In this era where Layer 2 solutions are competing for airdrops and yields, Linea stands out. It has almost no noisy marketing, yet it can grow against the trend in a cold market cycle, relying not on traffic but on long-termism—steady resonance of technology foundation, ecological layout, and value logic.
Linea is led by ConsenSys, and this name holds great significance for Ethereum veterans. Infrastructure such as MetaMask, Infura, and Truffle all originate from ConsenSys, and they are now deeply integrated with Linea. This structure makes Linea almost the 'official scalability layer of Ethereum', allowing developers to seamlessly migrate smart contracts, and users can experience the smooth interactions of native Ethereum at a lower cost.
According to DefiLlama data, Linea's current TVL is approximately $800 million, with a growth of over 400% in six months. There are over 200 ecological projects covering multiple fields such as DeFi, NFT, AI, and GameFi. Mainstream protocols like Aave, SyncSwap, and Velocore have gone live, with an average daily trading volume of about $20 million and over 200,000 active wallets. This data reflects Linea's real retention and usage value against the backdrop of cooling interest in Layer2.
The economic design of the Linea token $LINEA continues ConsenSys's rational style. 20% of each transaction burns ETH, and 80% is repurchased and destroyed $LINEA, creating a 'dual deflation' mechanism. The more active the ecosystem, the scarcer the token; this model deeply binds value growth with ecosystem development, truly realizing the long-term logic of 'promoting growth through use'.
Of course, Linea is not perfect. Its ecological innovation still needs to be strengthened, and some projects are primarily focused on migration; the total token supply is relatively large, and the unlocking rhythm may also bring short-term volatility. However, these challenges do not change Linea's long-term direction. Compared to chasing short-term explosions in Layer2, Linea is more like building a moat with 'time compounding'.
When the market returns to fundamentals, Linea may become the project rediscovered by those who were late to realize its potential. Slow does not mean weak; stability is the most scarce competitiveness.
