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.
Five weeks ago, Ethereum celebrated 10 years of zero downtime. Next week, LINEA becomes the most significant token to enter the ecosystem since ETH itself.
The eligibility checker is now live ahead of the September 10 TGE.
LINEA echoes Ethereum's genesis allocation: 85% goes to the ecosystem. 10% for early users and builders (fully unlocked), 75% to the largest ecosystem fund in crypto history, of which 4% is also allocated to a community drop for LPs.
No team or VC allocations. Just sustainable, long-term ecosystem growth.
The Linea Consortium manages the ecosystem fund: @Consensys, @eigen_labs, @ensdomains, @SharpLinkGaming, and @ethstatus. Trusted Ethereum-native organizations stewarding resources over decades to come.
No token governance. Strategic decisions by aligned institutions.

We're preparing to drop the LXP users collected for Culture Szn soon! Linea's community helped new NFT and cultural projects flourish and create Linea Guilds.
A thread on the drop 👇
Every drop requires a careful review across over a million addresses to ensure each user gets the right amount of LXP. During this process, we are looking to see if Sybil farms have exploited the campaign.
Linea innovated the proof of humanity system using Verax to ensure that our network prioritizes real people, not empty addresses.
