MEXC hosted an insightful AMA with Liz Basurto, Head of Business Development at Linea, diving into the on-chain scaling capabilities of ZK EVM and the network’s unique approach to Ethereum equivalence. Liz shared her experience with Linea, emphasizing how Linea’s team of industry veterans is building a Layer 2 solution from the ground up without shortcuts.
During the session, Liz highlighted what sets Linea apart from other Layer 2 networks:
- Ethereum equivalence, allowing developers to leverage existing Solidity knowledge
- No separate gas token, using ETH for gas and maintaining mainnet security
- Finality over optimism, offering instant settlement ideal for institutional use
- Low gas fees through aggregated transaction posting
The AMA explored Linea’s mission and tokenomics. The network has a capped supply of 72 billion tokens, with 85% allocated to ecosystem growth. Its token is utility-focused, designed to support network expansion rather than governance. A burn mechanism permanently removes a portion of fees to enhance value, while the Linea Consortium, a nonprofit entity, manages the ecosystem and supports Ethereum-aligned projects.
Liz also discussed use cases and partnerships. Linea collaborates with Maple Finance, Charpling Gaming, and Mastercard, providing institutional-grade solutions and on-chain financial tools. She further previewed upcoming features, including native staking integration with Lido, allowing Ethereum staking rewards to be earned directly on Layer 2.
Closing the AMA, Liz reflected on Linea’s broader vision: expanding Ethereum’s ecosystem, fostering accessibility for both sophisticated investors and underbanked users worldwide, and delivering real-world financial solutions.
