Linea Boosts Growth with Brevis ZK-Powered Linea Ignition Program

[read_meter]

TL;DR

Linea has launched Linea Ignition, a 10-week growth program distributing 1 billion LINEA tokens to incentivize liquidity provision across Etherex, Aave, and Euler. What makes it different? Every reward calculation is fully decentralized, transparent, and trustless—thanks to Brevis’s zero-knowledge proof technology. By offloading the complex computations to Brevis and bringing back only the verifiable proofs on-chain, Linea Ignition is working together with Brevis to help set a new standard for fair, scalable, and secure protocol incentives.

Linea Ignition: Fueling Healthy Liquidity for DeFi Growth

Liquidity is the lifeblood of any DeFi ecosystem. Without deep, well-placed liquidity, traders face slippage, borrowers pay higher interest rates, and protocols risk instability.

Linea Ignition tackles this head-on by incentivizing “useful liquidity” where it’s needed most:

  • On Etherex: Instead of just rewarding the raw amount of liquidity provided, Ignition rewards LPs based on the actual swap volume generated by their positions, factoring in swap slippage at execution. LPs who provide liquidity in thin or volatile regions—where price impact is the greatest—will earn more rewards. This helps smooth liquidity distribution, reduces slippage for traders, and makes pools more resilient during volatility.
  • On Aave and Euler: Ignition strengthens critical lending markets by dynamically rewarding LPs based on their time-weighted vault share. This helps promote healthier borrowing capacity, lowers borrowing rates, and makes liquidation cascades much less likely to occur.

For users, the experience is seamless:

  1. Provide liquidity to Linea markets on Etherex, Aave, Euler, or through Turtle vaults.
  2. Claim rewards directly via the Linea Ignition platform.

No opt-ins. No hidden steps. Just real rewards for real participation.

Scaling Incentives Without Sacrificing Trust

Designing a program of this scale raises three critical challenges:

  • Transparency: Users need to trust that the reward logic is fair and fully auditable.
  • Security: Centralized scripts or opaque servers introduce risks of manipulation or error.
  • Scalability: Running these reward formulas directly on-chain would be prohibitively expensive and slow.

This is where Brevis comes in.

Brevis enables trustless reward distribution by computing all user activity off-chain—swap volumes, slippage factors, vault shares—then generating a zero-knowledge proof that attests:

  1. The data used to calculate the rewards (the user’s liquidity positions, trades, etc.) really exist in the blockchain history.
  2. The reward calculation uses Linea’s predefined formulas.

This proof is then verified on-chain by Linea Ignition’s contracts. Nothing relies on hidden processes. Nothing requires trust. Every step is verifiable and transparent.

This Brevis-powered model brings several major benefits:

  • It aligns incentives for long-term growth: Rewards flow to participants who genuinely improve liquidity and market health—not mercenaries chasing short-term hype.
  • It’s verifiable and trust-free: Every proof is mathematically guaranteed, ensuring fairness and accountability.
  • It’s scalable and low-cost: Complex computations run off-chain at scale, while succinct proofs keep costs minimal on-chain.
  • It’s flexible and has transparent rules: Linea can transparently adjust distribution logic via governance, with full user visibility.

Looking Ahead

Linea Ignition is just the beginning. Over the initial 10-week program, this collaboration will show how incentives can be reimagined—transparent, decentralized, and ZK-verified.

But the bigger story is what comes next. By pioneering this model, Linea is setting a new benchmark for how entire blockchain ecosystems can grow sustainably. Brevis is proud to be the ZK engine powering this vision, and we look forward to deepening our partnership with Linea to explore even more use cases where trustless computation and scalable proofs unlock new possibilities for DeFi.

Together, we’re not just fueling Linea’s growth—we’re shaping the future of decentralized, verifiable finance.
