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 week’s Community Hour celebrated the culmination of the Games on Microchains builder challenge!

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 ⛓️

Abstracting Complexity, Unlocking Opportunity: Simplified Web3 Development & Rewards for Open Source Projects Speakers: Max Howell, Founder & CEO Mawadda Basir, Head of Product Through this workshop, attendees will learn strategies and implementation examples for utilizing account abstraction to smooth the transition for web2 developers into web3 while enabling new reward, ownership, and recognition opportunities for open source project contributors through simplified interactions for their users.
