Effortless ETH Staking with Linea's Native Yield

Linea, the Layer 2 Ethereum network founded by blockchain company Consensys, has launched a feature called "Native Yield" that automates the staking of ETH bridged to its network via Lido v3. This innovation aims to improve the current DeFi landscape, which suffers from fragmented incentives that render it ineffective for investors. According to Linea, the difficulty of finding profitable yield opportunities across multiple chains has led to a cycle of short-term gains paired with hidden risks, resulting in an unsustainable environment for ETH holders and DeFi participants. The Native Yield feature will utilize bridged ETH, which often remains idle in wallets, to generate sustainable rewards of 3-5%. This means liquidity providers can earn staking rewards along with DeFi yields without taking additional steps. Furthermore, Linea emphasizes that its staking rewards are rooted in Ethereum's proof-of-stake system, minimizing risks associated with speculative lending and volatile tokens. The announcement reiterated that Linea is not competing with Ethereum but aims to enhance its functionality. Additionally, Linea is committed to burning 20% of all net transaction fees, further promoting Ethereum's deflationary framework. Native Yield is set to launch in the coming months, with the exact date yet to be confirmed. Linea expects that by maximizing the productivity of ETH capital, it will reinforce Ethereum’s economic structure while ensuring full compatibility and security on any Layer 2 platform.
