What is Linea?

Linea (formerly ConsenSys zkEVM) is a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) created by Consensys– the team behind MetaMask. It replicates the Ethereum environment as a rollup, allowing developers to use the same tools and experience as they would on the Ethereum mainnet. With Linea, users can benefit from the security and trust of Ethereum, but with lower transaction costs. Impressively, Linea has raised around US$726 million in multiple funding rounds, and has a valuation of around US$7 billion. This beats out zkSync, which has so far raised US$458 million. Hence many see Linea as having huge potential.

On 28th March 2023, Linea rolled out its public testnet on MetaMask to all Chrome users. Giving all users and developers a chance to check out their testnet. they will also launch a NFT testnet voyage soon. Users flocked to try the Linea testnet in the hopes of positioning themselves for a potential Linea airdrop. This is because they see Linea has huge potential for airdrop gains that may even rival zkSync.

On 11th July 2023, Linea announced the launch of their Mainnet Alpha. During this stage, Linea will begin onboarding its partners and users, monitoring the system and supporting those who are building on it. It also marks the kickstart of their bug bounty program and testing before finally opening to end users.

Is there a Linea token?

There is no mention of a Linea token in their Documentation yet, and according to a Consensys blog post on 13th December 2022, they have mentioned it is too early to discuss launching a Linea token. But, they have stated they are looking at ways to reward users who help test and improve Linea. Together with the attention and funding they have generated, there is a good possibility they will launch a token and do an airdrop in the future.

Join the Linea DeFi Voyage

The Linea DeFi Voyage is a new 6-week campaign launched by Linea in partnership with Interact. There is speculation that completing this voyage may position you for a potential airdrop because their announcement states that participants will be recognised as contributors to the Linea ecosystem. Also, participants will be rewarded with XP that can only be claimed once they successfully execute the Proof of Humanity (PoH) attestation. So, this seems to suggest that the soul bound XPs to be claimed may be a criterion for a potential $LINEA airdrop. Here’s how to participate in the Linea DeFi Voyage:

  • Set up your profile at https://www.intract.io/.
  • Go to the “Linea” tab at the top of the screen and complete each week’s Wave quests.
  • Week 0: These are social tasks
  • Week 1: This requires you to bridge at least $20 worth of ETH from Ethereum/zkSync/Optimism/Base/Arbitrum to Linea using MetaMask’s bridge function. As a bonus task you will also be required to swap at least $5 of ETH into any supported token using Metamask Portfolio on the Linea network.
  • Week 2: Bridge at least $25 worth of ETH from ETH token another network to Linea using any listed bridge partner dApp. We suggest using Stargate bridge as it also positions you for any potential Stargate airdrop. You can also complete the bonus tasks which includes doing more bridges with more ETH, and writing reviews.
  • Week 3: Swap at least $25 worth of ETH to any supported token on any supported DEX on Linea. You can find a list of the supported tokens and DEXs here.
  • Week 4: Borrow at least $25 worth of ETH/WETH in 1 transaction on any of the specified Linea ecosysyem money markets. You can also complete some of the bonus tasks if you supply specific coins as collateral i.e. stablecoins (for bonus task 1) or LST (wstETH) (for bonus task 2).
  • Week 5: To complete this task, you must provide a minimum of $25 worth of liquidity by using any 2 supported tokens with equivalent value. You must also provide liquidity on their specified DEXes.
  • Week 6: This is the last week and involves proof of humanity. You will need to verify your humanity by obtaining one attestation from a partner of Group A, and 2 attestations from the partners of Group B.

Linea (ConsenSys zkEVM) airdrop review

When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.

Likelihood of Airdrop: Linea has confirmed they are looking at ways to reward users who help test and improve their protocol. With the attention and funding (more than zkSync!) they have generated, there is a good chance of an airdrop.

Airdropped Token Allocation: There is no information on the Linea token allocation yet.

Airdrop Difficulty: Users will need to interact with various projects in the Linea ecosystem. However, Linea is only in the public testnet stage so no real user funds will be used.

Token Utility:  There is no information on the Linea token utility yet.

Token Lockup: There is no information on the Linea token lockup yet.
