What Linea is aiming for

Strategic goals

Linea is a Layer-2 (L2) network built by ConsenSys (and aligned with ETH / Ethereum) that wants to strengthen Ethereum’s economy, not just run parallel to it.

The token itself (LINEA) is designed differently — gas fees on Linea are paid in ETH, not LINEA, which already signals that LINEA’s purpose is not purely “pay your gas with it”.

More than traditional governance, the emphasis is on ecosystem growth, alignment with ETH, deflationary mechanics, and developer/user incentives.

Token Generation Event (TGE) + Airdrop: Eligible users could claim LINEA starting ~9 Sept 2025 (claim window ~90 days until ~9 Dec).

Supply & allocation: Total supply ~72 billion tokens. 85% to ecosystems (10% early users/builders, 75% long-term ecosystem fund). 15% to ConsenSys treasury locked for 5 years.

Circulating start: At TGE ~22% of supply entered circulation (through airdrop, builder incentives, liquidity) with remaining locked/vested.

Burns start to matter as usage grows: Since network fees are paid in ETH, as activity increases, the mechanism to burn both ETH & LINEA becomes a lever for scarcity.
