DeFi’s original promise was simple: democratize finance and let capital flow freely. But somewhere along the way, incentives broke. The industry turned into a game of musical chairs—hunting for short-term APR spikes, chasing points, and hopping across chains.

That’s not sustainable. And Linea is fixing it.

The Problem: DeFi’s Broken Incentive Model

Today’s DeFi yields are more smoke than fire.

  • Points disappear overnight.

  • Liquidity constantly migrates.

  • Unsophisticated users get left holding the bag.

The result? ETH capital sits idle, waiting for the next farming season, while true long-term value creation stalls.

Linea’s answer: Native Yield.

The Solution: Native Yield on Linea

Starting soon, every ETH bridged to Linea will automatically earn Ethereum-native staking yield via Lido v3—with zero extra steps.

What this means for you:

  • Bridged ETH = Staked ETH. It earns Lido yield automatically.

  • Dual rewards. Liquidity providers get both staking yield and DeFi yield.

  • No friction. No extra custody risks, contracts, or headaches.

  • Instant withdrawals. A protocol-level liquidity buffer ensures fast exits.

  • Maximum security. Non-custodial, permissionless, and sourced directly from ETH staking—not lending.

“With Native Yield, ETH deposited to Linea transforms from passive collateral into a productive asset, generating sustainable returns and supporting ecosystem growth.” — Declan Fox, Head of Linea

Why Linea is Now the Most Capital-Efficient Chain

For Institutions

  • Risk-adjusted returns on ETH with institutional-grade transparency.

  • ETH treasuries can deploy capital confidently—earning staking rewards while boosting ecosystem liquidity.

For Liquidity Providers

  • No more chasing points across chains.

  • Every ETH works for you the moment it’s bridged.

  • Sustainable rewards aligned with Ethereum’s long-term vision.

When Native Yield Meets ETH Burn

Linea isn’t trying to outcompete Ethereum—it’s amplifying it.

  • 20% of all net transaction fees on Linea will be burned in ETH.

  • More ETH staked = more rewards for LPs.

  • More activity = more ETH burned.

  • More capital = stronger ecosystem.

This is Ethereum’s deflationary design on steroids.

The Big Picture

Ethereum is programmable money.

Linea is turning that money into productive money.

Native Yield is a new standard for L2s:

  • Capital efficiency. ETH isn’t just sitting there—it’s working for you.

  • Composability. Rewards flow seamlessly into DeFi strategies.

  • Alignment. Every action on Linea strengthens Ethereum’s core economics.

We’re building somETHing powerful.

Next Steps

Native Yield isn’t live yet—but the race for capital efficiency has already started. If you’re an ETH holder or DeFi strategist, it’s time to get ahead of this curve.
