This week’s Community Hour delivered the usual energy—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. We also introduced a fresh POAP design to better match Linera’s site and brand colors, as Testnet Conway continues to unfold with new quests, new leaderboard action, and new Linerans joining every day ⛓️🧩

This POAP commemorates your presence at the launch of Linera's Testnet III Conway on The Real-Time Blockchain. Founder Mathieu Baudet announced Conway—the third phase of Linera’s testnet—and detailed what shipped: microchains with ~200 ms blocks and sub-second UX, SDK 0.15 with experimental events, a faster faucet via sparse clients, and the on-chain Game of Life game and points program. Our wallet partner Dynamic (our first!) walked through day-one flows: sign in with email/OAuth/passkey for a non-custodial embedded wallet, or connect an external wallet via WalletConnect (MetaMask supported). We're just getting started.

This week’s Community Hour brought the usual rhythm—meme challenge, tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah. We also touched on Linera’s readiness for the agentic future, with updates on MCP integration for open-weight LLMs and how microchains enable real-time agent interaction. Oh—and yes, we see you 👀 asking “wen testnet 3?” September is coming. ⛓️🧠

This POAP commemorates our Linera × Soundness X Space on Fri, Aug 22 (11:30–12:30 ET | 15:30–16:30 UTC), where we unveiled proof-agnostic ZK verification on Linera microchains—parallel attestations, Walrus-backed DA, and live builder Q&A.

This week’s Community Hour celebrated the culmination of the Games on Microchains builder challenge! We announced the winners, showcased the standout submissions, and even played a few of the games live. 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 ⛓️

This week’s Community Hour continued our tradition of weekly calls with updates from across the Linera ecosystem—including ongoing developer activities, meme challenges, and community-led campaigns. Thanks for tuning in and being part of the journey as we build the real-time blockchain together ⛓️

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 ⛓️

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!
