With the Linera team on the ground in Cannes, France for ETHCC, this week’s Community Hour was proudly hosted by our incredible community moderators—Myz, Julz, and Josiah! They kept things running smoothly with all the usual updates: meme challenge, game tournaments, and ecosystem highlights. Thanks for showing up and helping grow our hyper-modular community from wherever you are in the world ⛓️

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 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 ⛓️

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!

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!
