Join us for the next chapter in Linera's evolution with our Spring 2024 Hackathon! With the launch of our Devnet, we're opening doors to innovative projects ready to leverage Linera’s capabilities. This hackathon is not just a coding challenge, but a deep dive into the potential of Linera's architecture, designed to offer low-latency, end-to-end user interactions, and unprecedented horizontal scalability.
Dig into Linera’s Devnet
Learn: Enhance your Rust skills by building smart contracts on the Linera protocol
Connect: Participate in workshops and connect with Linera’s engineering community
Build: Harness Linera’s microchains for scalable, flexible blockchain solutions
Earn: Compete for a share of the $12,000 prize pool
Join us at the kick-off call on May 15, 2024 @5pm ET!
Linera is the first user-centric horizontally-scalable blockchain protocol.
Linera relies on the concept of microchains to divide blockspace into an unlimited number of parallel execution threads. Every Linera user is given a microchain where they can hold their assets and propose new transactions (e.g. to transfer assets to other users’ chains). To coordinate their states across microchains, Linera applications rely on asynchronous messages and occasionally on special chains shared between participants.
Because every user has an independent microchain, Linera transactions can run complex computations (e.g. AI inference, privacy computation, and oracles) that may not be possible on a classical blockchain due to blocktime requirements.
Microchains also allow Linera wallets to act as a local data provider and notification provider for Web3 applications. This makes Linera an ideal platform for reactive user interfaces and fast on-chain multi-user interactions (e.g. in games and auction systems).
To provide the best performance, Linera applications are written in Rust for the Wasm VM.
The native Ethereum<>Linera messaging system (under development) will allow Ethereum applications to use Linera as an high-performance execution layer and a reactive data provider for their Web interfaces.
Linera is especially well suited for applications related to:
Payments and messaging
Publishing social content on-chain
Publishing software and running sandboxed code on the “edge” (in the web client)
Auction systems
On-chain games
AI assistants
Autonomous agents
