- What do most people talk about on Hey?
- Interacting with @Scroll_ZKP protocols to test out the ecosystem but unsure which DEX to use...
DefiLlama lists the following protocols on Scroll, and some of the native protocols (highlighted in red) have very low TVL
Is there any worthy scroll-native dex yet?

- Recently, AI has taken the world by storm, with ChatGPT tweets and use cases growing day by day.
I have been following crypto with passion since 2020, so I couldn't help but feel a bit worried at crypto/blockchain being overshadowed by AI (very selfish thought, I know - in the end, AI is pretty great)
However, these worries have been put to rest in the last few days, as I came across a very interesting article that reconciled crypto and AI.
To quote the article:
"It feels like AI and crypto are mathematical evil twins of sorts; that each is somehow deeply incomplete without the other [...] AIs can be used to generate “deep fakes” while cryptographic techniques can be used to reliably authenticate things against such fakery. Flipping it around, crypto is a target-rich environment for scammers and hackers, and machine learning can be used to audit crypto code for vulnerabilities".
It's true: on Instagram, I keep seeing videos of "AI-Drake" songs and other fake digital assets (assets here are not meant in the sense of tokens, but rather digital assets such as songs/videos/voice memos/etc.). **It's almost as if AI presented the world with a problem, and gave blockchain the opportunity to solve it.**
I'm not exactly sure what to make of this information currently, but I'll be exploring this topic in the coming days.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd be happy to hear them. I'll link the article below if anyone is interested in reading it: https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/the-dawn-of-mediocre-computing

- To all the airdrop hunters who are trying to become eligible for the Starknet airdrop, Braavos (one of the wallets you can use to interact with Starknet) just claimed they have a Starknet score that is calculated based on the number of Starknet dapps used
Link for the campaign: https://braavos.app/explore-starknet-dapps-ecosystem/
Could be useful to follow this campaign for all the fellow airdrop hunters

Bonsai support is now live on Buttrfly
- Gathering some info on projects working on decentralized identity and credentials
Any noteworthy mentions?
- Been looking into the hottest current narratives in crypto, and I'm going to share what I've found tomorrow.
I compiled a short list of narratives and projects within those narratives
- Trying to allocate my portfolio on a narratives basis, and these are the current narratives I'm following (with returns expected over a 6-month horizon):
- LSDs (catalyst: upcoming Shanghai upgrade)
- Arbitrum coins (catalyst: ARB aidrop)
- ZKEVMs (catalyst: Polygon ZkEVM launching on mainnet)
Any other important narratives that I'm missing currently?
- Just tested out Rabby wallet and it is miles ahead of Metamask.
In a few months with EIP 4377 (account extraction) only boomers or normies will still be on Metamask
- https://twitter.com/GammaSwapLabs/status/1642912831384199171
Very interesting piece on a new protocol called GammaSwap
TL: DR - GammaSwap wants to act as an additional layer for DEXes, and helps LPs a) earn higher fees and b) turn impermanent losses into gains through some gigachad mechanisms
- Elon changing the twitter logo to Doge got me bullish on meme coins
- Anyone have any good reading material on account abstraction?
- Just claimed my $ARB tokens.
Today was a good day.
- Arbitrum $ARB token confirmed!
If anyone wants to check their eligibility, here's the link: https://arbitrum.foundation
Happy airdrop everyone
- Trying to find a platform that shows upcoming token launches on DEXes/CEXes. Does anyone know of such aggregators?
- Has anyone used other wallets besides Metamask/coinbase that also have good mobile UI?
- If you missed the gains from Camelot DEX's $GRAIL token, then this post is for you
Yesterday, I participated in Orbital DEX's AMA, and it was filled with alpha.
Orbital is an Arbitrum-native DEX that is dual layer. The first layer is a Base AMM and the second layer is options integrations to protect users from IL.
The project has also confirmed a three-token model 🪂🪂🪂
Built by the minds behind Plutus and Dopex, it seems to be a very promising project.
If you're interested in more, here's a high level medium article covering yesterday's AMA
https://medium.com/@OrbitalDEX/base-amm-fc901cd6ddf8
TL: DR
Orbital DEX wants to combine Solidly's x3y + xy3 = k formula and the A-factor model pioneered by Curve to have extremely efficient stableswaps.
They also want to use Balancer's variable weight pools model for greater flexibility.
@olimpio.lens this might be of interest to you
- Been recently looking into on-chain reputation and under-collateralized un-collateralized Defi lending: Atlendis seems to be a cool protocol in this space
Anyone else following Defi/on-chain identity protocols that are tackling the capital inefficiency problem of Defi?
- Day 3 of improving Degenscore:
Today's activities were pretty basic and I just LP on Uniswap V3. I also saw that scroll (zk-evm) has an alpha testnet, so I participated in that but since its on Goerli, I doubt it counts towards on-chain reputation.
For those curious about the scroll tesnet here it is: https://scroll.io/alpha
- Totally hear you on the paid handles. I wonder what the strategy is here @stani.lens @christina.lens @bradorbradley.lens - is it to stop an absolute FLOOD to Lens before the bugs are ironed out? I'd love to see more quality content on Lens, and less "AI girls" which drive me nuts!
I think too, better education around the different monetisation models would help - i've actually run sessions for companies helping them understand why @lensprotocol is so different and they're in love afterwards.
I also think once i've managed to get what i'm working on out the door it'll help 🙂 If you're technical - DM me 🙂 😉
- Day 2 of improving Degenscore:
Yesterday, I did 2 things:
- Bridged some funds from L1 ETH to Aztec Network (zk.money)
- Supplied some liquidity on Balancer (MAGIC-USDC pool) and then staked the resulting LP tokens to earn extra yield
The Degenscore gets recalculated daily or so, so I haven't been able to see the impact of these actions in real time.
Will keep you guys updated on how these actions have impacted my score, and will also post later on today's actions
- Tried out Degenscore and noticed I don't have a Degenscore of 700 (threshold to start building an on-chain reputation).
Gonna do a series on daily actions that are going to help me improve my Degenscore (https://degenscore.com/beacon)
Fyi I started out yesterday with a Degenscore of 138 (pretty trash i know) and recently bumped it up to 181.
How?
Staking some ETH on Lido and receiving staked Lido ETH (stETH) in return. I then supplied this stETH to an LP pool (stETH - ETH) on Curve Finance.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's action
- Was talking with @markh this morning on why so little thread-like/educational web3 content is present on Lens (vs. Twitter) , and how this could change in the future?
Interested in hearing what other people think of this aspect

- Any orb users here?
- GM!
Any useful defi/digital identity accounts on Lens?
Most accounts I'm seeing in the explore page are focused on art
Let's build together
- The amount of "Yasai means vegetable in japanese" posts I'm seeing got me hype for the future of Lens
- Seeing a lot of comments about how people have built an audience faster on Lens than on Twitter.
Curious to see why everyone thinks this?
Personally, I believe its because its still very new so there's no information overload from so many accounts and/or bots, which in turn leads to higher account visibility.
Still have to figure out how to take my own advice and grow my audience 😅
- I am very happy to participate in PHI activities
#Yasai
- Phi and Lens合作的这个活动建议做一下 https://quest.philand.xyz/campaign/lens-yasai
#Yasai
- Okay I'm bored today. What's to do with the #Yasai hype going on ?
- Sooooooooooooooooo Cool place @philand.lens
#Yasai
- I just started exploring Phi Quests and Phi Land on @philand. Seems pretty interesting so far. Phi is backed by people like Stani and David and Ryan from Bankless. Also, they recently raised a $2m seed round led by Delphi and Chapter One.
#Yasai
- To all those participating in the Yasai campaign, which post needs to be collected for the leaderboard?
Is it the #yasai one or another one that's done after?
(If you wanna collect this post, anon, to help me test out my theory, much appreciated 😉 )
- Follow , Mirror and Earn Rewards
- Has anyone had any problems uploading their Polygon NFTs to Lens, tried with various ones but every time it says it can't find the NFT?
- Gm everyone
- Post has been deleted, but seems like an airdrop is getting closer and closer
Lets stay active and keep building on here
- What will happen to lens profile NFTs on Opensea when lens becomes available to everyone? I'm guessing the price is going to tank like crazy
- This campaign by @philand.lens and @lensprotocol really is gonna be huge
First time seeing people incentivized to collaborate on lens
- Anyone else participating in the Yasai campaign? Let's connect!
#Yasai
- @stani.lens any reason why @orbapp.lens and @phaverapp.lens are available only as apps?
If its to advance blockchain mobile adoption, well done cuz it seems to be working
- Trying to build a community on Lens, and wondering if a follow-for-follow approach would work\n\n**Let's try this**: I give you a brief description of what I'm working on in the comments, if you like it/want to hear more about it throw me a follow to learn more info. I'll follow back to learn about your area of expertise. \n\nEven if you're not interested in what I'm building, drop a comment specifying what you're working on, if this post gets enough visibility, maybe others will find your comments and follow you. \n\nLet's collectively get better and spread knowledge!
- Any tips on how to build a following on Lens?
