#linea $LINEA is a high-profile L2 built by ConsenSys to scale Ethereum using zkEVM tech — it isn’t just another chain, it’s designed to make Ethereum ecosystem stronger. 
• Gas fees on LINEA are still paid in ETH (not LINEA), which keeps things aligned with Ethereum. 
• The token generation event (TGE) launched with a massive airdrop: >9.36 billion LINEA tokens claimable in a 90-day window. 
• Real usage is growing: LINEA has become one of the top L2s in TVL and ecosystem activity. 
Why it could matter:
If you believe Ethereum’s future rests on strong scaling and more capital flowing on-chain, LINEA is positioning itself as the infrastructure layer for that.
Important to watch:
It had a recent outage (≈40-60 min) due to sequencer issues — good reminder that even high-profile tech still has operational risk.
