Why is @Linea.eth called the "Web Weaver"? Because it never fights alone, but instead plays "cooperation" to perfection: from oracles to cross-chain, from identity verification to institutional compliance, from Meme communities to traditional financial giants, almost every step forward stands on the shoulders of partners. In the years 2024-2025, the TVL of $LINEA surged from hundreds of millions to over ten billion dollars, with millions of users and over 500 dApps, and all of this is the chemical reaction brought about by cooperation. 1. Infrastructure-level "staunch allies": Chainlink is the "soul mate" of Linea, and the collaboration between Linea and Chainlink is simply a textbook-level deep binding:

  • Chainlink Data Feeds and CCIP cross-chain protocol have long been online on Linea.

  • In 2025, Chainlink will launch the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) compliance engine, and Linea has been selected as one of the founding networks, along with Ethereum mainnet and Taiko, becoming a standard bearer chain for institutional compliance.

  • Recently, we also put U.S. government macroeconomic data on-chain (yes, that kind of data from the Federal Reserve), making Linea one of the 10 founding chains.
    What does this mean? In the future, if institutions want to engage in DeFi, RWA, or stablecoin issuance, Linea naturally comes with compliance buffs, and Chainlink has equipped it with a 'trust bomb.'

2. Institutional & Real World 'Good Start': SharpLink + MetaMask Card + Aave

  • SharpLink (led by Joseph Lubin's ETH treasury company) announced in 2025 to deploy $200 million worth of ETH to Linea, re-staking through ether.fi and EigenLayer to earn higher returns. This is not just funding; it's the ConsenSys founder personally endorsing Linea.

  • MetaMask Card directly treats Linea as the main battlefield: the card offers up to 10% cash back (supports $FOXY, $ZERO, $CROAK and other ecological tokens), and you can earn Aave yields while spending USDC. It truly realizes 'DeFi yields directly buying coffee.'

  • Aave, ZeroLend, Renzo and other lending/re-staking protocols are deeply integrated, making Linea one of the chains with the highest institutional-level DeFi yields in L2.

3. Identity & Personal Proof: From ENS to Trusta.AI, Sumsub

  • Collaborated with ENS to launch Linea Names (.eth subdomain), giving users a true on-chain identity.

  • In the Proof of Humanity (PoH) system, partners like Trusta.AI, Sumsub, and Verax provide reusable, privacy-protecting KYC/live verification, and gas can be reimbursed after verification.

  • This identity system not only prevents witch hunts but also directly serves airdrops, governance, and social finance.

4. Developer & Ecological Investment Alliance: LEIA (50+ VC tycoons) Linea has established the LEIA investment alliance, with over 50 top VCs (including a16z, Dragonfly, etc.) specifically investing in Linea ecological projects. The first batch invested in 7 projects, including social finance's Tomo, RWA's Inverter, and lending's ZeroLend. Developers coming to Linea basically don't have to worry about money, with technical support + funding + exposure all in one.

  • Brevis zk coprocessor: enables Linea's dApps to perform complex off-chain computations (such as ML inference) while providing on-chain verification.

  • Axelar, LayerZero and other cross-chain bridges are fully connected, allowing assets to flow in and out freely.

  • Recently partnered with Turtle (liquidity distribution protocol) as a Liquidity Partner, the ecological liquidity has taken off.

6. Gaming, Meme, Community Culture: Foxy, eFrogs, Unfettered Linea especially engages with the community:

  • Foxy Linea is the ecological Meme coin ceiling, frequently launching cash back events together with Linea's official account.

  • Community projects like eFrogs, CROAK, and Unfettered Game frequently hold competitions, NFTs, and airdrops.

  • Coinmunity Cashback program: swipe the MetaMask card to earn Meme coins and NFTs, truly understanding the concept of 'spending money = making money.'

Why is the cooperation with #Linea so 'intense'? Because Linea was born with ConsenSys' genes - MetaMask's 400 million users, Infura, Truffle's entire suite is naturally integrated. It's not just an L2, but more like Ethereum's 'gateway chain': institutions want to enter safely? There's Chainlink ACE + SharpLink. Retail investors want to play comfortably? There's low gas + Meme cash back + Foxy Card. Developers want to take off quickly? There's LEIA + the full suite of tools. In Q1 2025, the $LINEA token TGE is imminent, with 85% of tokens allocated to the ecosystem (10% for early airdrops, 75% for future incentives/funds), plus native ETH yields and protocol-level destruction mechanisms... Once this cooperation matrix ignites, Linea is likely to be the first to break into the top three of L2 among the 'zkEVM four dragons.' In short, Linea is not going solo but is 'weaving a net' to bring the best things in the Ethereum ecosystem together for play. Following it, you basically won't hit a pitfall but will stumble upon easter eggs. Which collaboration of Linea do you look forward to the most? Feel free to leave a comment and chat together ~
