During this week’s Community Hour, we showcased a working prototype of MetaMask integration on Linera—following up on our Developer Workshop earlier in the week. This marks a major step in making our hyper-modular architecture more accessible to everyday Web3 users. In addition to the demo, we covered our usual meme challenge, game tournaments, and the latest updates from across the Linera ecosystem ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour celebrated the culmination of the Games on Microchains builder challenge! We announced the winners, showcased the standout submissions, and even played a few of the games live. From ultra-fast gameplay to creative mechanics powered by Linera’s microchains, it was a showcase of what real-time onchain gaming can look like ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour continued our tradition of weekly calls with updates from across the Linera ecosystem—including ongoing developer activities, meme challenges, and community-led campaigns. Thanks for tuning in and being part of the journey as we build the real-time blockchain 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 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.
