Linea is one of the loudest Layer-2 plays of 2025 a zkEVM rollup built to scale Ethereum while remaining as close to “Ethereum-native” as possible. Alongside the protocol’s broader airdrop and builder incentives, Binance recently launched a CreatorPad / Square campaign that unlocks a total of 3,600,500 LINEA token vouchers for creators and participants who finish a set of simple promotion + trading tasks. This article explains what Linea is, the exact tasks and eligibility, the reward math and breakdown, and practical tips to improve your chances of landing in the Top-100 leaderboard or at least claiming a share. I pulled details from official Linea pages and Binance’s campaign posts, plus independent reporting and community guides so this is actionable and easy to follow.
Quick TL;DR (if you want the short version)
Total campaign pool: 3,600,500 LINEA token vouchers.
How the pool is split:
Top 100 creators on the LINEA 30D Project Leaderboard share 2,520,350 LINEA (this is the big prize ~70% of the total).
Remaining eligible participants who complete all tasks share 720,100 LINEA (~20%).
Top 50 creators on Binance Square (7-day leaderboard) share 360,050 LINEA (~10%).
(Note: technically Binance’s mechanics combine a 3,240,450 LINEA prize for CreatorPad tasks + 360,050 for the Square Top-50, totalling 3,600,500.)
What Linea is very short primer (so the rewards context makes sense)
Linea is a Layer-2 zk-rollup (zkEVM) built to give developers and users an Ethereum-equivalent experience with lower fees and faster settlement. It aims to be Ethereum equivalent (same tooling, same address/account model) while using zero.knowledge proofs to compress many transactions off-chain and post succinct proofs on mainnet that’s where the “zkEVM” label comes from. Because it’s aimed at production-grade Ethereum compatibility, Linea has become central to a lot of Layer-2 ecosystem activity and promotions (including airdrops and builder rewards).
Campaign basics dates, who can join, and the short rules
Activity Period: 2025-10-28 09:00 (UTC) 2025-11-28 09:00 (UTC) (this is the official CreatorPad window listed by Binance).
Who’s eligible: Verified Binance users (Binance account verification/KYC must be completed) who complete the required tasks. Binance explicitly requires verification to receive rewards and reserves the right to disqualify suspicious activity.
Core mechanics: Complete a fixed set of social + minimal trading tasks (see list below). Eligible users are scored and ranked on the 30-day Project Leaderboard; the Top 100 on that 30-day leaderboard split the large portion of the pool. A separate Square Creator Leaderboard (7 day snapshot at launch) splits 360,050 LINEA among its top 50.
The tasks step-by-step (do these exactly as written)
To qualify for the 3,240,450 LINEA CreatorPad pool you must complete Tasks 1 4 and one of Tasks 5, 6 or 7:
1. Task 1 Follow the project’s account on Binance Square
2. Task 2 Follow the project’s account on X (Twitter)
3. Task 3 — Create content on Binance Square meeting these criteria:
Minimum 100 characters about Linea
Include hashtags #LINEA and $LINEA and mention @Linea.eth (as specified)
Content must be relevant and original
4. Task 4 Create content on X (Twitter) meeting these criteria:
Minimum 100 characters about Linea
Use hashtags #LINEA and $LINEA and mention @LineaBuild
Content must be relevant and original
5. Task 5 OR Task 6 OR Task 7 (pick one trading task):
Task 5: Trade at least $10 equivalent of LINEA in a single spot trade on Binance.
Task 6: Trade at least $10 equivalent of LINEA in a single futures trade on Binance.
Task 7: Trade at least $10 equivalent of LINEA in a single Binance Convert transaction.
(You must do Tasks 1 4 and one of 5/6/7 to be eligible for the CreatorPad reward pool.)
Important details clarifications from Binance wording:
The 30-day Project Leaderboard ranking used to allocate the main 3,240,450 LINEA is based on the leaderboard result at the activity end date. That ranking determines the Top-100 split formula.
The extra 360,050 LINEA is an additional allocation for the Top 50 creators on the Square Creator Leaderboard (7-day ranking at the activity launch date).
How rewards are calculated (the formula / allocation logic)
Top 100 creators share 2,520,350 LINEA. Within the Top 100, each creator’s reward follows a mindshare proportional allocation:
User’s reward (User’s mindshare / Total mindshare of top 100) × 2,520,350 LINEA. “Mindshare” is Binance’s internal scoring metric for creator performance (engagement, views, likes, reposts, etc.) on the Project Leaderboard.
Remaining eligible participants (i.e., users who completed required tasks but are not in the Top 100) share 720,100 LINEA in proportion to their mindshare among all remaining eligible participants.
Top 50 Square creators split 360,050 LINEA into three ranking groups (Binance shows a table for exact splits by rank group).
Because the distribution uses proportional formulas, moving from rank #101 to #100 can produce outsized gains, and creating high-engagement content helps increase your mindshare weight.
Step-by-step checklist (follow this to avoid mistakes)
1. Verify your Binance account (KYC) required to receive tokens. Confirm your email, phone, and KYC level.
2. Follow the specified accounts on Binance Square and X (do this before you post so your content links properly).
3. Write the two pieces of content (Square + X). Keep them ≥100 characters, original, relevant include #LINEA, $LINEA, and the account mentions exactly as Binance requested. Save screenshots or links.
4. Make the $10 LINEA trade (spot, futures, or Convert) in one transaction. Keep trade confirmation screenshots or order IDs. If you need LINEA to the exchange, fund a small amount of ETH/USDT and use the Linea bridge if you prefer holding on L2 but Binance trading will accept deposits in usual ways. (Trading task is intentionally low barrier: $10.)
5. Track your leaderboard position during the activity window. High engagement on your posts (likes, comments, saves, reposts) raises your mindshare. Aim for shares and meaningful comments those typically weigh more.
Practical tips and creator tactics (humanized, battle-tested)
Quality > spam. Original, informative posts about Linea (mini-guides, how to use the bridge, why zkEVM matters) will get more engagement than short promotional blurbs. Binance requires ≥100 characters use that space to add real value.
Cross-promote: Post on X and Square, then pin the posts on your profile so visitors see them immediately. Ask followers to comment and save (these are engagement signals).
Timing matters: Post when your audience is online. For the Pakistan time zone (UTC+5), early evening local time often captures both Asian and European engagement. Test a couple of posting times.
Use visuals: A simple screenshot of the Linea bridge, a short infographic, or even a 30s explainer video raises engagement just be sure the content is original.
Encourage interactions: Ask a single, direct question at the end of your post that invites reply (e.g., “Which dApp do you want on Linea next?”). Comments are more valuable than passive likes.
Be trackable and compliant: Keep screenshots of follow/trade confirmations and the post links; Binance reserves the right to audit and disqualify suspicious activity. Don’t buy engagements (explicit disqualification risk).
How to know if you have an airdrop token voucher to claim (additional Linea context)
Linea itself has run its own airdrop and an airdrop lookup/claim tool for other early user incentives. If you’re specifically interested in the Linea protocol airdrop(s), use the official Linea claim page airdrop lookup to check LXP activity and eligibility this is separate from Binance’s CreatorPad token voucher program, but often people combine both strategies (participate on L2 + join exchange promos). Always use official claim pages and never share private keys.
Risks & important disclaimers
Binance rules apply. Verification required, and Binance can disqualify for suspicious or rule breaking activity. Read the CreatorPad T&Cs.
Token vouchers vs actual tokens. Binance describes these as token vouchers often exchanges distribute vouchers that can be redeemed or are converted according to the exchange’s timetable. Check the redemption instructions and windows.
Market risk. Tokens can be volatile after listing; participating for rewards is not investment advice. This guide is purely informational.
Official sources & useful links (for verification claims l. reading)

Press reporting: The Block and others covered Linea’s airdrop and tools; good for background reading.
Final words a short strategy plan you can copy
1. Finish KYC on Binance immediately if you haven’t.
2. Follow Linea on Square and X.
3. Draft two original posts (≥100 characters) one for Square, one for X . include required hashtags and mentions. Use an image or short explainer.
4. Make a single trade of $10 LINEA on Binance (spot futures convert). Save receipts.
5. Promote your posts to friends/followers for organic engagement; encourage comments and shares. Aim for consistent engagement during the 30-day window.
6. Track the 30-day Project Leaderboard and the Square 7-day snapshot. If you start climbing, double down on follow-ups and engagement prompts.
If you want, I can:
Draft two example posts (one optimized for Binance Square and one for X) that meet the ≥100 character requirement and use the exact hashtags mentions ready to copy/paste.
