Don't remind me again today

Recently, many people have been asking about the token model of Linea, so today I will break down the core data.



First, let's talk about the total supply: the total issuance of LINEA is 72 billion tokens, with 17.8 billion tokens currently circulating in the market, and the remaining 54.1 billion tokens are still locked. The majority of these unlocked portions are reserved for ecological construction.

The key point is here - the unlocking rhythm for the next two years:
From October 2025 to October 2027, 1 billion coins will be released each month, which is about 6% of the current circulation. By calculating, the circulating supply will increase directly from the current 17.8 billion to 41.8 billion by October 2027, which indeed poses significant supply pressure.

What about after 27 years? The unlocking speed will significantly slow down, dropping to around 300 million coins per month, then decreasing year by year, until it is completely unlocked in 2037.

However, Linea has a highlight: it is one of the few Ethereum Layer 2 projects that actively engages in buybacks and burns.
According to on-chain data, the funds used for burning each day range from $10,000 to $15,000, which translates to approximately 800,000 tokens being burned in a single day, totaling around 24 million tokens burned in a month. This deflationary mechanism can partially offset the selling pressure brought about by unlocking.

Overall, if you are optimistic about the ecological development of Linea, this Token economic model is relatively transparent. However, there is short-term unlocking pressure, and you must weigh the risks and opportunities yourself.

720 billion tokens locked until 2037? How many suckers will it take to hold on until then?

Wait a minute, 54.1 billion tokens to be unlocked? That would scare me to death. The monthly release pressure of 1 billion in the past two years is really unbearable.

5.41 billion coins waiting to be unlocked is indeed unsustainable; starting next October, we will have to see if the burn can keep up.

54.1 billion is locked, and 24 billion will be directly released in two years. This pressure is really unbearable.

That being said, is the lock-up position of 54.1 billion really that optimistic? It feels like we still need to see if the ecosystem can support it. The burning is indeed good, but only 800,000 are burned in a day, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the 1 billion released monthly. Wait, it won't be fully unlocked until 2027, this pace is indeed a bit tough to bear. There is certainly pressure in the short term, but the transparency in this area is still acceptable, depending on the project party's sincerity.
