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 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 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 our special Community Hour held on May 22, 2025—the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕. Together with Linera’s community of builders and believers, we explored the historical arc from early cryptography to peer-to-peer money to real-time microchains. Thanks for being here early. The future is scaling—chain by chain. ⛓️
