Linea Pledges ETH-Centric Layer 2: Native Yield Mechanism, ETH+LINEA Dual-Token Burn and L1 Reinvestment

Linea on Sept. 3 described its relationship with ETH as “silver and gold,” positioning the protocol as a complementary scaling layer for the Ethereum ecosystem. The announcement highlights a planned native yield mechanism designed to optimize cross-chain asset efficiency and support sustainable liquidity across connected networks.

The network outlined a dual-token burning model involving both ETH and LINEA, alongside formal mechanisms for value reinvestment into the underlying Layer 1 chain. These tokenomic measures are presented as tools to enhance capital efficiency while providing recurring funding for core development.

Linea indicated the initiative intends to create an ETH-centric Layer 2 that prioritizes scaling and protocol robustness, with sustained support for open-source software and measured funding channels to back long-term ecosystem growth.
