This week’s Community Hour POAP marks the final countdown to the Games on Microchains submission deadline—entries are due by end of day Friday, May 30th! We shared last-minute reminders, celebrated our builders, and continued our usual updates on developer workshops, game tournaments, and community Drops campaigns. Thanks for joining us as we build real-time, chain-powered applications together ⛓️

This POAP commemorates our special Community Hour held on May 22, 2025—the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕. Together with Linera’s community of builders and believers, we explored the historical arc from early cryptography to peer-to-peer money to real-time microchains. Thanks for being here early. The future is scaling—chain by chain. ⛓️

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 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 ⛓️

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!

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!

This POAP commemorates the Linera x Space and Time Space on November 20th, 2024. The session explored how Linera’s microchains and Space and Time’s Proof of SQL ZK coprocessor are transforming Web3 by enabling real-time, provable data querying and decentralized scalability. With insights from Mathieu Baudet (Linera Founder & CEO), Stephen Hilton (SxT Head of Solutions), Danny Greene (Linera Ecosystem Lead), and Catherine Daly (SxT Head of Marketing), attendees learned how this integration enhances high-speed, trustless transactions and multi-chain interoperability for next-gen decentralized applications.
