This POAP celebrates a jam-packed Community Hour on December 11, 2025—where we wrapped up Wave 3 of the Buildathon and launched Wave 4, teased our upcoming mascot m0x, and closing out the final week of the Game of Life quests. We shared our latest partnership with Swapper Finance, bringing card-to-DeFi flows with Linera microchains and support from Mastercard and Chainlink CRE. And we continued our weekly PM Pulse series on prediction markets with a livestream alongside Fliq, diving into the state of onchain forecasting.

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 Linera’s Testnet Archimedes launch—the first phase of our testnet rollout. This significant milestone marked the transformation of our devnet into a fully decentralized network with validators, enhancing both security and scalability. Our founder, Mathieu Baudet, alongside key validator partners from Luganodes, Everstake, Space and Time, and Argument, shared insights into the importance of this phase and its implications for Linera’s future. Attendees had the chance to explore the innovative microchain technology that positions Linera as a groundbreaking force in the onchain space.

Major thanks to everyone who joined our Community Hour on Thursday, August 15th, 2024! We were once again excited to host Janito, one of our core engineers, who demoed how Linera’s microchains support fungible token transfers (see our YouTube for the video). We also reminded everyone about the current hackathon, which is wrapping up in a couple of days, and, of course, we had our usual fun with memes. This call was our most popular yet, with over a thousand attendees submitting their wallet addresses. We also held our second raffle, drawing a winner on POAP.fun from those who collected POAPs from previous calls.
