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!

Gmicrochains. Thanks for joining Linera’s December 12th, 2024 Community Hour! Streaming live from Iceland during our winter work-session, this week’s call celebrated Linerans with a special focus on the weekly Meme Challenge. We shared laughs, reviewed top Icelandic winter meme entries, and showcased the creativity of our amazing community. Whether you joined to share, vote, or simply hang out, we’re grateful for your participation. See you at the next Community Hour as always! ⛓️

Thank you for joining our Community Hour call on Thursday, August 22nd, 2024! This session was a bit different—while we kept the usual fun with memes and community highlights, we also shared details about the upcoming Twitter Space with Argument. Additionally, we introduced new requirements for minting POAPs, including needing a chain role on our Discord, which is based on user activity. See you next time!

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.

Major thanks to everyone who joined our Community Hour on Thursday, August 15th, 2024! We were once again excited to host Janito, one of our core engineers, who demoed how Linera’s microchains support fungible token transfers (see our YouTube for the video). We also reminded everyone about the current hackathon, which is wrapping up in a couple of days, and, of course, we had our usual fun with memes. This call was our most popular yet, with over a thousand attendees submitting their wallet addresses. We also held our second raffle, drawing a winner on POAP.fun from those who collected POAPs from previous calls.

Shoutout to those who joined our Community Call on Thursday, August 8th, 2024! We were thrilled to have Andre Da Silva, one of our talented engineers, share his journey to Linera and his current work on blobs. Andre, who comes from Meta like our founder Mathieu and VP of Marketing Pateel, provided insights into the innovative projects he’s working on that are shaping our protocol. This week also marked our first raffle, where we drew a winner on POAP.fun based on the POAPs collected from joiners on previous calls. In addition to the tech talk, we had some fun with memes and reviewed photos shared our new #pets channel on Discord, where community members can share photos of their non-human kin.
