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 week marks 1 full year of Linera Community Hours! 🎉 To celebrate, we’re issuing 1,000 POAPs—double the usual supply—as a thank-you to everyone who’s helped grow this community. We reflected on how far we’ve come, from early calls to showcasing games, memes, quests, and more—all powered by Linera’s hyper-modular architecture. Here’s to what’s next. ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour POAP marks the final countdown to the Games on Microchains submission deadline—entries are due by end of day Friday, May 30th! We shared last-minute reminders, celebrated our builders, and continued our usual updates on developer workshops, game tournaments, and community Drops campaigns. Thanks for joining us as we build real-time, chain-powered applications together ⛓️

This POAP commemorates our special Community Hour held on May 22, 2025—the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕. Together with Linera’s community of builders and believers, we explored the historical arc from early cryptography to peer-to-peer money to real-time microchains. Thanks for being here early. The future is scaling—chain by chain. ⛓️

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.

Our second Community Hour of 2025 was an exciting one! With our X/Twitter following more than tripling thanks to the “Testnet Mega Quest” campaign on Galxe, Linera founder Mathieu Baudet joined to reintroduce the basics of Linera for our growing community. We also held our usual POAP raffle for last week’s collectors, issued this week’s POAP for participants, and reviewed submissions from last week’s meme challenge, “Linera vs The Critics.” Thank you for being part of Linera’s journey and staying early as we build the future of real-time blockchain!

Thank you for joining Linera’s final Community Hour call of the year! This special holiday-themed session featured our founder Mathieu, our incredible moderators, and enthusiastic community members, alongside our host Danny.

This POAP design includes a snowflake to commemorate the season and the achievements of the year. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—thank you for being part of the Linera community! ❄️
