That is what Linea brings. It makes Ethereum feel smoother, lighter, and more accessible for everyone.
The past few weeks have been big for Linea. It officially launched its native token, LINEA, through one of the largest community airdrops of the year. More than nine billion tokens were distributed to almost three quarters of a million users. That is huge. It showed that Linea already had a strong community before the token even reached exchanges. But of course, like every major crypto launch, it came with excitement, chaos, and lessons learned.
Right when the airdrop went live, Linea’s sequencer, the part of the network that processes transactions, suddenly stopped producing blocks. For about an hour, the network froze. Users could not claim tokens, transactions got stuck, and the hype quickly turned into confusion. The team acted fast, fixed the issue, and explained what went wrong. It was not ideal timing, but it also showed how the team handled pressure and was transparent during a critical moment.
Once the network recovered, people rushed to claim their tokens. And as always happens, many sold right away. The LINEA token dropped more than thirty percent within the first day. Some saw it as a red flag, others as a normal post launch correction. The price did not define the project though. The bigger story was about what Linea was building underneath the surface and what direction it was taking.
Linea’s tokenomics are actually one of its most interesting features. The team designed a dual burn mechanism. Every time users pay transaction fees, twenty percent of the ETH used is burned forever, while eighty percent is used to buy back and burn LINEA tokens. That means every bit of activity on the network directly reduces the supply of both ETH and LINEA. It connects usage to value in a simple, transparent way. The more the network is used, the stronger its token economy becomes.@Linea.eth #Linea $LINEA
