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 our May 1st, 2025 Community Hour celebrating the launch of Drops, Linera’s new social points program. We walked through how to earn XP by completing quests, making referrals, and engaging socially—all as part of Testnet Babbage. Climb the leaderboard, invite your frens, and help shape the real-time blockchain.

This week’s Community Hour POAP was again claimable live via secret word! We shared updates on the Games on Microchains builder challenge, other active game tournaments, and the latest meme challenge. We also celebrated major momentum from our Drops campaign, including an all-time high in Twitter followers (+46K!) and over 152,000 submissions. Huge welcome to all our new Linerans joining the real-time blockchain revolution ⛓️

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.

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!
