Linot

Perps assume smooth prices and deep books. Election odds, sports lines, and attention signals move in jumps, not curves. Later this week, we'll break down the core design challenges for prediction market perpetuals, and explore how Linera’s #microchains handle real-time risk. 🔜

This was the prototype I did for the Linot game. Aim? To bring it to life!!

New Acc Podcast with Mathieu Baudet @ma2bd, founder of @linera_io. We explore Linera’s evolution: from low-latency payments infra to real-time prediction markets. Why "microchains", why now, and what it means for onchain UX.

⚡ 48 hours left in Wave 2. Make it real-time: prediction markets, games, or market infra on Linera microchains: linera.io/buildathon

gmicrochains ⛓️ The Real‑Time Blockchain meets the Game of Life. Today, we’re launching Linera Testnet Conway, the latest phase of Linera’s public testnet: ultra‑low‑latency microchains + a new points program. Connect your wallet, play the game, and climb the leaderboard 👇🧵

Game UI is so therapeutic 🥹 My favorite part was designing this octopus from scratch even tho it took longer than I thought😂😭. I’ll be sharing the break down of the octopus (Linot) @linotgame Ui and the idea behind it. I’ll also post the prototype of the splash screen soon
