than introducing a new term. If you're unsure whether a name is final, leave the existing wording in place and note your question in the pull request description rather than guessing.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

terminology is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Consensys/doc.linea (474 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 390 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
