@0xsamp (Twitter username)/ Explanatory article series on 🌿 Lens Protocol🌿 1/ A thread on @LensProtocol and why decentralized social media will attract the masses... Summary 💡 Web2 platforms win by competing for users attention (advertising $$ to pay for the platform) Web3 social wins by offering better outcomes for users 2/ What is it 🙋‍♀️ Lens Protocol: A Decentralized Social Graph. Imagine Facebook's underlying infrastructure being open, transparent, and configurable by any application wanting to use it. How it works 🙋 - Lens is a protocol (built with Smart Contracts) on Polygon - Being a protocol means the team at Lens don't provide an application like the Facebook app for users to login and post/create content - Being a protocol means anyone can create a website using Lens as the back-end engine to explore, follow, like, subscribe - Lens uses NFT's to represent profiles, relationships, and content. Me being friends with you - that's an NFT. A post, that's an NFT How it's different 🙋‍♂️ - Users own their relationships - Users own their content - Incentives & Funding features like creator funding, content drops and content collection Relationships 👯‍♀️ - Web2 platforms are locked. Tweeters make Twitter valuable, but Tweeters aren't paid by Twitter. Tweeters can't bring their audience with them if leaving Twitter. - Lens relationships are tokenized and on-chain and not owned or locked into a platform Content 🗞️ - Similarly, your Tweets are on Twitter. Your Facebook posts are on... Facebook! - Lens mints NFT's for content, your content is public and on-chain Incentives and Funding 💸 - Pay to follow a creator, the substack model - Creator collecting fees or fundraising from followers - Sell and purchase content or relationship NFT's How this changes the game? Web3 social changes how users interact with content... 💡 Now, Twitter, Meta, Google, etc. own/manage the algorithms that choose which content to display. The Web2 social graph is THE business model—it's a competition for a user's attention. Web2 platforms are incentivized to display content by advertisers which has its limitations... 1. Ads/promoted tweets overpower valuable content 😕 2. Users can't change the algorithm displaying content 😟 3. Content can be censored/removed 😔 Web3 and Lens offer a solution 😃- Engineers and the community build their own recommendation engines and content indexers to target what they want to see. Imagine being a user and selecting which content algorithm you want to use. That's like a better, more customizable version of a Reddit thread. Imagine being a user wanting to change between social apps on top of Lens. That's like changing from LinkedIn to Facebookkeeping your followers, connections, and content Or maybe you were the first follower of a celebrity, you could sell your follower relationship NFT. There are others! gm.xyz is another interesting decentralized social app, many more I'm excited about the future and how decentralized protocol infrastructure like Lens has a massive impact on the internet model we know now. Thanks @StaniKulechov and @PodcastDelphi for the sensational podcast... I'd love to share a Lens link!! https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xBsYsZNb9inYpLe1wK1g5?si=yjmA_hJBSsyVjQMSj6Rv6w&utm_source=copy-link [samp.eth on Twitter](https://twitter.com/0xsamp/status/1612691551809081344) “1/ A thread on @LensProtocol and why decentralized social media will attract the masses...

Hello, happy to be here.
🏕🔥 CAMPFIRE: New Year Announcement + OFFICIAL Art Basel Recap 🥳 BIG THINGS COMING IN THE NEW YEAR We are excited to announce that we will release a music NFT collection featuring a compilation of the songs produced during the Campfire Art Basel sessions in 2023! This is just the first of many planned music NFT releases. We will continue bringing new and exciting music and content to our community, the web3 music space, and the music industry at large! 😎 ART BASEL MIAMI As a community of musicians, artists, creatives, and advocates, Campfire seeks ways to bring the community together and facilitate collaboration. In these past months leading up to Art Basel in Miami, it was made clear that there was a strong desire and need for a creative space where Campfire could come together, work with one another, and share time and talents IRL. We did our best to figure out something that would be impactful and meaningful for music creators within both the web3 community that we have been building and the overall music community. We rented the Campfire house and set up the Campfire studio sessions at the House of Hits recording studio in Miami while Art Basel took place. It was Campfire’s version of a hacker house: a safe haven where musicians, artists, builders, and creatives came together to work, network, build, and ship. The participation of the community was overwhelmingly positive. As the studio reached its peak, we were home to over 50 artists, producers, songwriters, and engineers working together and producing some truly unique and inspiring collaborations. We believe these shared experiences are critical to a healthy and strong community. We’re excited to continue providing a space for music creators to come together and create in the coming months and years. The more we unify ourselves as music creators, and the louder our voice is heard, the stronger we are. We should always write the story and lead the narrative regarding what industry conditions should be like. 😃 MORE TO COME... Stay tuned for updates about the Campfire Music NFT collection and future events, and thank you for supporting the Campfire community For a full recap of all that went down with Campfire at Art Basel, you can listen to the Twitter spaces we hosted recently: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1dRKZMDYkmmxB?s=20 🤗 GET INVOLVED AND STAY CONNECTED Campfire is one of the largest internet communities of web3 music creators and supporters, with the shared objective of creating better and more equitable conditions within the music industry.
