This week’s Community Hour featured all the usual action—meme challenge, tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. We also gave a first look at our activation at FWBFest 2025 (Aug 1–3), where we’ll be issuing special IRL POAPs for festival-goers who find us under the pines. Come for the vibes, stay for the microchains ⛓️🌲🎾

This week’s Community Hour POAP marks the final countdown to the Games on Microchains submission deadline—entries are due by end of day Friday, May 30th! We shared last-minute reminders, celebrated our builders, and continued our usual updates on developer workshops, game tournaments, and community Drops campaigns. Thanks for joining us as we build real-time, chain-powered applications together ⛓️

This POAP commemorates our community call on September 24th, 2024! In this session, Danny joined from France after returning from Linera’s successful participation at TOKEN2049 in Singapore. He shared insights about Linera’s presence at the conference and provided a foundational overview of the project for our EU and African community members.

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. Stay engaged and join us on Discord for more events and discussions: discord.gg/linera
