EDITOR’S NOTE: Last chance to set your alarms for today’s Sequencer Livestream—trust us, you don’t want to miss the Foxish roundup brewing at 11 AM ET 🦊🚀

Linea, the home network to global payment applications like MetaMask Card, will soon be the first Layer-2 (L2) to seamlessly upgrade from Circle’s Bridged USDC Standard to native USDC without any action required from users or developers.

Rewards for MetaMask Card users just got a whole lot juicier and it’s only the beginning. Today we unveil Coinmunity Cashback, a first-of-its-kind dapp empowering any project to distribute tailored rewards to real, verified users—all based on real world spending activity. Built on Linea, this groundbreaking program unlocks a new paradigm where communities shape the future of financial incentives.

EDITOR’S PARTY NOTE: If you haven’t yet, the window of opportunity is closing to register for Linea’s After Dark party in Denver next week. Not to be missed. On to the news…

Throughout this crypto cycle, meme coins have been a prime attractor for developers, communities, and the crypto-curious. The excitement is undeniable, and for Linea, we’re committed to supporting communities that exemplify creativity, engagement, and innovation. That’s why we’re introducing the Linea Meme Manifesto. By following these guidelines, teams can build memes that matter and engage with Linea to get support.

Note: TOAD AI is a community project on Linea, supported by Ape Accelerator.

This week on Linea was big as we welcomed Aave and the full power of defi to the network. Cashback rewards started flowing to MetaMask Card users, ENS shared the future of rollups and devs kept cooking. Here’s a quick run down in this print version of the weekly Sequencer:

AI Agents and specifically AI crypto agents are on the rise and making their way to Linea. Now it's your turn to contribute and build your own version of AI on the world’s home network. We'll be offering hackathons on this subject throughout the year, starting with the hackathon we're organizing with Safe from February 3 to 14.

$TRUMP may be the memecoin to end all memecoins, or it may be the meme to create a new fusion of politics, culture and economics. It’s impossible to know, but whatever happens you can now enjoy the ride on Linea.
