Linea reveals token plans, taps SharpLink and others for distribution

Linea, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Consensys, has laid out formal tokenomics for its LINEA token and said most of the supply will be directed to ecosystem growth rather than insider allocations or tokenholder governance. The project says LINEA has no DAO-style voting rights, no tokens were sold or allocated to employees or investors, and 85% of supply is reserved for the ecosystem, with the remaining 15% held by Consensys under a five-year unlock. A central part of the design is a dual-burn model: Linea says a portion of net ETH revenue from the network will be used to buy and burn LINEA, while another portion will be used to burn ETH, tying token demand and network activity back to Ethereum itself. The ecosystem fund will be managed by the Linea Consortium, which includes Ethereum-native organizations such as ENS Labs, Eigen Labs, SharpLink, Status, and Consensys, highlighting the project’s attempt to distribute power and incentives across aligned builders and infrastructure players. The announcement matters because it positions Linea as a major Ethereum-aligned L2 experiment in token distribution and fee recycling at a time when new layer-2 tokens are often scrutinized for insider-heavy allocations and weak utility.
