Fund your accounts

Linea uses ETH for network transaction fees. You can fund your account on either Linea Mainnet for real transactions or Linea Sepolia for testing purposes.

Linea Mainnet​

You can buy tokens directly on Linea using MetaMask Portfolio. Alternatively, if you already have tokens on another network, you can bridge them to Linea. For example you can bridge ETH on the Ethereum network over to the Linea network.

info

The MetaMask Portfolio dapp allows you to buy, sell, swap, stake, bridge, and manage your cryptoassets, among other features.

Linea purchases in MetaMask Portfolio are available worldwide.

Buy tokens on Linea Mainnet​

To buy tokens using MetaMask Portfolio:

  1. Access MetaMask Portfolio, and connect the account that will receive your purchased tokens.

  2. Select the option to buy tokens:

    • On a mobile device, select Buy from the hamburger icon menu located in the top left of the screen.

    • On a desktop, select Buy on screen.

      info

      If you've never used the Buy option previously, you'll first need to select your region because payment methods and provider availability vary based on your bank's location.

  3. Set the payment method, if you've bought tokens before on your current device, your previous choice is loaded by default.

  4. In the Buy menu, select the token, and locate and select Linea from the networks list.

  5. In the list of tokens available to buy on Linea, select the one you want to buy.

  6. On the main screen, input the amount you wish to spend.

  7. View your quotes:

    • On a desktop browser, one or more quotes appear on the right.
    • On mobile devices, select Get Quotes.

  8. Pick a quote by selecting it.

Selecting a quote redirects you to the provider's site to complete the transaction. You may need to complete KYC ("Know Your Customer"; essentially, identifying yourself) with the provider.

After you've completed the steps with the provider, you'll be routed back to MetaMask Portfolio. Timescales for receiving your funds vary based on the provider and token route.
