[H1] Linea is Ethereum
A network that pushes value back to L1.

[IMG: Published date]

[IMG: Blog post cover image]
Copy linkShareToday, Linea reveals a pioneering new approach to building the Layer 2 where Ethereum wins. We see scaling and strengthening Ethereum as inseparable goals, and Linea is built to serve both. The L2 ecosystem has flourished with diverse approaches, but we believe there’s room for a model deeply aligned with Ethereum itself, both technologically and economically. Every decision in our architecture, including gas mechanics, tokenomics, and governance, is structured to push value back to L1.Linea is designed not as an alternative to Ethereum, but as an extension of it, mirroring its values, amplifying its security, and sustaining its monetary logic.
[H2] The Best Chain for ETH Capital
Ethereum’s native asset, ETH, is one of the most secure, decentralized, and liquid digital assets ever developed. Linea protects and furthers its important and expanding role in the global economy in a few key ways:Productive ETH MechanicsOn Linea, every transaction will burn ETH, directly reducing its supply, reinforcing its long-term value, and bolstering its position as a digital commodity.20 percent of net income gas fees, which are paid in ETH, will be burned, and the remaining 80 percent of gas fees will be used to burn LINEA. This creates a direct economic link between network usage and value accrual for both ETH and LINEA.Linea’s mechanics channel value back into Ethereum’s economic core. In this system, ETH isn’t just gas; it’s yield-generating, deflationary, and central to every layer of the network’s design.A New Model for Capital EfficiencyWhen users bridge ETH to Linea, it will be natively staked, generating the best risk-adjusted returns for liquidity providers, and thus fueling Linea’s DeFi ecosystem. Value compounds through deep alignment with Ethereum’s monetary logic. Linea doesn’t just scale ETH, it works to make ETH the most important, most productive asset in the digital world. Full details to follow soon.
[H2] Tokenomics: Ethereum First, Ecosystem Always
The distribution of the LINEA token echoes the ethos of Ethereum’s genesis allocation: radically open, ecosystem-focused, and aligned with long-term builders.85% of the LINEA token supply is allocated to the ecosystem10% for early users and contributors75% dedicated to ecosystem growth, public goods funding, and Ethereum R&D, via Ethereum’s largest ecosystem fund to dateThe remaining 15% is held by Consensys under a 5-year lockup as a commitment from the Ethereum ecosystem’s longest-standing infrastructure builder for continued protocol development and product alignment.

[H2] Ethereum’s Largest Ecosystem Fund, Managed by Trusted Stewards
To shepherd this critical fund we’re organizing the Linea Consortium, a council of trusted Ethereum-native organizations already strengthening Ethereum, to oversee it.The Consortium, with initial members including Consensys, Eigen Labs, ENS, Status, and Sharplink, will steward the distribution of the majority of LINEA tokens. Additional stewards are expected to join the council in the future. Builders and communities across Ethereum will receive direct support to create public goods, build transformative applications, conduct research, and strengthen the protocol stack at its roots. The full charter detailing how seats, vetoes, and treasury control operate will be shared soon.

[H2] Scale Without Compromise: Ethereum Equivalence
When the Ethereum community first embraced L2s, it did so in the spirit of scale without sacrifice and performance without deviation from core values. Linea is committed to Ethereum equivalence consisting of functional and technical alignment at every level. Built as a 100% proven zkEVM rollup, Linea supports the entire Ethereum toolchain, respects the EVM bytecode and semantics, and evolves seamlessly alongside Ethereum’s own upgrades. For developers, this means no need to rewrite contracts, learn new gas dynamics, or worry about future compatibility. You can build on Linea with confidence, and users can interact with apps that behave exactly as expected, only faster and cheaper.
[H2] Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure for Global Finance
Linea was born from the same DNA that powers MetaMask and Infura. Incubated by Consensys and backed by over a decade of experience supporting institutions, Linea is built not just to scale Ethereum, but to bring it into the world’s financial core.As a product of Consensys, Linea is already trusted by global finance leaders, including Mastercard, Visa, JP Morgan, and several sovereign banks, and seamlessly integrates with the top DeFi protocols, custodians, and tokenization platforms. Linea offers Ethereum infrastructure that institutions can trust, users can love, and builders can rely on.

[H2] 2025 Launched a New Era for Linea and L2s
2025 will be remembered as the year a broken L2 paradigm began to shift to something more stable and enduring. This is the year the ecosystem grew up, and much of that foundation was laid in recent months by Linea Over the past several months with the launch of the LINEA token, Linea established itself as the most ETH-centric L2.  Linea tokenomics drives a non-extractive economy, designed to benefit every participant in our network over the long term “The networks that will matter in five years aren't the ones optimizing for today's benchmarks,” explains Declan Fox, Head of Linea. “They're the ones designed to be self-sustaining economies that strengthen Ethereum, not just sit on top of it.”December 11, 2025
