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.
Check yours at linea.build/hub
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.
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.

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.

Ethereum addresses are essential but hard to remember. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) simplifies this by translating blockchain addresses into human-readable names.
Starting today, @ensdomains are now available on Linea, building towards our vision of a user-friendly Ethereum. 🥳
ENS' growth parallels the rise of Layer 2 blockchains like Linea, which lower fees and increase transaction speeds, and even @VitalikButerin highlighted that L2s are crucial for keeping @ensdomains affordable.
Tomorrow is going to be minting day for Linea Park LXP!
A thread on why it took a while, the sybil situation, and on why having a vibrant and committed community is fundamental for the success of an ecosystem ⬇
Linea Park had an incredible participation, for which we (and the builders) are grateful to the community that expressed great feedback during the event.
When there is a very high participation from the community though, there can be a drawdown: the spread of bots and sybils.

🔊Update on Velocore Incident
The Velocore DEX was exploited. Our teams have been employing our ecosystem security measures to mitigate the damage from this attack. More info in this thread.
Linea network remains secure, this only affected a 3rd party dapp.
@hexagate_ alerted us about the ongoing exploit, helped trace stolen user funds, exploiter addresses and vulnerable contracts. 700ETH moved off Linea via a 3rd party bridge. It was the middle of the night, Velocore was still vulnerable and we could not get ahold of their team.

wen LXP for Linea Park?
The team is working to make the LXP mint happen soon. Here's why it's taking longer than normal, and how our extra efforts are geared to protect the interests of our community.
1. Thanks to the community, we detected Sybil activity which managed to bypass issuers and attain attestations as though they are individual people. We strive to make our Voyage human-centric, so this caused us to pause distributing LXP

Here’s our plan regarding the implementation of Dencun (EIP-4844) on Linea Mainnet. ❤️
Our target is to launch the upgrade on March 26th. In this thread, we’ll share more details about this target date and how it fits into the other things going on in the ecosystem.
🧵
Our engineers and auditors have been working on EIP-4844 as the sole focus since we launched our Alpha v2, an upgrade which resulted in 66% lower fees for the community.
With Alpha v2 and 4844, Linea will be well-positioned to offer very cheap gas prices.🔥

🧵Human verification has arrived!
From now until the end of the DeFi Voyage, Voyagers can execute proof of humanity with our attestation providers on .
But first, let’s learn about on-chain attestations & digital identity with platforms like Verax. ⛓️ intract.io/linea
👥 An attestation simply means proof or evidence.
Passport: proof of citizenship; Degree: proof of educational credentials.
In Web3, attestations represent digital identity, ownership and more. They are the foundation blocks adding to the excitement of blockchain tech! 🌎🔐

🔊The Proof of Humanity 🌊wave is coming soon!
In preparation, we wanted to go through some crucial consideration points👇🧵
Remember: Linea Voyage XP (LXP) are NON-TRANSFERABLE⚠️
This means that once LXP are collected in a wallet account, they cannot be moved. It is therefore crucial to accumulate LXP in one wallet to accurately measure your contribution to the growth of the Linea network.
