It was one of the BEST month for the @LineaBuild community packed with milestones that solidified Linea’s position as the ultimate ETH-aligned L2.
We started with ETH & Community-aligned $LINEA tokenomics: no VC/team allocations, built in ETH burn, no extraction. Just pure alignment with Ethereum and Community.
Then came @etherexfi with its revolutionary x(3,3) flywheel, already pushing TVL beyond $100M.
That momentum carried through: Linea TVL exploded to $800M pre-TGE, pushing Linea into the top 4 L2s. ETH hitting ATH only fueled the fire.
The DeFi wave hit hard:
- Integrations from @eulerfinance, @aave, @LidoFinance, @turtledotxyz, @MetaLend_DeFi, @DapDapMeUp, @brevis_zk (verifiable off-chain compute, ML inference, infinite dApp scalability) with apps coming one by one
Then came a bombshell: MetaMask’s native stablecoin $mUSD to be launched on Linea and Ethereum to enable better yield and deepen the liquidity on Linea
- Linea as default chain for MetaMask Card payments, unlocking 2.4% USDC yield through @aave in a few clicks and everyday onchain spending with upto 10% coinmunity cashbacks.
Institutions are circling too: SharpLink Gaming ($SBET) built a $3B ETH Treasury position, with billions more set to bridge into Linea. ETH treasuries = real institutional capital flowing in.
Community wins were Massive:
- LXP → LAM multipliers as onchain SBTs for a transparent airdrop.
- 1% of supply to communities.
- LXP-L fully onchain.
- Sir Joseph Lubin himself quoted my Linea roadmap post 👀
Roadmap alpha kept the hype alive:
- Q3: Burn mechanism (20% ETH, 80% $LINEA).
- Q4: Native ETH staking yield into DeFi incentives (~$1.25M/month if $500M bridged).
- Q1 2026: Type-1 zkEVM for bytecode-level ETH compatibility, faster CEX deposits, Ethereum’s “snarkification” endgame and more bluechip evm dapps deployments.
Governance evolved: the Linea Consortium launched with @Consensys, @sharplink, @eigencloud, @ensdomains, @StatusL2, and more (Ethereum Foundation next?). Plus, 75% of the ecosystem fund dedicated to post-TGE growth.
In a groundbreaking move, U.S. Government macroeconomic data (GDP, PCE, etc.) is gonna be onchain via Chainlink, with Linea as one of 10 founding networks.
Infra & UX kept leveling up: NodeHub, SpellWallet, and fresh rewards campaigns kept momentum pumping.
Events like "SomETHing about Linea" spaces with Joseph Lubin, Declan Fox, and guests from EigenLayer kept the community buzzing, while getting started on Linea became completely free for newcomers.
As we edge closer to TGE in September (checker incoming!), I'd like to congratulate @ethereumJoseph@DeclanFox14, @EricCMack, @Alain_Ncls, @suzapolooza_eth, @lizbazurto, and @enDAOed for steering us here. Your vision has turned Linea into Ethereum's execution layer powerhouse and The best Chain for Institutional Capital with even more improvements and "Cylinders" coming.
The BIGGEST month is ahead, trust the process, believe in somETHing, and let's keep building.
Retweet if you're all in on Linea.

@btcmonie@DeclanFox14@LineaBuild Setting the threshold for LXPs above 2500, including activity, will exclude many professional addresses of studios. Greatly purifying the community environment and increasing its visibility
150 LXPs again? uh yes please.
Linea OG Rush is here with @AcrossProtocol@MendiFinance and @LynexFi!
Explore the new additions to the Linea Ecosystem & complete onchain tasks to WIN 150 LXP! 🤩
