Rewards for DeFi on Linea and spending with MetaMask Card are producing more wins every day. Right now card holders enjoy boosted yields and discounted borrowing on Aave on Linea; and at the same time get rewards for every card purchase in the form of USDC and Coinmunity tokens back for a total of up to 13% back on all your card transactions.

Let’s break it down:

When you supply liquidity on Aave, get a 2.4% boost on your USDC deposits. If you borrow USDC, you receive a 2.4% discount on the base Aave variable rate. These incentives are limited to $5,000 combined balance per user (supply + borrow). Beyond this threshold, standard Aave rates apply. 

You can claim these boosts via the portal, powered by Brevis, and receive USDC tokens dropped directly to your wallet. In addition, you continue to earn yield on the aUSDC tokens you receive in return for supplying USDC. aUSDC is a spendable token on MetaMask Card that continues earning until the moment you spend it with your card.

When you make those card purchases, you’ll receive 1-3% USDC cashback from Circle (MetaMask Metal Card needed to qualify for 3% USDC Cashback) as well as up to 10% Coinmunity Cashback in the form of DeFi tokens, memecoins, NFTs, and more.

Coinmunity Cashback, which debuted in February on Linea, stands to revolutionize brand engagement as the world's first decentralized, community-driven rewards program, only on Linea. Brands can go beyond paid ads or fuzzy metric campaigns to directly reward KYC-verified MetaMask Card users with real tokens, NFTs and other things we haven’t even thought of yet. This is how we create sustainable communities with rewards that also build user reputations and foster composable connections.

The journey is seamless, making your crypto do more for you:

• Earn: Generate boosted yield on Aave by depositing USDC.

• Tap: Spend your crypto in real life with your MetaMask Card wherever Mastercard is accepted.

• Claim: Easily claim your earned cashback and rewards.

This is just the beginning of an evolution in payments and community rewards on Linea, all unlocked by MetaMask Card, which continues to break down the institutional gates that have long contained saving, spending, lending, and rewards.
