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 week’s Community Hour POAP celebrates an in-depth focus on DeFi on Linera, following our Tuesday Developer Workshop featuring founder Mathieu Baudet, host Danny Greene, and community builder Zhao KK. We explored how Linera’s microchain architecture unlocks ultra-low-latency, end-to-end secure DeFi—including RFQs, real-time orderbooks, peer-to-peer swaps, and auction-style protocols—all scalable via user-owned and temporary chains. We also continued our Games on Microchains challenge and shared updates from the Linera ecosystem.

Our second Community Hour of 2025 was an exciting one! With our X/Twitter following more than tripling thanks to the “Testnet Mega Quest” campaign on Galxe, Linera founder Mathieu Baudet joined to reintroduce the basics of Linera for our growing community. We also held our usual POAP raffle for last week’s collectors, issued this week’s POAP for participants, and reviewed submissions from last week’s meme challenge, “Linera vs The Critics.” Thank you for being part of Linera’s journey and staying early as we build the future of real-time blockchain!

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! ❄️
