Announced on Sept. 2, the Ignition rewards program will distribute 1 billion LINEA tokens as incentives to boost total value locked (TVL). Rewards are tracked and verified using Brevis zero-knowledge proof technology, ensuring secure and transparent payouts.
Accelerating Linea’s TVL growth
Backed by the Linea Consortium, Ignition is designed to drive TVL expansion across DeFi protocols on the network. The program targets over $1 billion in TVL before concluding on Oct. 26. After weeks of closed beta testing, the rewards system is now live for all liquidity providers.
Participants can earn LINEA tokens by supplying liquidity to key pools on Aave, Euler, and Etherex. The incentives aim to ease market pressure and promote efficient liquidity across the ecosystem.
For example, Etherex boosts payouts during volatile periods by rewarding liquidity providers based on slippage and swap volume. On Aave and Euler, incentives are designed to encourage deposits in underutilized pools, with rewards calculated using time-weighted vault shares and adaptive mechanisms.
Secure rewards with Brevis ZK-proofs
All Ignition calculations are validated through Brevis’ ZK Coprocessor and Pico ZKVM, ensuring transparency, decentralization, and protection against tampering or centralized control. The official campaign site publishes weekly reward updates, and users can connect their wallets to track progress in real time.
Rewards remain locked until Oct. 27. At that point, 40% of earned tokens become claimable immediately, while the remaining 60% will unlock gradually over the following 45 days.
The Ignition rollout comes on the heels of several major token-related milestones for Linea this summer. A July snapshot identified more than 780,000 wallets eligible to share 7.2 billion tokens in an ecosystem airdrop. In late August, pre-market trading opened, and Linea’s token generation event is expected in September.
