- **Hey anon, we’re excited to drop 🌿Wagame $LENS cheat sheet 🤫👇 and with this occasion**
**we’ll give away 1 KoruDAO NFT ($285 on OS) - to enter #LMCC (paid collect 2,85 WMATIC)**
You’ve probably seen countless speculations about “guaranteed” airdrop from Lens - we have come to the conclusion that most likely none of these speculations will end up to be true, our evidence points to something more nuanced than these.
Many assume @lensprotocol is just following the usual airdrop blueprint and will reward anyone who made a couple of posts and has a 2 digit follower count. This narrative has been pushed on tweetr by threadoors to farm engagement - read on to learn what our research revealed **👇**
1️⃣ Lens target business model
2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops
3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project
Now let’s review each 🔎
**1️⃣ Lens target business model**
If you were at Lens 1st Twitter Spaces last yr you’d notice that the entire chat was about artists + music NFTs. @stani.lens keeps on posting about the same & even reached out to some rappers. He also hired ex-TikTok staff - app known for creative content
Use Lens advanced post search tool by @rickydata.lens and see how often Stani posts about this:
‘Music’ 👉46 posts
‘Rap’ 👉27 posts
..and so on
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0102cc-0x01a9
🧠 Conclusion: Lens is targeting indie creatives and wants them to be posting their content on Lens. You, random degen, is not their top priority as poster right now, sorry 🥲. You’re still wanted on Lens, but mainly as collector of their posts
Why target creatives?
Because artists can sell their art as NFTs on Lens and Lens can get a cut from these sales. This is a potential source of revenue that makes their business model sustainable over the long run
Also, if everyone starts buying & selling each others’ posts, it’ll make use of Lens’ key feature - you own your data and are free to monetise it. See the statements made in their Open Letter
Lens = social content marketplace
**2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops**
Stani is known as someone who doesn’t like to do airdrops. We think he means “standard” airdrops here that just reward every participant. But he clearly understands the pitfalls of just dropping a token to everyone who interacted with the platform.
🧠 Conclusion: content that adds value > random posts to game the system in the hopes of airdrop
Simply posting stuff on Lens that doesn’t generate any traction (non-viral content) and doesn’t add much value is unlikely to be determining factor imo
Still, Stani is Web3 native & understands that not rewarding early supporters is a lost game, especially for a project that requires social support. We may see some rewards for being early user, we just think that it’s unlikely the MAIN criteria
**3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project**
Based on the same Open Letter, Stani has big plans for Lens to challenge Web2 social media giants. If Lens is to take on TikTok & Twitter, it needs many more users than just Web3 natives. They need to reach ‘normies’
https://www.lens.xyz/letter
But right now there’s only 88k Lens handles with a post. Hard to say how many of these are Sybils. Compare this to Twitter and TikTok user base and global reach. We’re still early and normies aren’t here yet
https://dune.com/gm365/lens
🧠 Speculation: expect some creative way to incentivise normies to join Lens. $LENS content monetisation (social mining?). Vampire airdrop targeting top creators on YouTube, TikTok etc? Wouldn’t that be crazy & generate big mainstream buzz?
So what MIGHT happen, based on the above?
🌿 If there’s airdrop, simply minting Lens handle and sitting on it won’t do. This is not ENS
🌿 Creators that managed to generate a following and sales via collects (+those that collected their NFTs) might stand higher chance of rewards
🌿 Buildors (Lenster, Orb, Lenstube etc) might also get allocation just like we have seen with Arbitrum and Optimism Stack. It could be up to the projects then how to use this allocation - some might choose to reward past users, some might choose to do incentives
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 Introduce monetisation where the more engagement your post gets (via paid collects for example), the more $LENS you get. Similar to liquidity mining but on a social media app. Social mining? Think monetisation on YouTube
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 As mentioned above - vampire airdrop to creatives with a following on current Web2 social media. They would then have to shift to Web3 if they want to claim their tokens. Would be a big onboarding event for their followers too
Gaming the criteria will be almost impossible, abuse is avoided thanks to @sismo zkdrop - to get an idea how it could look like, check out Sismo Ethereum Influencer ZK-badge:
https://app.sismo.io/twitter-ethereum-influencers
🌿 Being early supporter might still play a role.
But quality posts > quantity, plus focusing on what Lens team is focusing on atm (supporting creatives by collecting their paid posts) might be a better alpha play. So create good paid content or collect it from others
**What action to take if you have no coding skills and aren’t a creative talent?**
🌿 be consistent: try to switch to Lens protocol as your preferred social media platform, interact with other active users daily
Stay tuned, we will drop more opportunities for our subscribers to actively interact on Lens protocol in a fun way - promised!
@punkess.lens has got you covered with the most extensive resource on how to get started on Lens:
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1452
🌿 become a collector: most paid collects are fairly cheap <10 WMATIC, a good start is to collect this post! Don’t miss this opportunity, we’ll give away our KoruDAO NFT to 1 lucky collector! #LMMC this post to enter the fair raffle via @lensdropxyz.lens 👇
@korudao.lens is the first DAO owned Lens account, the 282 KoruDAO NFT holders are able to post on Lens protocol from a 10k subs account. The projects was started by the OG’s from @gelato.lens and is currently in the process of finding a consensus between DAO members (=NFT holders) to provide the most value to the DAO over short time goals from individual members. An interesting experiment to say the least and hence the NFTs floorprice on OS is currently at $285.

- Hello everyone! 👋
I'm thrilled to be joining the Lens community to share my insights on Web3 VC and market trends. 🚀
As a passionate investor and observer of the space, I'll be focusing on a few core verticals: Web3 Social, Infrastructure/Middleware, and Accessible DeFi.
In Web3 Social, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the latest social media platforms and decentralised social networks such as Lens Protocol. In Infrastructure/Middleware, I'll explore topics like scaling solutions and network interoperability. And in Accessible DeFi, I'll be sharing interesting novel projects exploring how DeFi can be made more accessible to everyone.
If you're interested in staying up-to-date on the latest Web3 investment thesis and market trends, be sure to follow me. I'll be dropping articles soon and can't wait to engage with this community of fellow Web3 enthusiasts!

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [April 2023 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.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens (iOS) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
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.

This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.

- We've integrated Lens Protocol 🌱🏰
What does this mean?
You can now create roles in a guild, based on someone:
- having a Lens profile
- following someone on Lens
- collecting a post
- mirroring a post
Lens requirements are composable with any combination of:
- fungible and non-fungible tokens on 17 chains
- over a dozen on-chain and VC integrations
- off-chain social data from Twitter, Discord and GitHub
All this to create roles and gated areas in Discord, Telegram, Google Workspace, GitHub and anywhere else with the Guild SDK.
Interoperability for communities is slowly but surely coming together.
