What is Linea (LINEA)?
Linea is a Layer 2 (L2) scaling network built by Consensys to strengthen Ethereum and the broader ETH ecosystem. It uses zk-EVM architecture, meaning it processes transactions off-chain via zero-knowledge proofs but remains fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts and tooling.
Key features include:
- EVM-equivalence, letting existing Ethereum dApps work with little change.
- Lower transaction fees and faster settlement times compared to Ethereum mainnet.
- Token generation event (TGE) with over 9.36 billion LINEA tokens claimable over a 90-day window, ending December 9, 2025.
- Dual fee-burning system: part of transaction fees (in ETH) are burned or used to buy back LINEA tokens, which supports scarcity.
What makes Linea newsworthy now
- The token just launched, creating high attention in the ecosystem. High trading volume and interest were seen immediately after the airdrop and TGE.
- But with the airdrop came sell-pressure: whales and early recipients have sold, leading to significant price drops (20-50%) from initial highs.
- Linea’s tokenomics offer potential recovery or stabilization via buy-back + burn mechanics, ecosystem usage, and staking / governance expectations.
