This week’s Community Hour delivered the usual energy—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. We also introduced a fresh POAP design to better match Linera’s site and brand colors, as Testnet Conway continues to unfold with new quests, new leaderboard action, and new Linerans joining every day ⛓️🧩

This POAP commemorates your presence at the launch of Linera's Testnet III Conway on The Real-Time Blockchain. Founder Mathieu Baudet announced Conway—the third phase of Linera’s testnet—and detailed what shipped: microchains with ~200 ms blocks and sub-second UX, SDK 0.15 with experimental events, a faster faucet via sparse clients, and the on-chain Game of Life game and points program. Our wallet partner Dynamic (our first!) walked through day-one flows: sign in with email/OAuth/passkey for a non-custodial embedded wallet, or connect an external wallet via WalletConnect (MetaMask supported). We're just getting started.

This POAP commemorates our Linera × Soundness X Space on Fri, Aug 22 (11:30–12:30 ET | 15:30–16:30 UTC), where we unveiled proof-agnostic ZK verification on Linera microchains—parallel attestations, Walrus-backed DA, and live builder Q&A.

This POAP commemorates Linera’s Testnet Babbage launch—the second major milestone in our testnet rollout. Building on the success of Archimedes, Babbage introduces powerful upgrades including a trustless web client, configurable PoW microchains, and Ethereum-compatible signatures, pushing Linera closer to its vision of real-time, user-centric blockchain infrastructure. During our April 17th AMA, Linera founder Mathieu Baudet was joined by key validator partners to discuss the technical advances in SDK v0.14, the role of AI-integrated oracles, and our evolving roadmap. Attendees got a firsthand look at the future of scalable microchain apps and Linera’s bold steps toward mainnet.
