🔥 Linea Scaling Ethereum's Future 👀
Linea, a zkEVM Layer-2 network developed by Consensys, is designed as a seamless extension of Ethereum, offering ultra-low fees, rapid settlement, and full compatibility with Ethereum tools. Launched in July 2023, it processes transactions off-chain while inheriting Ethereum's security. By November 2025, Linea boasts over $1.5 billion in TVL, ranking among the top L2s, with integrations across DeFi giants like Aave, 1inch, and Lido.
The LINEA Token: Governance and Incentives
Introduced in September 2025 via a Token Generation Event, LINEA is the native token powering the ecosystem. With a maximum supply of 72 billion tokens, 85% is allocated for community growth—no insider cuts—mirroring
Ethereum's genesis distribution.
Managed by the Linea Association and Consortium (including ENS, Eigen Labs, and Status), it funds the largest ecosystem grant pool in history.
LINEA's utilities include:
Gas Fees: Pays for transactions, with 20% ETH fees burned to bolster Ethereum's deflation.
Burn Mechanism: 80% of fees buy back and burn LINEA, creating scarcity.
Governance: Enables DAO voting on upgrades and fund allocation.
Staking Rewards: Native yields for ETH bridged to Linea, incentivizing liquidity.
Circulating supply stands at 15.48 billion tokens. As of November 2, 2025, LINEA trades at $0.01454, up 15.88% in 24 hours, with a $225.17 million market cap and $107.96 million volume.
Growth and Roadmap
Linea's Surge campaign and Voyage LXP quests have driven user engagement, distributing points convertible to tokens. Over 230 million transactions processed highlight its speed. Q4 2025 targets 0.5-second blocks and 5,000 TPS via the Limitless Prover, plus delegated proof-of-stake by 2027.
