Linea has entered into a strategic partnership with Brevis to launch the Linea Ignition long-term incentive program.

Linea has officially launched its 10-week "Linea Ignition" growth plan, which will distribute 1 billion LINEA tokens to incentivize users to provide liquidity on Etherex, Aave, and Euler. Unlike traditional rewards, all reward calculations in this plan are achieved through Brevis's zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, enabling a fully decentralized, transparent, and trustless verification mechanism. By offloading complex computations to Brevis for off-chain processing, with only the need to verify proofs on-chain, a secure, fair, and scalable protocol incentive paradigm has been established.

Linea Ignition: Injecting Healthy Liquidity for DeFi Growth

Liquidity is the lifeblood of the DeFi ecosystem, and a lack of depth and well-distributed liquidity can lead to increased trade slippage, rising borrowing rates, and protocol stability risks.

Linea Ignition precisely addresses this challenge by incentivizing "effective liquidity":

On Etherex: Rather than rewarding based solely on the amount of liquidity provided, liquidity providers are dynamically incentivized based on the actual trade volume generated by their position (including slippage factors at execution). Market makers providing liquidity in areas of low liquidity or high volatility (where price impact is greatest) will receive higher rewards, thus smoothing liquidity distribution, reducing trade slippage, and enhancing pool resilience to volatility.

On Aave and Euler: Liquidity providers are dynamically rewarded based on time-weighted money market shares, strengthening key lending markets, promoting healthier borrowing capacity, lowering loan rates, and significantly reducing cascading liquidation risks.

Users simply need to provide liquidity to the Linea market via Etherex, Aave, Euler, or Turtle Treasury, without any additional steps, to directly claim rewards through the Linea Ignition platform.

No registration requirements, no hidden steps—real participation for real rewards.

An Incentive Scheme Balancing Scale and Trust

Designing such an incentive scheme faces three core challenges:

· Transparency: Users need to trust that the reward logic is fair and entirely auditable.

· Security: Centralized scripts or opaque servers may introduce manipulation or error risks.

· Scalability: Running these reward calculation formulas directly on-chain would be prohibitively costly and slow.

This is where Brevis comes in. Brevis achieves trustless reward distribution by off-chain computing of all user behaviors—such as trading volume, slippage factor, treasury share—and generating zero-knowledge proofs. This proof can attest to:

· The veracity of the data used in the reward calculation (user liquidity positions, transaction records, etc.) within the blockchain history.

· Strict adherence to the predefined Linea formula for execution.

Subsequently, this proof is validated on-chain by the Linea Ignition contract. Without relying on hidden processes, free from trust, each step is verifiable and transparent.

This Brevis-driven model brings several advantages:

· Incentivize Long-Term Growth: Rewards flow to participants who genuinely enhance liquidity and market health, rather than profit-driven short-term speculators.

· Verifiable and Trustless: Each proof is mathematically secured, ensuring fairness and accountability.

· Efficient and Low-Cost: Complex computations can operate at scale off-chain, while succinct proofs keep on-chain costs minimal.

· Flexible Transparency: Linea can transparently adjust allocation logic through governance, visible to users throughout.

Future Outlook

Linea Ignition is just a start; within the initial 10-week roadmap, the collaboration between Linea and Brevis will showcase a novel incentive mechanism—transparent, decentralized, and safeguarded by zero-knowledge proofs.

More importantly, what comes next. By pioneering this model, Linea is setting a new standard for sustainable growth across the entire blockchain ecosystem. Brevis is honored to be the ZK engine behind this trajectory and looks forward to deepening collaboration with Linea, exploring further applications of trust-minimized computation and scalable proofs to unlock new possibilities in DeFi.

We are not only driving Linea's growth, but also shaping the future of decentralization and verifiable finance together.
