- Introducing Lens Network. Bringing one billion users to Ethereum.
Our mission is to create an open and fair social network for all. No restrictions. A place where everyone can connect, participate, and build. We believe that digital social spaces will drive Ethereum's mainstream adoption.
We are making a big bet to scale Lens with Validiums and Volitions on Ethereum, leveraging @lens/zksync’s stack to achieve mainstream scale for the social network.

`getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [bonsai update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 **updated** - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point. (new this month: @lens/bonsai @lens/paulburke )
(2) probably you read this post on @lens/hey . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @lens/orbapp and @lens/buttrfly are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(3) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(4) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lens/hey ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money or have $POINTLESS fun on lens. Maybe consider creating a post collectible for $BONSAI. Or $POINTLESS or ...
(5) one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments.
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
[1] @lens/animators started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://hey.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @lens/animators ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
[2] consider joining communities on @lens/orbapp .
[3] consider contributing content to the weekly @lens/thisweekon highlight series ( https://hey.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x44 ) or other content threads like @lens/trustmebro .
[4] consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍)
[5] consider joining lens spaces on @lens/buttrfly .
[6] @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.
`cover artists of the month`
TYSM @lens/zospours for creating this beautiful getting started cover 🤍🙏.
Collect is the #lens super power. The “getting started” post is a 333 limited edition (20 $BONSAI with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @lens/zospours ‘ awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 10 $BONSAI. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artist’s address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist.

- 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.
- Unlocking Human Potential w Julia Lipton | S7 E5
On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Julia Lipton, Founder and General Partner at Awesome People Ventures, about unlocking latent potential in humans, finding product market fit in web3 communities, and the most important things happening in the global landscape right now.
In many ways it’s surprising that it took us until Season 7 to bring Julia on the podcast because she has actually played a part in Rehash from Day 0 as you’ll hear us talk about at the beginning of this episode. Julia is an investor, connector of people, and all around one of the kindest and most generous humans I’ve encountered in this space.
In this episode we start out by talking about DAO Masters, a project she crowdfunded through Mirror that ended up winding down last summer, and what she learned about the give-get equation through her experience there. She wrote a really thoughtful Twitter thread about the give-get equation that I’ve linked in the show notes and would encourage you all to check out, especially if you’re someone working in or adjacent to the DAO ecosystem.
We then get into a discussion around why there’s so much latent and unused human talent floating around in the corporate world and what people have been doing about it, such as flocking to freelance and contract work, or even to DAOs. Obviously DAOs aren’t perfect and are far from it, but Julia shares some strategies she thinks could be implemented for DAOs to be more effective in their operations while maintaining the same draw they have for people today.
Finally, we talk about what Julia is most focused on in the global landscape with crypto and nintynick chimes in with a question about progressive decentralization.
