This week’s Community Hour kept the momentum going with our regular lineup—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. As we get closer to the next phase of testnet, the conversation keeps growing around what’s possible with user-owned chains and Linera’s hyper-modular future ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour featured Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah with all the usual synched-up energy—meme challenges, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates. We also recapped Mathieu’s recent Bay Area trip to the Science of Blockchain Conference, where he shared the power of Linera’s hyper‑modular microchains and spoke with industry leaders and potential backers about what’s next for the protocol. ⛓️

We’re back from ETHCC 2025 in Cannes and ready to share highlights from the trip! Danny returns to host alongside community mods Myz Julz and Josiah, diving into how Linera’s hyper-modular architecture enables unlimited blockspace—and what that means for builders and users alike. As always, we’ll cover the latest meme challenge, tournaments, and community updates ⛓️

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 marks 1 full year of Linera Community Hours! 🎉 To celebrate, we’re issuing 1,000 POAPs—double the usual supply—as a thank-you to everyone who’s helped grow this community. We reflected on how far we’ve come, from early calls to showcasing games, memes, quests, and more—all powered by Linera’s hyper-modular architecture. Here’s to what’s next. ⛓️

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 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 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 featured exciting updates, including a new Galxe Mega Quest focused on Linera’s partnership with Space and Time, our latest meme challenge “Linera in the Movies,” and upcoming internet game tournaments to level up your chains and play with the team. We also welcomed a new regional channel for India with Sanatan as the new mod and shared a Galxe how-to video by Ambassador Lucy. Thanks for being part of the Linera community!
