What is Linea? 🤔
Linea is a secondary layer for the Ethereum network, a.k.a a Layer 2. Transactions are done in Ethereum, but at an extremely reduced cost compared to the primary Ethereum mainnet.
Linea provides a comprehensive layer on top of Ethereum where DApps (decentralized applications) discover all they require to develop, expand, and prosper. From reshaping the decentralized financial landscape to redefining gaming, democratizing social media, and beyond, DApps represent the future of the internet, poised to revolutionize digital experiences for all around the world.
Linea serves as the secure zkEVM ecosystem, offering the ideal environment for DApps to flourish and reach their full potential. Because of its technology and cheap transactions, decentralized applications have the chance to go mainstream and get wide adoption.
One important thing about Linea is the fact it raised a huge amount of capital. Not only is this L2 extremely robust, but is expected to have a major airdrop (possibly $10,000+) for everyone interacting with the network extensively. Linea has raised an astounding $700 Million through several funding rounds. Which eclipses most other raises within crypto by far. In comparison, Solana, the third biggest network in crypto, raised roughly half of that.
So not only is there a chance to discover a powerful Layer 2 with great projects, but potentially get a big reward for interacting with it AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Let’s talk about how to start with the Airdrop. 🪂
Linea just launched their Point system, which rewards users who engage with the network as well as partake in DEFI. For example, providing liquidity within the network. Many speculate that gaining points is an important part of their airdrop criterial.
To get started with the point system, join using the invite link below.
It’s currently closed and for early users only, but you are able to join using an invite from early users. Luckily, we have one ready for you.
When joining, it will ask you to sign in using your wallet. There are several options, but we use Metamask. Keep in mind that this will bind your selected wallet account with the points account. So all further actions you take on Linea, should be done with the same wallet.
Most, if not all of the applications on Linea function with Metamask 🦊, hence why we went this wallet. Keep in mind, it’s a good idea to use a secondary sub-account wallet within Metamask for airdrop and new application interaction. Just to add some additional security to your Web3 adventure. If you are new to decentralized wallets and want to learn more about them, read our guide here.
Our strategy to gain points & an airdrop!
After joining using the above invite, check out the Linea ecosystem here: https://linea.build/apps.
Interact with various defi DApps on the Linea mainnet using the wallet you signed up for the point system with.
Some DApps we are interacting with regularly include Syncswap for providing liquidity. And logx for perpetual trading. Both of which don’t have their own token yet either, which can lead to double/triple airdrop benefits over the long term.
We will also be testing and playing around with some of the Web 3 games and social applications utilizing Linea.
For Linea NFTs, we use Element Market. Here, we are buying verified collections with a blue checkmark and an active Twitter community.
⭐ New: One new additional Linea program we just joined is the Turtle Club. Turtle Club is a liquidity enhancement protocol integrating with Linea (basically a platform to make Linea transactions smoother). Before taking part in the Linea ecosystem, it may be wise to also join the Turtle Club using the same Metamask Wallet you are using with all other Linea applications. This may get you “Turtle Club Points” and additional airdrop benefits. Use the link below to join the Turtle Club. 👇
