This week’s Community Hour was hosted by our community mods Josiah and Myz Julz (Danny’s on vacation!), featuring all the usual fun—meme challenge, game tournaments, and community updates. We also shared an exciting preview of our upcoming presence at FWB FEST (Aug 1–3 in Idyllwild, CA), and encouraged folks to meet the team IRL for special on-site POAPs. ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour covered all the usual programs—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny alongside Myz Julz and Josiah. We also touched on the momentum of “crypto summer,” including Bitcoin’s new all-time highs, developments in the broader blockchain world like Coinbase’s new Base App, and our engineering team’s offsite in Poland as they build what’s next for Linera’s hyper-modular protocol ⛓️

During this week’s Community Hour, we showcased a working prototype of MetaMask integration on Linera—following up on our Developer Workshop earlier in the week. This marks a major step in making our hyper-modular architecture more accessible to everyday Web3 users. In addition to the demo, we covered our usual meme challenge, game tournaments, and the latest updates from across the Linera ecosystem ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour POAP celebrates an in-depth focus on DeFi on Linera, following our Tuesday Developer Workshop featuring founder Mathieu Baudet, host Danny Greene, and community builder Zhao KK. We explored how Linera’s microchain architecture unlocks ultra-low-latency, end-to-end secure DeFi—including RFQs, real-time orderbooks, peer-to-peer swaps, and auction-style protocols—all scalable via user-owned and temporary chains. We also continued our Games on Microchains challenge and shared updates from the Linera ecosystem.

This week’s Community Hour POAP celebrates our ongoing Games on Microchains developer challenge—we reviewed early submissions and highlighted the creative ways builders are using Linera’s reactive, microchains-based architecture to power onchain games. We also spotlighted our latest Drops campaign encouraging the community to tweet “gmicrochains” to earn XP and rise on the leaderboard. As always, we shared updates on developer workshops, game tournaments, and community happenings. Thanks for staying early with Linera ⛓️

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.

This week’s Community Hour POAP was claimable via secret word—available only to live listeners! We shared updates on the weekly Developer Workshop series (Tuesdays), the ongoing Games on Microchains builder challenge, our regular game tournaments, and the latest meme challenge. Thanks for showing up and staying early with Linera as we build the real-time blockchain ⛓️

We’re back with a fresh POAP drop for Community Hour—now using the secret-word method! Attendees had to tune in live and catch the passphrase to mint. This week, we talked about our upcoming weekly Developer Workshop on Tuesdays, the ongoing Games on Microchains builder challenge, our community game tournaments, and the latest meme challenge. Thanks for joining us as we continue to build real-time, microchains-powered fun together!

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!
