Post by @carlosbeltran • Hey
Alright now that we can get back to business..
What are some BIG ideas for getting $bonsai into the hands of more people, and (maybe) driving demand 🙂 I
Comments
- running some art @club/quality content contests like with what we saw last summer with quadratic lenster or like OPs art contest.
I’d suggest visual, written, video and music as categories. Could even be a contest for the most innovative marketing of bonsai
Could also run a retroPGF round to reward people building, creating, onboarding others etc into the lens or bonsai ecosystem (optimism style but using bonsai) - trick here is to announce it in advance so people have months and months to contribute to the growth of bonsai
- i think people who have been most active collecting for a long time should be heavily rewarded, and/or incentive for outside collectors that haven't been here much to get them over here but that's more work
- Bonsai merch which can only be bought from bonsai tokens 🥺
- **Hackathons and Development Grants**: Encourage innovation by hosting hackathons or offering grants for developers to build on the $bonsai ecosystem, driving organic growth and utility.
- Funding projects on top of Bonsai!!
- BIPs - Bonsai Improvement Proposals 😀.
- Here’s some ideas:
1. Creator Milestone Rewards
2. Engagement-based airdrops
3. Referral Programs for Creators who bring new members
4. Retention Bonuses
5. Themed Challenges and Contests, Trusted Talent for instance
6. Educational Incentives drops
7. Creator of the Month Reward
8. Staking Rewards for Creators
9. Feedback and Improvement Incentives
10. Collaboration Bonuses - example? We do accept @lens/bonsai payments for sponsorship spots in our TMB newsletter
- builder grants, like @lens/iamtherealyakuza noted referral programs would work great.
kindly do not airdrop based on engagement, that'd be terrible
- Have Live online Auctions while interviewing/ Spotlight one or two people so you’re highlighting the creator :-) Use Lens apps to go Live- T.V, podcasts, etc. and stream to any and all other platforms - super followers get first bids????
- Just going to bed. Gotta ponder on this tomorrow 🤔
- The single biggest limiter to Bonsai & Lens’ growth is only being one chain. Plus it's the most boring chain - Polygon. To bring more diverse Creator communities, Degen’s and DeFi nerds to Bonsai it has to be more chains. Mantle, Fantom, BASE and Berachain all come to mind.
Now we can buy & sell anything directly from in feed.
Could cross chain swaps via www.squidrouter.com be implemented ?
More Orb collaboration - Orb is by far the best app and has the potential to become Instagram of Web3 let alone Lens.
Could Bonsai be baked into mobile wallets like
https://rainbow.me https://family.co https://zerion.io
as the gateway drug to Bonsai ?
- Art collection fund: have a specific $bonsai budget for collecting high quality art by artists on Lens.
Exhibit the art in the Bonsai Museum (online gallery).
Designate professional art curators to select works every week. Promote it on X. Exhibit those works at IRL events …
- My 2 cents: https://orb.club/p/0xe30c-0x0429
- Tipping !!!!
- Check DMs bro
- We need more utility for $bonsai so people want to have more bonsai.
1. List CEX so more people know and approach $bonsai(unless CEX want huge amount of bonsai so they can dump on holder)
2. Create NFT that can be minted using Bonsai
3. Need to involve more KOL outside of Lens to talk abt Bonsai
4. Need more apps to use Bonsai as their main token(like Drakula on Base, with the hype of their investor), Some Bonsai grant might help
5. l3 chain like you said probably work or build on ecosystem around $bonsai.
6. Pls fix the marketcap on Coingecko and Dexscreener. Showing marketcap = FDV scare investor away, we all know the circulation $bonsai token is much lower than that
Getting $bonsai into the hand of more people might make they dump the token, we need them in the right hand that improve $bonsai ecosystem.
- Can't go wrong with Degen playbook, but, Lens demographic is different. If I am right, most of the followers are from Asia and Africa. Can we make $bonsai into something that is sincere and caring? Something that works for everyone, one that is aligned with the "movement" in memecoin meta.
In passing, can @lens/madfinance make a crypto native app similar to the "paluwagan"...

p.s. Call it "landbank" where $bonsai can grow =)
- Don't forget to reduce supply, reward the holders for holding (e.g. staking reward), so that they won't sell
