For too long, crypto ecosystems have relied on "renting" liquidity through aggressive, short-term incentives. This costly strategy dilutes treasuries and attracts mercenary capital that migrates the moment rewards run dry.

Linea is turning the page and moving beyond this unsustainable status quo. To transition from temporary incentives to long-term stability, we will soon be turning on Linea Yield Boost (formerly Linea Native Yield) and begin staking ETH bridged to Linea.

Most of the ETH on Linea will be staked on Ethereum Mainnet using our partner solution, Lido V3. This process puts the underlying assets to work at the bridge level, making them productive and refining an important source of fuel for Linea’s DeFi ecosystem. The bridging interface and experience remain unchanged for the end user. 

The process begins with a test period to validate the staking and withdrawal cycle before committing significant capital. Testing will start in early April.

More information is coming soon. Meanwhile, Linea’s terms of services are changing. Please take a second to review them here. They will take effect on March 28.
