According to official news, Uniswap announced that Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 have been launched on the Linea network, which is a zkEVM L2 scaling network built by Consensys.Linea is now available on the Uniswap Web application and Uniswap API, and support for Uniswap Wallet on iOS and Android is being gradually rolled out.

Aster announced an update to its tokenomics and a restructuring of ecosystem emissions, replacing the previous monthly linear unlocking mechanism with a staking-only emission model.Previously, 78.4 million ASTER (approximately 1% of the maximum supply) were unlocked on a linear schedule each month; after the update, ecosystem tokens will only be released as staking rewards, currently at a rate of 450,000 ASTER per cycle (weekly), equivalent to a monthly release of 1.8 million to 2.25 million ASTER.Aster stated that since the TGE on September 17, 2025, all unlocked ecosystem and community tokens, aside from staking rewards, have remained untouched, and the relevant token holdings can be publicly verified through addresses starting with 0x0A55.

The Ethereum L2 project Linea tweeted that its cryptographic researcher Alexandre Belling announced on Ethproofs that Linea will transition to the RISC-V architecture. The main reason is that each Ethereum hard fork requires a complete rewrite of the constraint module, causing the team to struggle with complexity for a long time instead of pushing for cutting-edge performance. RISC-V only provides 32 registers and about 40 instructions. For the proof system, the tracking range is narrower, can be constructed in real-time, and the prover can immediately start processing proof fragments.In addition, RISC-V has a narrower execution trace and Type-1 compatibility, while retaining zkC (constraint native language), Vortex and Arcane (proof/aggregation stack), and formal verification. Linea stated that this move is highly consistent with the RISC-V roadmap being promoted by the Ethereum Foundation, and more technical details will be announced in a few weeks.

According to market news, the Linea team's main wallet transferred LINEA tokens worth $5.3 million to a new wallet. The transfer occurred about 10 minutes ago. According to historical records, similar transfer operations usually result in a gradual transfer of funds to exchanges.

The ETHGas Foundation disclosed the detailed allocation and lock-up plan for the governance token GWEI, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens, of which:Ecosystem allocation 31%, will undergo a 10-year linear unlock;Investor allocation 27%, includes a 1-year lock-up period (10% unlocked immediately after the period) and a 2-year linear unlock;Team allocation 22%, includes a 1-year lock-up period (10% unlocked immediately after the period) and a 2-year linear unlock;Community allocation 10%, will undergo a 4-year linear unlock; Foundation allocation 8%, unlocked on the first day of launch;Advisor allocation 2%, includes a 1-year lock-up period (10% unlocked immediately after the period) and a 2-year linear unlock.In addition, GWEI distributed through community airdrops will be automatically staked for 30 days at launch to ensure early contributors participate in governance. Holders can choose to lock GWEI for a period ranging from 1 week to 4 years in exchange for veGWEI.

According to the official announcement, Arkham will regularly assess whether to continue maintaining chain integration based on user demand and its importance to the crypto ecosystem.Based on the team's recent review, Arkham will remove support for the Linea blockchain from the Arkham Intel platform on Sunday, January 11.

This is the third time this wallet has transferred funds to the exchange, bringing the total amount of LINEA tokens sent to Binance this month to 4.5 million dollars.

According to Arkham data, at 17:05, 1730 ETH (worth approximately 5.3 million USD) was transferred from Binance to an anonymous address (starting with 0xf746...). Subsequently, that address transferred 1737 ETH to Linea.

Linea announced on the X platform that its token burn mechanism has officially been activated.From now on, the gas fees for each transaction on the Linea chain will proportionally burn ETH and LINEA tokens, thereby reducing the circulating supply and introducing a deflationary model. The official statement indicates that all gas fees will still be paid in ETH and deposited into a dedicated fee contract. After deducting infrastructure expenses, the remaining amount will be entirely used for burning: 20% will be directly burned in the form of ETH, and 80% will be converted into LINEA and burned on the Ethereum mainnet. Additionally, a real-time burn data tracking feature has been launched on-chain to enhance transparency and verifiability.

ChainCatcher news, ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin tweeted that he will launch a new token economy platform and launchpad on Linea. "If we can accelerate the global adoption of prediction markets like Polymarket and MYRIAD, we can bring collective intelligence and market forces into governance and decision-making at all levels of society. Before Futarchy can truly take hold, we need deep liquidity and widespread application of prediction markets. Once this goal is achieved, we can begin to replace the subjective and centralized control of platforms that have rent-seeking and de-platforming power, with more objective market-based decision-making involving a broader range of stakeholders."
