- Alongside the technical enhancements, we propose to future-proof the Aave visual identity, cementing our forward-thinking and innovative ethos. Read more about the proposed updates: <https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-aave-visual-identity/17542>
- Why you collect? In my perspective there are 3 main reasons:
- Help your fav creator
- Get a special benefit (token gating)
- Want to save something forever onchain
For me the potential of collects is in the 2nd reason, benefit your collectors with onchain (or even Offchain) perks. Web3 makes it easy to reward users.
In #ExploringTheGarden 🎙️, we are experimenting with all the 3 topics and learning in the process :)
- Ethereum
- Take an afk break to dive into crypto-politics, anonymity, and identity.
Fireside chat with @lens/simondenny (Artist and Professor at HBFK Hamburg) and Dr. Jaya Klara-Brekke (Chief Strategy Officer at NYM), at afk Berlin.

without looking close
deterioration bare
surrounded by glitz
if you only live within a certain reality do you ever notice the breaking down of everything around you? having lived in “middle america” i’ve seen the rise & fall of the strip mall. buildings abandoned. falling apart. bulldozed into parking lots or apartment complexes. in a society very plugged in to media 24/7 it becomes harder & harder to see what’s going on. some say america is overdue for the fall of an empire, but what if it has already fallen & we’re just distracted?
sometimes we have to look at things with a different lens in order to see the layers of existence that we’ve endured. here i used a macro lens to get up close & personal with the deteriorating paint of a parking lot in utah. perhaps what was once a regular spot then became for the handicapped. maybe because a decline in the health of a population. left to rot in a lot seldom used. repurposed with a light capturing device to create an abstract, colourful image akin to moss or barnacles. nature degenerative. deteriorstate.
one of the earliest series of my career. never been published or posted on socials until now, from when i was 25 years old & had yet to have my mind blown wide open by NYC & the world.
*i’m going to try something different here with this series. since all three of these technically are not part of the collect, i will mint #2 + #3 on polygon or base (your choice) & airdrop to the collector separately.

it’s official: my purpose here on this planet is to experience the absolute dumbest scenarios of dating so that i can compile a series of ridiculous stories into a ny times bestseller :D
in case you’re wondering.. this is how my week was going before tonight’s gut punch. sometimes you feel like you can’t lose and in an instant you feel like you can’t win. so it goes. when it rains it pours. i wasn’t going to release this for a while, or at all, but harboring feelings isn’t the way so here i am letting it all out.

Incentives will begin immediately if the proposal passes.
- Lens is an on-chain social protocol where users own their profiles and the connections they create, all secured by the blockchain. Content is also secured, either by data availability (Arweave) or by being posted on-chain for paid collection as NFTs. If you are familiar with Web3 and non-custodial applications, Lens guarantees that no one can take your profile and followers away from you. It's yours forever.
Apps and algorithms are provided by third parties (you might be reading this post from a third-party app now). Users can also choose their algorithms, and more feed algorithms will be available as the application and algorithm ecosystem evolves.
I hope you enjoy exploring Lens and all the apps here. It's just the beginning, like Ethereum back in 2014 and Bitcoin back in 2008. The community can make the most out of Lens by creating valuable and meaningful discussions, producing high-quality content, and collecting content to support creators.
The future of Lens is yours to shape.
- Only the blockchain can save us
- Every paid collect is direct value appreciation to ones creativity and thinking. There is so much content that could be collected as paid collects. The more intentional the content is, the higher chances the content could be a paid collect.

- I’ve been excited about web3 social since 2022. I got introduced to it through Lens as a user playing with apps and posting video content, experimenting with paid collects and other monetisation models. What made a lot of sense to me is that social is something that a much larger population can understand than things like DeFi.
We then launched a grants program at @lens/thesymmetrical with the support of some incredible orgs and people such as 1kx network, MetaCartel, @lens/pet3rpan
Some of the projects we supported with small $ 1-5k checks are @lens/ensocollective , Forum DAOs or @lens/zurfsocial
The grants program helped me understand that the app and middleware layer of web3 social is typically overlooked, with most capital being allocated to the protocols (Lens/Farcaster). When it comes to social, I believe the value will accrue to apps the most and currently, there isn’t enough attention and capital directed towards these builders.
This inspired me and @lens/clujso to launch @lens/socialgraphvc , an investment DAO focused on apps and middleware of web3 social. When starting the raise in July 2023, many people I spoke to dismissed the idea of web3 social, saying it’s just a decentralised Twitter, which isn’t exciting enough. While I agree that web2 social clones are not the way to go, I think they were a good foundation for what’s to come. Since then waves of new experiments have come to life on the infra side that enabled builders to create incredible apps and experiences.
On the infra side: @privy_io enabled seamless onboarding, @farcaster_xyz frames gave us composable mini-apps, @LensProtocol open actions gave us onchain smart contract composability and http://Friend.tech introduced the bonding curve to social.
On the apps side: @unlonely_app has become the top place for live streaming and betting. @cryptothegame_ made squid game onchain, @DrawTheChart gave us the most beautiful PWA for prediction markets. There is many others to name here.
It looks like the stars are aligning for web3 social, and @socialgraphvc is fortunate enough to be early to invest in the first wave of successful social applications. Although many people doubted our thesis in the summer of 2023, we managed to raise over $ 2M, invest in 5 incredible projects and expect q1 to be extremely busy. In case you have woken up to web3 social we are still accepting a few more members

- If internet would be one big feed to scroll, I would get depressed very quickly. The way social networks are build today are moving towards that direction.

- The other night at FICE for my show opening was really a grand reunion! All of this started with most of these guys right here putting in long days shoveling snow filming tricks n stuff 18 years ago for the love of the boarding & ignited this creative journey of mine 🙏 🫂 Variety Pack for life ♥️ very grateful to show up in SLC & have the family around. VERY BIG thank you to Corey + team for having me at the gallery, it’s appreciated beyond words!
PHOTOGRAPHYSBORING will be up ALL month so stop by to check it out if you’re in SLC + grab a small print and/or tote if you can! Only a few left 👀 18x12” glossy prints for $55 + totes for $28 (:
