Linea, incubated by Consensys, has announced significant protocol upgrades for October 2025, including the burning of ETH and LINEA tokens, aimed at boosting integration with Ethereum and attracting institutional investors.
Linea's Upgrades and Their Impact on Ethereum
The upgrade will implement ETH-native staking and protocol-level ETH burning. These changes aim to strengthen integration with Ethereum and create deflationary mechanisms that could significantly affect the market conditions for both ETH and LINEA.
Linea Ecosystem Development
85% of Linea's token supply will be allocated for ecosystem development, which analysts believe will increase interest from institutional investors in the DeFi sector. Linea plans to define transaction fee burning mechanisms that may induce a deflationary effect and increase token values.
