Executive summary

Linea is an Ethereum L2, built as the best chain for ETH capital. The project is backed by Consensys, and its contributors have extensive experience from building DeFi protocols.

Now, with over $2.3 billion in TVL and growing traction among ecosystem applications, such as Etherex and MetaMask, Linea recognized the need for reliable, continuous, and data-driven stakeholder reporting.

“By partnering with Token Terminal, we’re able to benchmark our performance against the competition in a fair and accurate way. Having a real-time dashboard on Token Terminal is not only a great tool internally, but for the community as well.”

Data Partnership

To ensure accurate and ongoing stakeholder reporting, Linea entered into a Data Partnership with Token Terminal.

The Data Partnership consists of four (4) different parts:

1. Data pipeline

Since Linea is its own L2 blockchain, the first step required Token Terminal to set up a dedicated node infrastructure to enable ongoing extraction of raw data from the chain.

With an operational end-to-end data pipeline, Token Terminal was able to:

1. Calculate L2-specific metrics for Linea, and
2. Initiate listing work for the first batch of applications that operate on the chain.

2. L2 & Ecosystem metrics

As the next step, Token Terminal’s research team transformed the raw blockchain data into standardized financial and usage metrics for the Linea L2 and its application ecosystem. An L2 chain becomes a better business when the applications on top of it succeed.

By integrating with Token Terminal, Linea is able to present the performance of its application ecosystem in a fair & accurate manner against the competition.

3. Discovery and reporting

Once Token Terminal’s research team had calculated both the L2-specific and the application-layer metrics, Linea was listed on the L2 blockchain market sector dashboard, and its ecosystem dashboard was featured on the Discover page.

As a result, developers, users, and investors can now refer to a single source when deciding which L2 to build on & which L2’s applications to use, integrate with, and/or invest in.

For Linea, the dashboards on Token Terminal streamline the reporting to existing and future stakeholders.

4. Data maintenance

Standardized onchain metrics require ongoing maintenance work, especially when the goal is completeness and accuracy.

The maintenance work has only grown in magnitude and importance over the last few years, as more blockchains have improved in performance & evolved from single to multichain and/or multiapplication ecosystems.

A Data Partnership with Token Terminal means that Linea can rely on Token Terminal to manage all future updates to its metrics, and instead direct all focus on growing its onchain business.

Future opportunities

In addition to standardized financial and usage metrics, Linea and Token Terminal are excited to explore opportunities to create custom dashboards with more project and ecosystem-specific metrics.

These dashboards would offer the chain’s stakeholders improved insight into the platform’s features and application-layer activity.

Through its partnership with Token Terminal, Linea turns transparency into a competitive advantage and continues to build trust with its growing community.
