Linea is introducing a new token system that’s designed to make its token more valuable over time. The idea is simple: the more people use the #Linea network, the fewer tokens will be available in the market. Linea uses something called a dual-burn model. Whenever users make transactions, 20% of the fees are used to burn ETH (Ethereum), and 80% are used to buy LINEA tokens from the market and burn them too. This process reduces the total supply of both ETH and $LINEA , making each token more scarce. Linea’s total supply is around 72 billion tokens, but most of these are locked or saved for ecosystem growth. ConsenSys — the company behind Linea — has locked its own share for years, showing a strong long-term commitment. The main goal is to link Linea’s growth directly with Ethereum’s value while slowly reducing the number of tokens in circulation.
For users and investors, this could mean that if Linea gains more activity — like more people sending transactions, swapping tokens, or using DeFi apps — the system will automatically burn more tokens. That burning process can create constant buying pressure for @Linea.eth , which may support its price in the long run. On top of that, Linea plans to offer native yield rewards, where users can stake ETH on the network and earn rewards. This can attract more ETH to Linea, leading to more transactions and more burns. So, in simple words, as more people use Linea, the network keeps buying and burning tokens, making them rarer over time. This could help the token’s value increase naturally, but it depends on real user activity, not just speculation.
Still, there are things to be careful about. Having a deflationary system doesn’t automatically make a token’s price go up. It only works if people continue using the network regularly. Because Linea has a large total supply (72 billion), how and when those tokens are released will also affect the price. If too many tokens enter the market early, it could put pressure on prices even if burning is happening. The buy-back model also depends on transaction fees — if the network doesn’t generate enough real usage, the burn rate will stay low. Lastly, while burning ETH helps the broader Ethereum ecosystem, it might not always raise LINEA’s value right away. For users, the best approach is to watch how much activity is happening on the network — like transaction numbers, the amount of ETH bridged to Linea, and how many LINEA tokens are being burned. If the network keeps growing, the deflationary system could be a strong, long-term advantage for both the project and its token holders.
