Hey Guys...Bull run just started...
I still get DMs and emails that look like this. Not many people focus on 'absorption' of the reader. All you need is, Headline with ask/result. • Dot point • Dot point • Dot point How I/you can help. And that's all. If I can't absorb within 5 seconds I skip.
take 50-100 screenshots on my iPhone a week. Great way to capture info/thumbnails/ideas etc. But I have NO IDEA how to compartmentalise this so I can access them in an efficient way. Anyone have a solution? Basically there’s 3,000+ random screenshots in my photos album 😅
I was the worst student at Uni. (Civil Engineering). - Never went to class - Did assignments last minute - Hated theory Now I wake up 5am and can work all day without taking a break if I wanted to. All through an obsession with web3/Metaverse. If I look back, I wish I never wasted time doing something, (a 4 yr degree in engineering), I wasn't extremely obsessed about. Compared to doing something you ARE obsessed about, the energy and satisfaction levels are worlds apart.
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

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves...meet the native hyperscaling solution for Lens, Momoka! Momoka is an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyperscale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users. 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 Momoka. Momoka serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Momoka 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. Momoka makes the future of decentralized social possible. We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens 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. Since yesterday, Momoka is already being beta tested on Lenster, Lenstube, Orb, Buttrfly and Phaver. We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Momoka. To make it easier to find any transaction made with Momoka, we built the Momoka Explorer (http://momoka.lens.xyz) to track and find Momoka transactions and to monitor the throughput speed of Momoka.

For the first time in 2 years I slept 8+ hrs last night. Uninterrupted. I feel like amazing. Having a kid + crypto + founder + occasional late night NFT degen has previously made this impossible.

Podcast NFTs are back with a Lens Protocol exclusive ft. Christina Beltramini. This drop celebrates S7E15 with @christina - an eye-opening conversation covering her time growing web2 social at TikTok to now growing web3 social at Lens. From championing the curator to breaking down the new era of user-generated content, our session dives into a ton. The inspiration behind this drop stems from the realization that a creator's community of collectors will surpass its community of followers. Lens currently embodies this best and has enabled a new experiment between the intersection of content distribution and collection. I've been active on here for months now and consistently get more engagement across web3 social, though I have yet to experiment with its full potential. That changes tomorrow. Drop details: When: Thursday (tomorrow), 12 PM PST Where: On Lens (URL texted Thursday) Format: 24 hr open edition Collect: 1 $WMATIC (You **do not** need a Lens profile to collect). Since I'm dropping this native on Lens, I will not be using my website. Rather, I'll be sending a brief text + URL to collect via Laylo. 🔗 RSVP to get notified when we're live: https://laylo.com/levy/aG9OY
Christina Beltramini: How Web3 Enables A New Era Of User-Generated Content I'm so excited to reveal my first Podcast NFT drop, exclusive to the Lens ecosystem. **Format** 24 hr open edition, 1 $WMATIC, 10% referral fee. **About the episode** Mint Season 7 Episode 15 welcomes Christina Beltramini, Head of Growth and Chief Scheming Officer at Lens Protocol, to discuss the ever-growing world of web3 social. Throughout our discussion, we cover topics such as online identity, her article highlighting the next era of user-generated content, and Lens Protocol’s plan to empower a wider class of creators and curators. Christina also shares her aspirations for building a better internet, an overview of Lens’ developer ecosystem, and the lessons learned while working at TikTok that she’s applying while building the Lens ecosystem. Furthermore, we dive into the importance of content remixing, the latest developments in the Lens ecosystem, and how creators can monetize their work using Lens. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

hello lens 💜 i’m so thrilled to be here. i've been involved in this ecosystem since 2017 and despite the ups and downs i'm still so excited and enthusiastic about how this technology can empower artists to break away from the music industrial complex. more importantly, allow creators to connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. it's the best time ever to be an independent artist. although my main gig has always been music, i've always been a visually oriented person. in fact, in 2002 i almost went to design school instead of music. i often wonder how things would have turned out. i've been lucky enough to work with amazing visual artists over the years to craft album artwork and a cohesive vision, but lately i've been dabbling with creating my own. which brings me to this image, an abstract architectural space, somewhat liminal but i find it weirdly comforting. it's a free collectible for following me on this journey. i'll be posting music, art, video and combinations of all three. a million thanks to the lens team for helping me get the coveted 3 letter handle. ✨
Every AI tool is eventuality going to be free imo. ChatGPT is powerful but there’ll be something just as powerful for free in <2 years. Also AI tools will build other AI tools:‘ChatGPT, write me an AI tool that does ___’
NFT Twitter was beautiful pre-2020 No reply guys, no scammers, no engagement farming, just pure creativity and innovation. These days it’s hard to find true innovators and creators through the noise. Love everyone here, just much tougher to navigate.
If ChatGPT could auto respond to my emails and DMs auto delegating and opening opportunities that would be sweet. My biggest bottleneck is my time/energy. Someone build this. I’m ready to duplicate my consciousness.
gm video creators of Lens! 🌿 Excited to announce the highly-requested feature - **video views** 👀 is now live on #Lenstube! This is a basic but important metric for creators to understand how their videos are performing. For now, you can find the video view count on the video page itself. View count registers start views with deduping logic that prevents users from attempting to inflate view counts. In the future, we'll support additional viewership and engagement metrics so you can better understand popularity and performance. What other metrics do you want to see for Lenstube?

Hey!, my name is Benjamin Gutiérrez, one of the founders of Wav3s 🤝 and I'm here to tell you the story of how I went from a regular job to living my dream of working full-time on Wav3s. At the end of 2021, together with @cristianvaldivia.lens , another Wav3s founder, we decided to leave our start-up at the peak of success. We were working like crazy without much remuneration, but it was impossible to scale, since we were working with hardware. We knew we wanted to take the plunge and dive into the world of Web 3, since our team meetings always ended up with us discussing the exciting world of blockchain. We had a couple of ideas, but nothing concrete - so each one of us went our own way. I spent the next year automating processes in several companies, while still studying up to launch myself into entrepreneurship in Web3. The second semester of 2022 changed everything. With Cristian, we attended our first crypto event in Argentina - and it just so happened that it was on my birthday! It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had, getting to know the crypto community and projects like Poap , which helped us a lot to connect with more people. But the highlight of the week was when Stani talked about Lens protocol - it blew my head off! 🤯 When I arrived back in Chile, I was disappointed to find that there was not the same level of community and activity. I apply to become a Polygon Guild Mage, to create the Polygon community in Chile. Hundreds of people applied, and luckily I was chosen - I think my travels to Argentina helped. Thanks to being a Polygon Guild Mage, I was given a scholarship to Devcon. We participated in the Hackathon and I still think we should have won a prize, because our product was really good - and the product work perfectly. We created a humanity verification system with Poap, so if you shared POAPs with another person, you could validate them as human - a simple, but useful idea to fight bots. 🤖 Although our project, Verify me or Soureal, didn't work out, I still have a lot of affection for it. We had the chance to meet the entire Lens team, including Stani, and they invited us to rAave and more. 🤗 When we returned to Chile, we met @bvdaniel.lens , the other Wav3s founder, and tested a couple of ideas within the Lens ecosystem. When we made it public on Lens, nobody tested it or even liked it. We felt completely unnoticed, so we decided to create Wav3s, so that everyone could spread their publications through Lens - and the growth it has had, and all the support we've received, still amazes. The conclusion of this story is that one decision can open or close a world of opportunities - so don't be afraid to take a risk, because you may find something even better! 🤩
