🚨 Linea is about to release coins, but it seems that no one is looking forward to it because its ending is only one word! —— I have communicated with an insider and it is true that Linea is actively preparing to issue coins internally. During the period of 2023-2024, I have repeatedly mentioned @ LineaBuild in my tweets. Among the top 20 revenue generating chains, BASE and Linea are the only two protocols that have not issued coins. Especially in the past six months last year, with growth rates leading all top L2, Linea carries a lot of hope. We look forward to seeing projects with strong financing backgrounds come in and engage in more innovation, but just like the lyrics I heard from the Asian genius "Jiaozuo" yesterday—— What kills people is not setbacks, but expectations. The more you expect it to be big, the bigger it will be for you. Can you roughly sort out some of its sneaky operations in the past two years—— one ️⃣ Starting from the testnet, various tasks were stacked layer by layer, and four levels of NFT tasks were developed. Finally, a final version of the spending mint was added, but it is currently uncertain whether it will be useful. two ️⃣ After the mainnet went online, the gas mechanism was changed to induce DeFi volumes, and POH human authentication was inserted halfway through. It is not guaranteed that it will pass even after spending money. three ️⃣ Game Week and NFT Week are not to mention, forcing players to participate in new activities, many of which require additional fees. Later on, the mechanism was changed, and the LXP weight of early users was directly diluted. If you want to get the same LXP value, you have to invest more costs and spend money to renew your life, otherwise you can only wait for it to be diluted. four ️⃣ Checking witches is even more heavyweight. The official has previously stated that even if the POH is passed, it is considered a real user. When it comes to checking witches, it doesn't matter if you check all of them, which leads to the early users of large-scale KYC being wiped out, and the gas spent in the early stage is basically wasted. Let me say first, I don't hate marketing or rules, but I hate the kind of operation that repeatedly tests human nature as a bargaining chip. Linea's strategy of raising costs, breaking rules, and cleaning up the pace of users has directly killed serious players. Going back to the issue of coins is also a wonderful thing to see in his mother! 1) In 2024, a friend asked about TGE in DC, and the team said Odyssey is coming to an end, you know. 2) In November 2024, Linea announced the establishment of an association and clarified the issuance of coins in Q1 2025. 3) In February 2025, Linea officially announced the postponement of TGE and the need for optimization in technical design, community collaboration, and legal compliance. They stated that they will release token economics as soon as possible. 4) In May 2025, the community once again inquired and the official commitment was "already in the final stage". 5) In July 2025, Linea officially announced the release of token economics at the end of July, stating that the TGE time has not been determined and depends on external factors, but it will not be delayed for too long. That's it. It's not right to say that Linea doesn't have the strength. Behind it is ConsenSys, which has strong financial resources and a natural traffic entry point for MetaMask. But it's just about being able to adapt from events to TGE to public relations, constantly changing every step like a TM grass platform team! I do not deny the true value of Linea. This project has been PUA for so long, compliant and decentralized for so long, cleaned up for so long, and filled with ordinary players' gas bills. In the end, it should and must be a big shot. But I took a look at the little LXP in my hand, and coupled with the decline of MetaMask and the overall mediocrity of L2, I felt it was not very realistic; For early players, obtaining the LXP required for Da Mao may be a luxury to recoup costs. Overall, community, team, operation, ecology, expectations, favorable timing, location, and people seem to be unrelated. Where should the point of expectation be? So, regardless of the future airdrops and coin prices of Linea, in my opinion, it has already been a systematic failure. All operational factors determine that this project has only one outcome: towards death!
