This week’s Community Hour delivered the usual energy—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. We also introduced a fresh POAP design to better match Linera’s site and brand colors, as Testnet Conway continues to unfold with new quests, new leaderboard action, and new Linerans joining every day ⛓️🧩

This POAP commemorates your presence at the launch of Linera's Testnet III Conway on The Real-Time Blockchain. Founder Mathieu Baudet announced Conway—the third phase of Linera’s testnet—and detailed what shipped: microchains with ~200 ms blocks and sub-second UX, SDK 0.15 with experimental events, a faster faucet via sparse clients, and the on-chain Game of Life game and points program. Our wallet partner Dynamic (our first!) walked through day-one flows: sign in with email/OAuth/passkey for a non-custodial embedded wallet, or connect an external wallet via WalletConnect (MetaMask supported). We're just getting started.

This POAP commemorates our Linera × Soundness X Space on Fri, Aug 22 (11:30–12:30 ET | 15:30–16:30 UTC), where we unveiled proof-agnostic ZK verification on Linera microchains—parallel attestations, Walrus-backed DA, and live builder Q&A.

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. Thanks for showing up and staying early with Linera as we build the 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!

Thank you for joining Linera’s final Community Hour call of the year! This special holiday-themed session featured our founder Mathieu, our incredible moderators, and enthusiastic community members, alongside our host Danny. We celebrated 2024’s milestones, reviewed entries from the holiday-themed meme challenge, and held a festive POAP raffle. To cap it off, we teased exciting launches and developments coming in 2025. This POAP design includes a snowflake to commemorate the season and the achievements of the year. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—thank you for being part of the Linera community! ❄️
