## Limitations

- Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
- Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
- No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.
- Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
- The research score is relative to this coin's own theme only. It is not comparable across themes and is not an entry signal.

## FAQs

### What is Linea (LINEA)?

Linea is a Layer 2 cryptocurrency tracked here by price, market capitalisation and strength against Bitcoin, with on-chain activity from chain. It is one of 48 Layer 2 coins on this site. Readings are as of 2026-08-14.

### What is the market cap of Linea?

Linea's market capitalisation is $60.1M, ranking it 394 in the top-1,000 crypto universe. That figure is a dated snapshot from 2026-07-04, refreshed separately from the daily price series, so it can lag the price shown above.

### Is Linea beating Bitcoin?

Linea is -19.9% against Bitcoin over 90 days, and its own theme, Layer 2, is -14.8% over 13 weeks. It trades below its 200-day average as of 2026-08-14.

### Does Linea have a P/E ratio?

No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.

### What is Linea's research score?

50.4/100 within Layer 2, ranked 10 of 33 rated Layer 2 coins, on 100% evidence: 6.1 + 13.7 + 17.6 + 13.0 = 50.4. It is labelled “Mixed · market gate closed”. The score ranks research attention inside one theme, never portfolio action.

### How much Linea history does this page show?

Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics Linea actually publishes. Here that is network fees, protocol revenue, total value locked, active addresses, transactions.

### Does Linea generate network fees?

Linea's trailing twelve-month network fees is $3.2M, down 34.8% on the year-earlier period. Network activity is not token-holder earnings: whether it accrues to the token depends on the protocol's own burn, buyback and distribution rules.
