Linea Launches Token Burn Mechanism for ETH and LINEA via Gas Fees

Linea has implemented a synchronized burn process for ETH and LINEA using all transaction fees since its token generation event, enhancing a dual-token deflationary supply model.

ETH

Summary

Linea officially activated its token burn mechanism using 100% of transaction fees accumulated since its September 11 Token Generation Event. According to the company’s statement, 20% of these fees are burned directly as ETH, while 80% are converted into LINEA tokens and subsequently burned on the Ethereum mainnet. This synchronized burn model removes both ETH and LINEA from circulation, creating a dual deflationary effect. The move represents a significant evolution in Linea’s tokenomics strategy by linking network activity directly to supply reduction.
