Linea is now live on CryptMeUp with ETH, USDC, and USDT, adding another Ethereum-aligned payment route to the product.
Linea is now active on CryptMeUp
We have now added Linea as a live chain in the product, together with the first three Linea assets: ETH, USDC, and USDT.
That gives CryptMeUp another Ethereum-aligned payment route that feels familiar to EVM users, but still keeps the payment experience lighter than ordinary mainnet-first settlement.
Why Linea belongs in the mix
Linea fits the product because it extends the same broad wallet and smart contract logic into another serious low-friction environment.
That matters for us. We do not want every new chain to create a new product personality. We want additions that make the payment surface wider without making the user experience stranger.
The first Linea set stays practical
We launched Linea with ETH, USDC, and USDT.
That is the right opening set. Native ETH keeps the direct payment path simple. USDC and USDT give the chain commercial usefulness immediately for users who want stable-value checkout. It is focused, but it is not thin.
Why native ETH matters first
ETH is native on Linea, so it is the cleanest payment route the chain can offer.
No approval step is needed for the native path. That keeps the payment experience easier to explain, easier to complete, and much closer to what users already expect when they see an Ethereum-aligned network.
Stablecoins make the chain easier to use in real checkout
USDC and USDT are what make the chain much easier to justify for merchants and normal payers.
Stablecoins reduce the mental gap between fiat pricing and crypto settlement. If a merchant wants to show a clear amount and a payer wants to send something that feels stable, these assets make that much easier immediately.
The flow stays consistent on purpose
This part is important. Native ETH on Linea follows the direct payment path. USDC and USDT follow the same Approve -> Pay token flow we already use on the other supported EVM chains.
That means the chain expands the product without making the payment model harder to learn.
The contract model stays in the same family
Linea gets its own v1 payment contract, but the settlement logic stays consistent with the rest of the EVM footprint.
The payer sends the total amount. The contract calculates the fixed 0.1% fee internally. 99.9% goes to the merchant wallet and 0.1% goes to the fee wallet. That is exactly the kind of deterministic onchain rule we want to keep using as the product grows.
Why this is good growth for the product
Another live EVM chain is not just another badge in the interface.
It proves again that the reusable wallet flow, the contract family, and the verification layer can keep scaling across more than one environment. That is the kind of growth that actually makes the product stronger instead of just louder.
Linea earns its place
We still want chain additions to feel earned, practical, and easy to explain.
Linea fits that standard. ETH, USDC, and USDT make a clean first asset set, and together they give the chain immediate value inside a payment product. That is exactly why it belongs here now.
