This POAP commemorates your attendance at Linera’s Community Call on October 30th, 2025, featuring a special guest appearance by the team from Spicenet to celebrate our new partnership. Together, we’re unlocking real-time, composable execution—pairing Linera’s microchain architecture with Spicenet’s brokerage network for DeFi. The result? Frictionless, low-latency interactions across chains, unifying assets, liquidity, and users through one seamless layer. 💠⛓️

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’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.

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.

This week’s Community Hour POAP was claimable via secret word—available only to live listeners! We shared updates on the weekly Developer Workshop series (Tuesdays), the ongoing Games on Microchains builder challenge, our regular game tournaments, and the latest meme challenge.
