Today, we're setting a new standard for Ethereum Layer 2.
Introducing native ETH yield, protocol-level ETH burn, and an Ethereum-native Consortium to manage the largest ecosystem fund in the space.
This is how we build the Layer 2 where Ethereum wins.
Linea will be the first L2 to burn ETH at the protocol level.
20% of all net transaction fees (paid in ETH) will be burned, directly reducing ETH supply, supporting Layer 1 value accrual, and increasing the value of ETH.
Bridged ETH will generate DeFi rewards.
ETH deposits will produce staking rewards to be distributed to LPs, fuelling Linea’s DeFi ecosystem. Linea LPs will accumulate this native yield in addition to returns from Linea DeFi activity, creating the best risk-adjusted returns and making Linea the best chain for ETH capital.
Ethereum’s largest ecosystem fund. LINEA’s token echoes the distribution of the Ethereum Genesis claim and puts the ecosystem first, directing the majority of funds toward users, builders, Ethereum public goods, and R&D.
85% Ecosystem (75% development fund + 10% early users)
15% Consensys treasury (5-year lockup)
No insiders. No value extraction. Just Ethereum.
Fund management by Ethereum-native stewards.
The Linea Consortium consists of a group of credible Ethereum organizations already significantly contributing to strengthening Ethereum. Its founding members include @eigen_labs, @ensdomains, @SharpLinkGaming, @ethstatus, and @Consensys.
More members to be announced in the future.
True Ethereum compatibility meets aligned economics.
Full Ethereum equivalent tech
+ ETH as gas token
+ ETH burn
+ Capital-efficient mechanics
+ Ecosystem-first tokenomics
+ Steward governance
= the most Ethereum-centric L2.
With $100B+ in ETH staked and $25T in transaction volume, Ethereum is cementing its role as the global settlement layer.
Linea is here to be Ethereum's most natural extension and strongest accelerator.
Linea is where Ethereum wins.
Believe in SomETHing.
