Our second Community Hour of 2025 was an exciting one! With our X/Twitter following more than tripling thanks to the “Testnet Mega Quest” campaign on Galxe, Linera founder Mathieu Baudet joined to reintroduce the basics of Linera for our growing community. We also held our usual POAP raffle for last week’s collectors, issued this week’s POAP for participants, and reviewed submissions from last week’s meme challenge, “Linera vs The Critics.” Thank you for being part of Linera’s journey and staying early as we build the future of real-time blockchain!

Thanks for joining Linera’s December 5th, 2024 Community Hour! This week's call featured a real-time microchains demonstration through an interactive 2048 game tournament, showcasing the speed of microchains in action. Whether you joined to compete, watch, or just hang out, we’re glad you were there! See you at the next Community Hour. 🫡

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. As a Silver Chains holder, this POAP celebrates your deeper engagement and growing involvement with Linera’s vision.
