Ethereum to the next power: Introducing Exponent, the new L2 growth engine
We’ve been saying for a few months now that Linea is the L2 where Ethereum wins and ETH capital grows, which is an exciting mission to realize on its own, but it also means pushing the entire L2 landscape into a new era of sustainability. Linea hopes to lead the way in becoming, as Declan Fox recently put it: “a real, self-funding economy.”
To accelerate this mission and reward the next generation of foundational dapps, we are excited to introduce Linea Exponent.
Linea Exponent is a 3-month growth program designed to permissionlessly reward the apps that scale the fastest and bring the most users into the ecosystem. From November 04, 2025, to January 30, 2026, developers around the world will launch and scale the most impactful apps and tokens on Linea.
Linea Exponent launches with dual burn system, aiming for $0.02 recovery in November 2025 per 99bitcoins analysis
solid push for L2 growth, tracking volumes closely as apps scale through Jan 2026
programs like this often spark real ecosystem growth - reminds me of how early DeFi incentives kicked off the 2020 boom. could be a smart play for Linea to attract builders and capital
