This week’s Community Hour featured exciting updates, including a new Galxe Mega Quest focused on Linera’s partnership with Space and Time, our latest meme challenge “Linera in the Movies,” and upcoming internet game tournaments to level up your chains and play with the team. We also welcomed a new regional channel for India with Sanatan as the new mod and shared a Galxe how-to video by Ambassador Lucy. Thanks for being part of the Linera community!

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!

The address which minted this POAP participated in the KZG Summoning Ceremony: a publicly coordinated ritual to produce a random output. This output will be used in Proto-Danksharding, aka EIP 4844: an Ethereum scaling mechanism which will hopefully enable lower Layer 2 fees and greater global accessibility. EIP-4844 is expected to go live with the Dencun network upgrade in the near future. As of the time of writing, this ceremony was the largest setup of this kind when considering the number of contributions.

Thank you for attending our weekly Friday community call held on our discord. This week's illustration was created with help of AI by Magdalena. We talked so much about our old computers and first online experiences that I called it "dinosaur technology" and decided our POAP will have a very wrinkled dino in its office full of all that cobweb covered retro junk. Good times! 😉
