Linea the Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Consensys has officially announced its long-awaited airdrop of the LINEA token. The claim period begins on September 10, 2025, at 16:00 UTC, and will run for 90 days until December 9, 2025.
Token Distribution
The Linea airdrop is designed to reward real network activity and early participation:
- 85% of the total LINEA supply is allocated to the community.
- 10% goes to early users, fully unlocked at claim.
- 75% is dedicated to ecosystem growth through the Ecosystem Fund.
- 15% is retained by Consensys with a five-year lock, reflecting a long-term commitment.
- No team or investor allocations are part of this airdrop, ensuring transparency.
In total, 9.361 billion LINEA tokens will be distributed across 749,662 eligible addresses. Eligibility is determined through the Linea Voyage (LXP) and Linea Surge (LXP-L) campaigns.
Eligibility Thresholds
- LXP Participants: Minimum of 2,000 LXP points required.
- LXP-L Participants: Minimum of 15,000 LXP-L required.
- Seven-tier reward system: Higher engagement means higher multipliers.
- Boosts: Additional rewards are available for early usage before the Dencun upgrade, sustained activity on Linea Mainnet, or MetaMask product usage.
Tier System
The airdrop is structured around seven tiers, designed to fairly reward different levels of participation. Each tier has a minimum LXP threshold, and rewards increase progressively. Within each tier, distribution is linear, meaning that users with higher balances within the same tier receive more tokens.
- Tier 1: 2,000 LXP
- Tier 2: 3,000 LXP
- Tier 3: 4,000 LXP
- Tier 4: 4,500 LXP
- Tier 5: 5,000 LXP
- Tier 6: 6,500 LXP
- Tier 7: 8,000+ LXP
Boosts can also move participants into higher tiers, giving them access to larger multipliers and higher LINEA rewards.
LAM Token
Alongside the LINEA distribution, Linea has also introduced LAM, a complementary token designed to support ecosystem incentives. LAM tokens were sent to participant wallets together with LXP-L rewards. While the LINEA token serves as the primary coordination and utility asset for the network, LAM plays a role in strengthening liquidity programs and experimental incentive structures inside the ecosystem. Its exact use cases will evolve as the Linea ecosystem expands, but it represents an additional reward stream for active community members.
Airdrop Claim Timeframe
- Start: September 10, 2025, 15:00 UTC
- End: December 9, 2025, 23:59 UTC
- Claims can be checked and made directly through the Linea Hub.
- Unclaimed tokens after the deadline will be redirected back to the Linea Ecosystem Fund.
The Linea airdrop highlights the project’s focus on decentralization, fairness, and long-term alignment with Ethereum’s growth.
Conclusion
The Linea community has been waiting for this moment for a long time, after completing countless activities and campaigns. The airdrop represents not only a reward for early adopters but also a signal of how seriously Linea approaches community growth. This distribution model may significantly reshape the L2 blockchain segment and set new standards for fairness and transparency.
As always, remember to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before making any decisions with your rewards.
