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 week’s Community Hour covered all the usual programs—meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates—hosted by Danny alongside Myz Julz and Josiah. We also touched on the momentum of “crypto summer,” including Bitcoin’s new all-time highs, developments in the broader blockchain world like Coinbase’s new Base App, and our engineering team’s offsite in Poland as they build what’s next for Linera’s hyper-modular protocol ⛓️

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.

Thank you for joining Linera’s final Community Hour call of the year! This special holiday-themed session featured our founder Mathieu, our incredible moderators, and enthusiastic community members, alongside our host Danny. We celebrated 2024’s milestones, reviewed entries from the holiday-themed meme challenge, and held a festive POAP raffle. To cap it off, we teased exciting launches and developments coming in 2025. This POAP design includes a snowflake to commemorate the season and the achievements of the year. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—thank you for being part of the Linera community! ❄️

During this week’s Community Hour, we showcased a working prototype of MetaMask integration on Linera—following up on our Developer Workshop earlier in the week. This marks a major step in making our hyper-modular architecture more accessible to everyday Web3 users. In addition to the demo, we covered our usual meme challenge, game tournaments, and the latest updates from across the Linera ecosystem ⛓️

This POAP commemorates Linera’s Testnet Babbage launch—the second major milestone in our testnet rollout. Building on the success of Archimedes, Babbage introduces powerful upgrades including a trustless web client, configurable PoW microchains, and Ethereum-compatible signatures, pushing Linera closer to its vision of real-time, user-centric blockchain infrastructure. During our April 17th AMA, Linera founder Mathieu Baudet was joined by key validator partners to discuss the technical advances in SDK v0.14, the role of AI-integrated oracles, and our evolving roadmap. Attendees got a firsthand look at the future of scalable microchain apps and Linera’s bold steps toward mainnet.
