- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [June 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 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. @jeanmi.lens increased his followers +5k within 39 days. How he did it? "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to ‘GM'"
One more one more thing ;-) the latest notification update shows notifications for profiles one follows and a few other profiles only (if the filter isn’t deactivetd). -> at the time of writing it’s quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. 2 approaches to get some visibility:
**[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.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 @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining the next “little lens game” edition :-) https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1407 . The little lens games intends to be fun (of course :-)) and requires to follow other lens profiles for 24/48 hours closely. -> your content will have at least some exposure to people beyond your followers. (Please let me know if you would like to join.)
**[3]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food)
**[4]** consider contributing content to the weekly “this week on lens” series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x18c1 ) or other content threads.
**[5]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.

- ✌️
- See through our Lens
- Today marks our 1 Year Anniversary of making friends onchain 🎂!
Thank you to everyone who has made the first year of Lens Protocol so special and groundbreaking. Lens has brought together builders, creators, communities, and friends, all while in beta.
There's so much planned for the second year ahead, and we can't wait to continue to grow with all of you.
Who did you become frens with on Lens?
🎨 by @nftsushi.lens and all collect proceeds go directly to the artist.
- Introducing the Lens SDK – your new go-to toolkit to create powerful experiences & applications for the social layer of Web3.
Developers rejoice! We have lowered the barrier to entry and made it easier than ever to create innovative, powerful, and engaging Lens apps and experiences. With the new Lens SDK you can plug into the Web3 social layer with just 10 lines of code.
Pick and choose the features you want - only the components you use contribute to the final size of your app bundles. These capabilities are all handled by the Lens SDK, allowing developers to focus on their core features.
The SDK is modular and composable. It seamlessly integrates with other Web3 projects, protocols, and tools such as @litprotocol.lens to enable token-gated publications.
Mobile apps have been some of the biggest success stories on Lens. The new SDK doubles down on mobile support, starting with React Native. With the SDK, you can build polished mobile apps without underlying knowledge of the Lens API or Lens Protocol.
Come build the future on the social layer of Web3.
Get started in our dev docs: https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/sdk-react-intro and dive into our latest blog here: https://mirror.xyz/lensprotocol.eth/LtJBLD6zX_P9EYdsJ2DrT9RaCbiE2vvtajF4Md6wHr0
- Meet AlphaBot ⚡
Behind the scenes in Earndrop we have been working for the last 6 months on a way to deliver Alpha in an easy to use, convenient format in Discord.
Inside AlphaBot ⚡ you will find lists of projects across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM, zK Era & Bridges that do not yet have a token, the potential for airdrops resulting from legitimate use of these projects is large as we all know. There is also a list of testnets to explore.
Join our Discord https://discord.gg/earndrop then type the /airdrops command in any relevant channel to bring up an interactive menu visible only to you.
We are giving a special limited time role of @ALPHABOT TESTER to anyone who tries the bot, the role is applied automatically once you type /airdrops
At this point in time the bot is under heavy development and should be considered in open beta stage.
We have some seriously interesting things planned for the next version & actively encourage you to provide feedback, suggestions and requests by DM to mystri.eth#2296
A heartfelt thank-you to the people that contributed to the development of this project.
Stay tuned for V1 in the near future.

- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

- gm **4/20** 👋

- **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.

- おはよう @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
The Lens team is on the ground and we're so excited to bring the social layer of web3 to Japan.
We have $20k in prizes for the hackathon!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
🎖️ 10 best Lens Integrations for nullk each
Lens is web3 native meaning it’s simple to build native payment features directly into your app. Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries, and in a permissionless way. Premium content, token-gated rewards, tipping, crowdfunding, subscription services, referral, and affiliate programs are just a handful of the countless types of integrations you can build with Lens.
Looking for some inspiration?
- We're still in the early innings of AI and ML and want to see more devs utilizing the latest innovations from OpenAI, Replicate, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Dust just to name a few. Imagine the possibilities when web3 social intersects with AI/ML 🤯
- You could use AI/ML to analyze a user’s feed over the course of a few days and condense it into a single view so they can visit less often and still be up to date with what’s the latest and greatest.
- Or create a social learning platform that uses AI to create personalized learning paths for users. It could assess users' knowledge levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and provide real-time
feedback and guidance.
- You could use Lens profiles specifically for your gaming identity. Imagine your in-game items and high scores attached to your Lens profile and you curate a Lens leaderboard for the community.
- Bust a move! Build an app that lets users participate in virtual dance-off challenges. Users can record and upload their dances, challenge friends or random users, and compete for the elusive best dancer on Lens title 💃🕺
- Build a community app for @galverse.lens on Lens that utilizes the Splits for Collects feature (https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/create-post-typed-data#multirecipientfeecollectmodule) and you'll help with the development of the anime, character design, story, and more.
- Imagine using the Collect module for more exclusive content such as event ticketing.
- How about building a governance forum specifically for Lens users? gm DAOs 🤔
- Calling all pet lovers out there. Create a social platform where users can showcase their pets' talents, tricks, and general awesomeness. Users can upload videos of their pets and participate in virtual talent shows, with categories like "Best Trick," and "Funniest Moment"
- Want to bridge that gap from web2 social to web3? Build a site that shows you the most followed people that have used a site (maybe the 🐦 app) or help users connect their web2 account and generate a ZKP for mapping.
- Or a Lens creator dashboard for tracking post analytics (engagement, collects, revenue, etc) and helping you find your 1000 true fans.
- Maybe you find yourself collecting every post from one of the 100k profiles already on Lens. Create a module to “subscribe” to someone and automatically collect everything the post within certain parameters.

- 📚 **Fun fact about posts on #Lens!**
They can be hosted on either centralized or decentralized resources.
Decentralized ones cannot be deleted. A better name for the "Delete" button (@lenster.lens) in this case would be "Hide" because, technically, it is more accurate. Such a post can still be viewed even after deletion.
On the other side, centralized ones can be deleted if you or anyone else can access the centralized host. Or better, if a post owner can delete it, he can also change the content. So, when you see a post, you can only be sure that the content will stay the same once you know whether it is centralized or not (better not to believe in bet predictions on Lens, right?).
And since comments are technically still posts (but with a reference), we can edit them as well and make some dirty game. In general, there will be no edit tracks unless the comment's content has been uploaded to some sort of archive.
That was my first thought, but then I dug a little deeper. The trick won't work with the default Lens indexer that everyone uses nowadays because it indexes posts only once after transaction confirmation on #Polygon. So, basically, it copies your post to the indexer's DB, and later, when you use Lenster or some other client, you don't get the data from the actual post's content URL but from this DB.
I wondered why it works like that because this means the indexer's DB won't represent the actual state of the blockchain in some cases. I've written in the Lens Discord, and the answers were as follows:
https://discord.com/channels/918178320682733648/1080136391989669989/1080230235854864446
@cesare.lens: "To be clear the blockchain data is not changed, on-chain each post|comment has a content URI that cannot be changed. The contentURI has to point to a public location. From an immutability perspective a "purist" would argue to use an immutable data storage (e.g. IPFS) still the Lens Protocol does not stop you to use a URL you control. The indexer is driven primarily by on-chain events to determine what and when to fetch contentURI. Updating the file won't cause a chain event so simply updating the file won't work."
@wagmi.lens: "We will add a refresh endpoint soon it's on the radar"

- ARB distribution model was designed by Nansen 🔵 🦅
+2,300,000 addresses bridged to Arbitrum before the snapshot.
Online 625,143 were eligible for ARB. Only around 30%!
What can we learn from their report?
5 key take-aways so you don't get excluded from airdrops ⚡
1/5
Eligibility Criteria:
- Conducted transactions: number, value, and time thresholds
- Arbitrum Nova: bridging & conducted transactions
- Dapps and Governance activity
- Liquidity providing
💡 Take-away: the more different activities, the better. Be active!
2/5
USD Value. I know this is a given, but it's important to stress out.
• The majority of wallets transact on small USD amounts
• The majority of wallets got small airdrops (USD value terms)
💡 Take-away: more volume = bigger airdrop. But you didn't need to be a whale to get it!
3/5
The number of transactions
• The majority of the wallets made 1-2 transactions (1M+ wallets)
• Only 100k wallets made 50-100 transactions
Median = 3
Average = 28
💡 Take-away: more transactions = more valuable airdrop.
Become a recurring user.
4/5
Sybil wallets:
• The Arbitrum Foundation wanted to exclude sybil wallets from getting the $ARB airdrop
• Sybil wallets = wallets with similar/fake activity, with the pure intention of hunting for an airdrop
• 172k wallets excluded
💡 Take-away: be user, not a "hunter"
5/5
Negative criteria ⚠️
This is a new concept: some actions subtracted points, i.e. they hurt the user's individual points to get ARB.
These users got less ARB:
• All transactions in a 48h period
• Interacted with only 1 smart contract
• Low ETH balance in Snapshot day
There's a lot more data in their official report.

$ARB is coming TOMORROW 🔵 🦅
A quick guide on how to be prepared:
• how to claim faster
• how to LP
• how to buy/sell/snipe faster
Don't get front-run 🐵 👇
1/12
🐵 CUSTOM RPC
$ARB is launching in Arbitrum One chain.
With the Optimism #1 Airdrop, the network saw a lot of stress and their RPC went down. This could also happen tomorrow.
Solution: create your own RPC endpoint.
2/12
🐵 CUSTOM RPC
In this example, we will be using AlchemyPlatform:
1. Create an Account 🔗 auth.alchemy.com/signup (free plan, skip when asked for credit card details)
2. Go to your Dashboard: dashboard.alchemy.com
3. Click on the "Create app" button at the top right
3/18
🐵 CUSTOM RPC
4. Create an App for Arbitrum
5. Get your RPC https URL from Alchemy
4/18
🐵 CUSTOM RPC
6. Go to MetaMask and add a Custom RPC
7. For the Custom RPC, enter → your Alchemy URL, Chain ID 42161, ETH as currency, and https://arbiscan.io as the block explorer
8. Done ✅
5/18
🐵 ARB PRE-APPROVAL
• How to front-run the opportunity even more?
Pre-approve the contract to take advantage faster and allow @ARB to be traded in exchanges.
This can be done with the most popular protocols (@1inch, @Uniswap)
6/18
🐵 ARB PRE-APPROVAL
• This is $ARB contract: 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548 (compare it to 🔗 docs.arbitrum.foundation/deployment-addresses)
• Uniswap V2 & V3 Router:
0x4c60051384bd2d3c01bfc845cf5f4b44bcbe9de5
• 1inch smart contract: 0x1111111254EEB25477B68fb85Ed929f73A960582
7/18
🐵 ARB PRE-APPROVAL
1. Go to ARB smart contract > Write as Proxy: 🔗 https://arbiscan.io/token/0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548#writeProxyContract
2. Connect your wallet
3. Spender: Uniswap or 1inch
4. Amount: in the example, with 20000000000000000000000 you are approving 20,000 ARB to be traded by that smart contract
8/18
🐵 PREPARE ETH FOR GAS
Don't forget to send some ETH in advance to Arbitrum to cover gas fees when claiming.
Use:
• jumper.exchange
• bungee.exchange
(either bridge has a token yet 👀 🪂 )
💡 Gas tracker: pro.nansen.ai/multichain/arbitrum/gas-tracker
9/18
🐵 WHERE TO TRADE - DEX
I get asked a lot about where to trade certain tokens.
This will be useful for any token, not just $ARB.
There are two great tools that let users monitor every blockchain for pools: GeckoTerminal and DexScreener.
10/18
All you need to do is paste ARB's contract in their search bar:
• @GeckoTerminal: geckoterminal.com
• @dexscreener: dexscreener.com
And the websites will display all pools in DeFi that are trading that specific token, with liquidity and price info. 💥
11/18
🐵 WHERE TO TRADE - CEX
This also applies for general tokens. @Coingecko has a great section dedicated to the token's markets.
Go to CoinGecko's $ARB token page 🔗 coingecko.com/en/coins/arbitrum
Scroll down to the bottom, and check “markets”.
12/18
🐵 WHERE TO TRADE - CEX
Confirmed centralized exchanges that will be listing ARB
✅ Binance
✅ Bitfinex
✅ Kucoin
✅ ByBit
✅ OKX
✅ Gate (don't use this one, it's a piece of sh**)
✅ Bitmart
✅ Huobi
✅ Bitget
✅ Bitrue
✅ MEXC (don't use this one, it's a piece of sh**)
13/18
🐵 LIQUIDITY PROVISION
• Uniswap v3 allows single-sided LP.
You could potentially just LP your $ABR airdrop and not risk your "main funds", but your "airdrop" funds.
Why would you do this? To get interest. Transaction fees and APR in the initial launch hours are huge
14/18
🐵 LIQUIDITY PROVISION
• How does single-side liquidity work in Uniswap v3?
LPs can set the liquidity allocation price higher than the current market price if they provide the more valuable token, or lower than the market price if they provide the less valuable token.
15/18
🐵 LIQUIDITY PROVISION
This allows LPs to sell their position if the asset they provided increases in value, or buy more of the other asset if it continues to fall in price.
LP tokens are being replaced with an NFT (ERC-721).
16/18
🐵 LIQUIDITY PROVISION
There is already almost 4M USD in TVL in Uniswap for the ARB pools.
How do they do it? Users are LPing just USDC or just ETH (single-sided). v3 is more complex than v2, watch this video from @finematics to learn more:
🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehm-OYBmlPM
17/18
🐵 CLAIMING TIME
• People can claim the airdrop until Sep 23 2023.
• Claiming on the Arbitrum One chain will start when the Ethereum chain reaches block 16890400. That is on Thursday, in around 13 hours:
🔗 https://etherscan.io/block/countdown/16890400
Monitor the link to be ready
18/18
I hope this helps you learn a thing or to, and have an edge against the general market when deciding what to do with your airdrop.

- ** Warning, I tend to write a lot about growth marketing and this is one of those posts **
Over the weekend, I was playing around with GPT3 and having it create (through a script) arbitrary columns (in the 100s) in a CRM based on data attributes from company and contact accounts. I then had it write outreach scripts based on those attributes.
It can produce thousands of variations that are so good.
What I get excited about though, is the level of depth that customer personalization can go. It's not about spam, it's the opposite. It's designing systems that can learn and communicate at a personal level.
In my experience, my teams have been limited by sheer creative management capacity (you can't create 1,000 campaigns), but seeing that that requirement is dissipating right before our eyes.
Personally, I am so excited to watch this. What about you?
