The Linea airdrop is shaping up to be one of the largest in 2025. both in scope and strategy. While over a million addresses earned LXP points, only a portion will meet the final eligibility after strict filtering. So, how many people will actually receive the tokens?
How many addresses are eligible post-filtering?
Initial counts showed over 1.2 million addresses with LXP. However, due to aggressive Sybil filtering conducted in partnership with analytics firms like Nansen, that number has been cut down to about 780.000. Some estimates peg the final eligible count closer to 500.000. depending on minimum thresholds and verification.
What determines airdrop eligibility?
Eligibility isn't just about holding LXP. Linea will use a combination of metrics, including:
LXP and LXP-L balances
On-chain engagement (transaction volume, dApps used)
Frequency and diversity of activity
Proof of Humanity verification
These layers aim to prioritize real users and weed out multi-wallet abuse.
How much of the supply is being airdropped?
Linea has allocated 9% of its 72 billion token supply for the airdrop. While the LXP token itself is non-transferable and has no monetary value, it acts as a point-based qualifier for the actual LINEA token, which will be tradeable post-TGE.
When is the airdrop happening?
The snapshot has already been taken, and Linea plans to announce the TGE at least one week in advance. An official eligibility checker will be launched before the token is distributed to let users confirm their status.
Conclusion
The Linea airdrop will likely reach between 500.000 to 780.000 users—filtered for real engagement, not just wallet count. With a robust reward system and fair distribution goals, Linea's approach could redefine how meaningful participation is rewarded in Layer 2 ecosystems.
