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 ⛓️

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!

We kicked off our first POAP drop of 2025 during today’s Community Hour call! Danny Greene, our usual host, joined us to discuss the latest questing campaign with Galxe, which launched today. We covered the usual POAP raffle and claim process, along with our “Better, Faster, Linera” meme challenge—announcing winners and sharing all the creative submissions. We also reminded everyone about our internet tournaments and game nights. Since it’s the new year and we’re welcoming many new faces from the Galxe quest, we went over the basics of Linera, shared insights about our founder Mathieu Baudet, and encouraged everyone to join the quest (especially the one focused on learning about Linera). We emphasized how early everyone still is—our mainnet hasn’t even launched yet!

Abstracting Complexity, Unlocking Opportunity: Simplified Web3 Development & Rewards for Open Source Projects Speakers: Max Howell, Founder & CEO Mawadda Basir, Head of Product Through this workshop, attendees will learn strategies and implementation examples for utilizing account abstraction to smooth the transition for web2 developers into web3 while enabling new reward, ownership, and recognition opportunities for open source project contributors through simplified interactions for their users. We will showcase demos using our app, tea, which leverages these techniques to empower open source project ownership and decentralized community rewards.

This POAP commemorates MWP Rendezvous '23 and was issued to the patrons of the event.
