LiNEAR Protocol FAQs

What does LiNEAR Protocol do?

LiNEAR describes its product as liquid staking and restaking, with NEAR and ETH named as assets on its homepage metadata. The available product details do not explain the staking or restaking process.

What is the LNR token used for?

LNR is the protocol’s named token. Its role, fees and any effect on staking returns are not established here; check LiNEAR’s current documentation before using it.

Is LiNEAR Protocol audited and safe to use?

Two audits are listed, but their scope, findings and remediation status are not established. An audit listing alone does not show whether funds are safe, so review the actual reports and understand the withdrawal terms before depositing.
