#linea Main characteristics of the LINEA token:
It is not used for governance or gas fees: Unlike other Layer 2 tokens, LINEA is not used to pay network transaction fees or for governance decisions. Linea's gas fees are paid with ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum.
"Buy and burn" mechanism: The Linea network uses a portion of the revenue generated from transaction fees in ETH to buy LINEA tokens on the market and remove them from circulation (burn). This artificial scarcity mechanism aims to increase demand and the token's value over time.
Ecosystem incentive: The majority of the LINEA token supply is allocated to an ecosystem growth fund, aiming to attract users and developers to the network.
No allocation for private investors: The project stands out by not allocating tokens to venture capital investors or the team, focusing distribution directly on the community.
Distribution via airdrop: The launch included an airdrop (free distribution) of tokens to the first users who participated and contributed to the network. #LINEA
