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 ⛓️

You were there, and you were early for an exclusive Blind Warriors only Discord call with Banza.

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 ⛓️

Thanks for joining us for Espresso's first-ever Build & Brew Hackathon Pitch Day! We had 12 teams pitch the crosschain apps they built last month as part of our hackathon's Cracking Composability track.

Thanks for joining our Community Call on Thursday, July 18th, 2024! We broke another week-over-week record with over 350 participants. Our founder, Mathieu Baudet, joined and gave a comprehensive overview of the latest developments of the protocol and where we're going from here. Join us on Discord for future weekly events and a chance to connect with the team: discord.gg/linera

Holders of this POAP celebrated Ethereum Mainnet's upgrade to Dencun. This eagerly anticipated upgrade is projected to reduce gas fees for Layer 2 networks, unlocking greater scaling for the Ethereum ecosystem. Special thanks to the Ethereum Foundation, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Daily Gwei and EthStaker for hosting the watch party call. https://ethereum.org/ https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ https://ethstaker.cc/

The address which minted this POAP participated in the KZG Summoning Ceremony: a publicly coordinated ritual to produce a random output. This output will be used in Proto-Danksharding, aka EIP 4844: an Ethereum scaling mechanism which will hopefully enable lower Layer 2 fees and greater global accessibility. EIP-4844 is expected to go live with the Dencun network upgrade in the near future. As of the time of writing, this ceremony was the largest setup of this kind when considering the number of contributions.

We want to celebrate the community members of our public goods funding ecosystem. Many of you have participated in donating to public goods, or have been an integral community member supporting these great projects in a variety of ways. Epoch Zero is a one-time funding event, where Golem Foundation & Octant will be donating 1 million dollars to public goods projects: Clr.fund, DAO Drops, Drips, Ethereum Cat Herders, ETHStaker, Giveth, Gitcoin, Kernel, Protocol Guild, & Supermodular. To say thank you to donors of public goods projects, we want to distribute this POAP to community members who care about funding public goods. Join us as we aim to elevate the ecosystem with a variety of experiments via the staking rewards of up to 100,000ETH.

Six years ago in a galaxy far, far away, ENS was launched. Holders of this POAP have an avatar and their primary name set on an ENS name at the time of the 6th anniversary of the Ethereum Name Service.
