Linea Announces Tokenomics: Total Supply of approximately 72 billion tokens, with 9% Allocated for Early User Airdrop

BlockBeats News, July 30th, Linea officially announced the LINEA Tokenomics: The total supply is 72,009,990,000 (approximately 72 billion) tokens, equivalent to 1,000 times the initial circulating supply of ETH. The distribution is designed to echo Ethereum's genesis distribution: 85% of the supply is dedicated to the ecosystem, and the remaining 15% is allocated to the Consensys Treasury. Early users will receive tokens from a distribution equivalent to 9% of the token supply, which will be airdropped at TGE and fully unlocked. Airdrop eligibility will be assessed based on a series of metrics, including LXP and on-chain indicators. Full details and individual qualification information will be announced through the official qualification checker prior to TGE. In addition to the user airdrop, 1% of the LINEA token supply will be reserved for strategic builders in the Linea ecosystem and will be fully unlocked at TGE, including core applications and the community.

75% of the LINEA token supply is allocated to the Ecosystem Fund managed by the Linea Alliance, whose members include ENS Labs, Eigen Labs, SharpLink, Status, and Consensys. Approximately 25% of the funds will be used to support ecosystem launches in the first 12-18 months, and the remaining 50% will be gradually released over 10 years to fund protocol development, shared infrastructure, open-source tools, and strategic partnerships with developers aligned with the goals. 15% of the total token supply is allocated to the Consensys Treasury. These tokens will be locked for five years and are not transferable until the full vesting period expires.

ETH is used as the network Gas token, and after deducting L1 costs, 20% of Gas fees will be burned, reducing the ETH supply and enhancing its currency premium, while the remaining 80% of Gas fees will be used to burn LINEA.
