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 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 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.
