- Linea, a ConsenSys Layer 2 solution, launched the Linea Ignition program to boost TVL beyond $1 billion by distributing 1 billion LINEA tokens to liquidity providers (LPs) on Aave, Euler, and Etherex.

- The 15-month initiative uses Brevis' ZK technology for transparent reward calculations, with 40% of rewards unlocked on October 27, 2025, and the remaining 60% distributed over 45 days.

- Incentives prioritize underutilized pools and market volatility periods, aiming to balance liquidity while supporting Linea's Native Yield mechanism and expanding DeFi participation through platforms like Turtle.

- This follows Linea's summer ecosystem airdrop and token pre-market trading, positioning the network as a competitive Layer 2 solution through real-time incentive alignment with market conditions.

Linea, a Layer 2 solution developed under ConsenSys, has officially launched the Linea Ignition program, an incentive initiative aimed at boosting liquidity and increasing the total value locked (TVL) on its network. The program is designed to reward liquidity providers (LPs) who contribute to key DeFi protocols such as

Aave
, Euler, and Etherex. With the goal of driving TVL growth beyond $1 billion, Linea will distribute 1 billion LINEA tokens from its ecosystem fund over the course of the initiative, which is set to run until October 26, 2025 [1].

The Linea Ignition program was announced by the Linea team on September 2, 2025, after undergoing several weeks of private beta testing with a limited group of LPs [3]. It is backed by the Linea Consortium and aims to support the platform’s upcoming Native Yield mechanism. The program is part of a broader strategy to enhance DeFi activity on Linea, with incentives structured to reward liquidity provision during market volatility and periods of price discovery. For instance, Etherex pools allocate rewards based on swap volume and slippage, encouraging participation during times of high market stress [1].

To ensure transparency and decentralization, the program leverages Brevis’ zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology. The ZK Coprocessor and Pico ZKVM are used to compute and verify all reward calculations, ensuring that no centralized authority can manipulate payouts [1]. Rewards are updated weekly and can be viewed or claimed through the official campaign website, though they remain locked until October 27. On that date, 40% of the rewards will be unlocked, with the remaining 60% distributed linearly over the next 45 days [1].

The incentive structure varies across platforms. On Aave and Euler, rewards are determined by time-weighted average TVL and adaptive incentives, with higher rewards offered for liquidity in underutilized pools [1]. This approach is intended to promote balanced liquidity across the network and encourage participation in less active markets. The program also supports future access to liquidity pools through platforms like Turtle, further expanding the range of participation opportunities for LPs [1].

The launch of Linea Ignition follows a series of strategic moves by the Linea team this summer, including the completion of an ecosystem airdrop with over 780,000 qualifying wallets and the commencement of pre-market trading for its native token. The initiative marks a significant step in Linea’s efforts to strengthen its DeFi infrastructure and expand its user base. By aligning incentives with real-time market conditions, Linea is positioning itself as a competitive and adaptive Layer 2 network [3].
