- Just minted an insightful episode on Zora with Chintan Turakhia of Coinbase Wallet on a topic that's reshaping web3:
The transition of digital wallets into super apps.
Everyone can listen, but only a few can collect.
Here are 3 core themes covered within the hour:
**1. Moving beyond transactions**
We delved into the rapid evolution of digital wallets.
We're living in an exciting time where wallets morph beyond mere transaction tools to become integral parts of our digital identity and lifestyle.
**2. Wallets transition into super apps**
The concept of wallets as 'super apps' really stood out.
Imagine a future where your wallet is your gateway to a myriad of services, combining finance, identity, gaming, chatting, and much more in a unified platform.
**3. How creators can leverage the universal inbox**
His insight on how these super apps have the potential to revolutionize creator-audience interactions struck a nerve.
The concept of engaging platform-less audiences, users, customers, {{insert name}}, etc is slowly starting to materialize, and the opportunity for experimenting with this new distribution model is vast.
In a previous episode with Shane Mac from XMTP, we covered the steady adoption of wallet-to-wallet messaging and the new doors that open as a result.
For someone who's actively built a collector base across various networks, this feature stands out as one of the most thrilling developments from 2023’s bear cycle.
It's why we've been proactive in integrating it at @lens/bellosights.
Curious to see Chintan’s bets play out and how these core themes evolve in the next bull cycle.

- 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.

- We made an oof...
This name was already in use in the web3 space, and we want to respect that.
So... we're taking new name suggestions below 👇
- 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.

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.

- How to run a Momoka Verifier
This video walks through how to run a Momoka Verifier on your local machine 👟
The Momoka Verifier enables you to operate a trustless verifier node that validates LENS DA publications in real-time.
It can also serve as an indexer, allowing you to stream and index the data yourself.
This open-source solution relies exclusively on software that you can run independently, without any dependency on LENS.
This ensures that even if LENS were to cease operation, you would retain access to your content, maintain proof of ownership, and continue to utilize it, all thanks to a decentralized data availability storage layer.

- This song is about a musical tale across the Eastern Hemisphere. We want to take you on a meditative journey to distant lands of the ancient future, using audio, organic instruments & a few vocal samples, like the 'Om' that you’ll hear throughout 🔊
This song was recorded in our home studio in Miami, FL & it came together rather quickly, due to a flow state experience. Later on, we added a guitar riff that Karma recorded live. We hope you love it as much as we do!
