- 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

- @flavdotio.lens @watchereth.lens
- Love warms more than a thousand fires.
- First impression of you is most lasting.
- I know I go on about this stuff and I apologize to anyone bored by it but I’ve been analyzing social networks since 2004, before we even understood them to be “social networks.” I understand incentives, moats, feedback loops, flywheels, etc…This is not guesswork, it’s 19 years of watching networks compete and determining why winners won and losers failed. I firmly believe Lens has the best structural model for our future. It’s obvious to me. So I’m sorry if you’ve heard this before but I’m going to keep going on and on about this until stuff actually gets built (and I know it will):
NFTs enable social networks.
They are data in a shared database.
Anyone can take that data and build an app which uses it.
If you reverse this stack it becomes infinitely easier to build everything:
Anyone can build any app.
Put the data for that app in the shared database.
Social networks can form around the data.
***********************
Data Creation
***********************
Social networks require data creation to survive. To get and retain more users you need more data being created. This is difficult. Most people on a social network never (or rarely) create content. This is known as the 90-9-1 Rule:
90% of users lurk
9% contribute a little
1% account for almost all of the content
TikTok has incredible solutions for this: Stitches, Duets, etc. Remixing existing data makes it easier for users to create.
The apps on Lens so far have been mostly focused on getting web2-type creators to create data. “Here’s my photo, here’s my music. Please pay me and you get a digital receipt.”
The creators here trying to break that mold (myself included!) are doing so haphazardly. In a database where anyone can create any type of data, the creators here are creating data in their own formats. I’m using my collected posts differently than @arterlioz.lens is which is different than how @chaoticmonk.lens is which is different than how @jessyjeanne.lens is.
Standards enable faster creation:
When Instagram created tools for square photos + filters people were able to quickly create data in that format.
When Instagram enabled carousels, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
When Instagram created Stories, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
When Instagram created Reels, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
Instagram doesn’t allow users to upload any random data, they create the tools first. The tools determine what the data looks like. A Reel is a very specific type of data in a database, for example.
In my opinion, almost all of web3 suffers this problem. Web3 is focused on creating the data first and figuring out the tools later. I’m trying to point out that doing the opposite will achieve faster, greater results.
Create the tool first.
Use NFTs as the data.
Reddit Avatars are a great example of building the tool first.
***********************
Collects
***********************
Right now collecting posts here is like Facebook + Patreon. It’s mildly interesting.
Remember the 90-9-1 rule?
Data Sovereignty is niche. The 1% care. The 90% don’t care about the database they’re using, they want to consume engaging content.
Lens’ Super Power:
Collects are a data creation flywheel!
Collecting is a new form of data/content creation. Lens’ biggest advantage by far has been almost completely ignored to date.
Collecting turns the 90% into creators. Incentivizing collecting means more data is created, more users become creators, and more creators are incentivized to create on Lens.
**************************
I beg any and all devs to please think of this stack when building here:
-Build an app with very specific data.
-Use NFTs (collects) as the database.
Incentivize collecting by utilizing the collects as data in your app. Usage, creation, and adoption will skyrocket for those who focus on the “collecting” side of the creator/collector equation.

- 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.

- Overview of Daniel Allan's Artist Seed Round Raise
I wanted to upload the full podcast to Lenstube today, but 'm having difficulty uploading the whole thing because the file is so huge and it'sdifficult to upload to Arweave and I had to bridge some MATIC and my Brave wallet kept disconnecting during the upload blah blah blah
SO anyway, here's a clip of Daniel Allan giving an overview of what investors are buying into with his recent raise
- Pain past is pleasure.
- oh wow I like this one ✨
- Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
- I think I'm done with Starknet. I can't be bothered with it anymore, such a pain in the ass to even do the simplest thing, and it's ecosystem is completely dead. I think ive seen more projects go radio silent than any going live at this point 😩
- Do i need to do anything with my @braavos.lens wallet ?

- Understanding Crypto Tokenomics: A Comprehensive Overview on Supply, Demand, and Incentives :
What is Tokenomics?
Crypto tokenomics refers to the economics and mechanisms behind the creation, distribution, and use of cryptoassets and tokens. It includes factors such as supply and demand, token utility, and network effects that can affect the value and adoption of a cryptocurrency.
Evaluating through Supply, Demand, and Incentives:
Supply refers to the number of tokens that exist, and how they are distributed. For example, if a token has a limited supply, it may be more valuable than a token with an unlimited supply. Additionally, how tokens are distributed can also impact their value. Tokens that are widely distributed may have a lower value than tokens that are more concentrated in the hands of a few individuals.
Demand refers to the desire for the token. A high demand for a token can increase its value, while a low demand can decrease its value. Factors that can influence demand include the token's utility, its use case, and its perceived value.
Incentives refer to the mechanisms that encourage individuals to hold or use the token. For example, a token that offers staking rewards may incentivize individuals to hold onto the token, while a token that offers discounts on a particular product may incentivize individuals to use the token.
Here are some examples of tokenomics in action:
Bitcoin: Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 million coins, which is slowly released through mining rewards. This limited supply, combined with the high demand for the token, has made Bitcoin a valuable asset.
Ethereum: Ethereum has a dual token system, with ETH used as the primary currency and other tokens created on the Ethereum blockchain. ETH is used to pay for transaction fees and is also used as collateral for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Uniswap: Uniswap is a decentralized exchange that uses its own token, UNI, as a governance token. UNI holders have the power to propose and vote on changes to the Uniswap protocol.
Free Tokenomics Checklist:
If you're interested in evaluating the tokenomics of a cryptocurrency, here's a free tokenomics checklist you can use:
1. Supply: How many tokens are in circulation? Is the supply limited or unlimited?
2. Distribution: How are the tokens distributed? Are they widely distributed or concentrated in the hands of a few individuals?
3. Utility: What is the token's use case? Does it have a specific utility or function?
4. Demand: Is there a high demand for the token? What factors influence the token's demand?
5. Incentives: What incentives are in place to encourage individuals to hold or use the token? Are there any staking rewards, discounts, or other incentives?
By considering these factors, you can better understand the tokenomics of a cryptocurrency and make informed investment decisions.

- **Improvements in this release**
🛠️ Simplified integration for React web apps. Install and import from `@lens-protocol/react-web` with less configuration.
🔐 Token-gated support: You can now create encrypted posts and comments which can only be read by users that match the criteria you define.
🪪 Active profile is automatically wired as the Observer ID of all relevant queries. Doing so the Lens SDK provides a cohesive view of the data that is relevant to the eye of the Active Profile.
**What's new?**
- New `@lens-protocol/react-web` package for a simplified React web apps integration
- Token-gated posts and comments
- Cohesive data fetching using Active Profile as Observer ID
- Enhanced fields for `ProfileStats` and `PublicationStats`
- Added `appId` to LensConfig. Allows you to identify posts created by your app. You can then use the `sources` to filter posts by the same App ID
- Added `useProfilesOwnedByMe`
- Added `useProfilePublicationsForSale`
- The way @beatsapp.lens is crushing our own high scores for independent musicians every week just blows my mind.
Music is definitely social I think we’ve proven that over and over. For everyone who’s still in doubt to wether Music on Lens is here to stay…
I think me and the team have shown countless times we’re just getting started 😎 + we def got the strongest music community on Lens by milessss
