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 ⛓️

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. ⛓️

You were there on EFP waaaay back in 2024!

This POAP commemorates Linera’s Testnet Archimedes launch—the first phase of our testnet rollout. This significant milestone marked the transformation of our devnet into a fully decentralized network with validators, enhancing both security and scalability. Our founder, Mathieu Baudet, alongside key validator partners from Luganodes, Everstake, Space and Time, and Argument, shared insights into the importance of this phase and its implications for Linera’s future. Attendees had the chance to explore the innovative microchain technology that positions Linera as a groundbreaking force in the onchain space. As a Bronze Chains holder, this POAP reflects your early involvement and engagement with Linera’s journey.

This POAP commemorates Linera’s Community Hour on November 21st, 2024, where we demoed a groundbreaking first: a Web3 app frontend powered by the Linera Web client, running entirely in the browser. Alongside this exciting showcase, we celebrated the creativity of our developer community with highlighted games built on Linera's Testnet Archimedes, explored this week’s meme challenge, and hosted our usual raffle. As always, the call was streamed via X/Twitter and YouTube Live, ensuring all moments are recorded and accessible for the Linera community worldwide. Thank you for joining us as we continue building the future of real-time blockchain technology!

This POAP commemorates our special Halloween Community Call on October 31st, 2024. Along with our usual updates and raffle, we held a Halloween-themed meme challenge, showcasing a spooky twist to our community’s creativity. Thanks to all who joined us to celebrate and contribute!
