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 featured Danny, Myz Julz, and Josiah with all the usual synched-up energy—meme challenges, game tournaments, and ecosystem updates. We also recapped Mathieu’s recent Bay Area trip to the Science of Blockchain Conference, where he shared the power of Linera’s hyper‑modular microchains and spoke with industry leaders and potential backers about what’s next for the protocol. ⛓️

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 ⛓️

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 week marks 1 full year of Linera Community Hours! 🎉 To celebrate, we’re issuing 1,000 POAPs—double the usual supply—as a thank-you to everyone who’s helped grow this community. We reflected on how far we’ve come, from early calls to showcasing games, memes, quests, and more—all powered by Linera’s hyper-modular architecture. Here’s to what’s next. ⛓️

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.

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 ⛓️

We’re back with a fresh POAP drop for Community Hour—now using the secret-word method! Attendees had to tune in live and catch the passphrase to mint. This week, we talked about our upcoming weekly Developer Workshop on Tuesdays, the ongoing Games on Microchains builder challenge, our community game tournaments, and the latest meme challenge. Thanks for joining us as we continue to build real-time, microchains-powered fun together!
