In this article I will guide you through all the necessary steps to stand a strong chance of a potential token airdrop. We are still in the early stages of this promising project — the best time to engage is now!
What is Linea and Why Should You Care?
Linea (ConsenSys zkEVM) is a cutting-edge type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine developed by Consensys, the team behind the popular MetaMask wallet and Infura. With Linea, users can benefit from the security and trust of Ethereum while enjoying lower transaction costs.
On 28th March 2023, Linea rolled out its public testnet, granting developers and users alike the opportunity to explore the testnet.
Linea on Twitter: "✨https://t.co/cLF0CzBri0 testnet in the @MetaMask extension has now rolled out to 100% of Chrome users ????In the next 2 weeks: ????100% roll-out on Firefox and Edge????Mobile in the next mobile release v6.3 / Twitter"

The Layer 2 ecosystem of Ethereum is witnessing increased competition, with Matter Labs launching its zkEVM solution on March 24 and Polygon’s beta launch of its zkEVM on March 27, 2023. Linea also competes with Coinbase’s new Layer 2, Base, and Scroll’s upcoming zkEVM.
The Mystery of the Linea Token
Linea Token: A Myth or a Reality? As of now, there is no mention of a Linea token in their official documentation. According to a ConsenSys blog post on 13th December 2022, it is too early to discuss the launch of a Linea token. However, they have expressed their intention to reward users who help test and improve Linea. Given the attention and funding they have attracted, it’s highly likely that they will launch a token and conduct an airdrop in the future.
