Linea announces token economics: total supply of approximately 7.2 billion tokens, 9% allocated for early user airdrops

ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, LINEA tokenomics: The total supply is 72,009,990,000 (approximately 7.2 billion) tokens, which is equivalent to 1,000 times the initial circulating supply of ETH. Its distribution method echoes Ethereum's genesis distribution: 85% of the supply is dedicated to the ecosystem, while the remaining 15% is allocated to the treasury. Early users will receive tokens from a distribution equivalent to 9% of the token supply, which will be airdropped and fully unlocked at TGE. Airdrop eligibility will be assessed based on a series of metrics, including LXP and on-chain metrics. Complete details and individual eligibility information will be published via the official eligibility checker before TGE. In addition to user airdrops, 1% of the LINEA token supply will be reserved for strategic builders in the 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, which is managed by a consortium that includes ENS Labs, Eigen Labs, SharpLink, Status, and Consensys. Approximately 25% of the funds will be allocated to support the launch of the ecosystem within the first 12-18 months, while the remaining 50% will be gradually released over 10 years. These funds will be used to finance protocol development, shared infrastructure, open-source tools, and establish strategic partnerships with developers aligned with the goals. 15% of the total token supply is allocated to the treasury. These tokens will be locked for five years and cannot be transferred until the full vesting period expires.

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