Exponent

Linea Exponent is a 3-month growth program that helps teams deploy apps, prove traction, and launch their tokens on Linea. It permissionlessly rewards the projects that scale the fastest and attract the most users—turning real activity into a high-signal token launch backed by ecosystem-wide visibility, liquidity, and distribution.

From 05 November 2025 to 31 January 2026, developers around the world will launch and scale the most impactful apps and tokens on Linea—the L2 where Ethereum wins.

No judges, pitch decks, or panel votes.

Just your app, your users, and your token — onchain, verified, and rewarded.

Apps are ranked and rewarded based on verified onchain activity and user traction.
