Linea Airdrop

🌐 What Is Linea?

🎁 Airdrop Overview

✅ Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the airdrop, users must have:

LINEA: The Drop

The first LINEA airdrop for early community members is designed to reward real usage and contributions, aiming to put tokens directly into the wallets of users to foster decentralization. Central to this distribution is participation in the Linea Voyage (LXP) and Linea Surge (LXP-L) campaigns, which served as our transparent system for recognizing engagement. To ensure tokens reach authentic users who had early conviction in the network and to filter out sybil attacks, eligibility required meeting activity thresholds and successfully passing Proof-of-Humanity (PoH).

In total, 9,361,298,700 LINEA has been allocated, to be shared among 749,662 eligible addresses.

LXP participants need at least 2,000 LXP to qualify. The distribution is centered on LXP as a simple and transparent measure of participation. The minimum LXP threshold was set because analysis provided by Nansen showed a heavy concentration of sybil activity below this level.

Tiers: LXP holders are split into seven tiers, with each tier receiving incrementally more LINEA to recognize their increasing participation and contribution. Within each tier, distribution is linear. For example, someone with 5,500 LXP earns more than someone with 5,300 LXP. The tier buckets act as a flat multiplier applied to the linear LXP points, combining fairness with simplicity.

• 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 were created to recognize different kinds of participation across the ecosystem.

There are three boosts, each adding a 10% lift :

1. Usage before the Dencun upgrade: For those who transacted on Linea Mainnet between its launch and March 27, 2024.
2. Sustained Activity: For those who transacted on Linea Mainnet in six separate months between August 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. These months could fall anywhere within that period and did not need to be consecutive.
3. MetaMask Product Usage: For those who used MetaMask Swaps or Bridging on Linea, or who used MetaMask Staking or the MetaMask Card anytime before June 30, 2025. A single interaction with any of these unlocked the 10% boost. The boost did not stack, the same 10% applied whether one or all four were used.

In cases when an eligible address met the conditions for a boost, it was applied to the LXP balance to calculate final LXP points. Those points determine the final tier, and the tier multiplier shapes final LINEA allocation.

Boosts were meant to give people a lift for the different ways they participated, whether that was early activity, sustained engagement, or trying MetaMask features. They enabled some to move into a higher tier, while also increasing the LINEA earned within a tier for others.

Example: A person who finished with 4,900 LXP would have fallen just short of Tier 5, which started at 5,000. With two boosts (1.2x total), their balance increased to 5,880, moving them into Tier 5 and unlocking the larger multiplier.

Another person ended with 3,200 LXP and received one boost (1.1x), bringing their total to 3,520. That wasn’t enough to reach the next tier, but it still increased the amount of LINEA they received within Tier 2. Since LINEA distribution increases linearly within each tier, they benefited from the boost even without changing tiers.

LXP-L participants need at least 15,000 LXP-L to qualify. A minimum threshold was applied to LXP-L to avoid negligible "dust" distributions. The distribution for LXP-L holders is linear, as the nature of Total Value Locked (TVL) is inherently more resistant to sybil attacks.For this reason, there are no maximum caps on LINEA, keeping the process transparent and allowing liquidity providers to concentrate their activity in one address rather than spreading it across multiple addresses.

LXP and LXP-L were designed to recognize different kinds of contribution within the community -. LXP focused on onchain participation, with PoH helping ensure tokens went to real users. LXP-L, in contrast, was designed to engage liquidity providers during the Linea Surge.

Builder Airdrop: A separate allocation of 1% of LINEA token supply is reserved for strategic builders across the Linea ecosystem, including core applications and communities. These tokens are distributed directly to wallets through a discretionary, curated process that prioritizes long-term alignment and protocol-level impact. Allocations may be based on future milestones and are not part of the user claim process.

LINEA: The Checker

The Linea airdrop is distributed by the Linea Association. The checker went live on September 3, 2025, allowing you to confirm your eligibility in advance of the claim period.

The claim window officially opens on September 10, 2025, and will remain open until December 9, 23:59 UTC 2025, a period of 90 days. The countdown begins when claims go live, not when you connect your wallet.

Any tokens not claimed by the deadline will be returned to the Linea Consortium Ecosystem Fund and reinvested into the Linea and Ethereum ecosystems.
