- Love this! Super cute depiction of how ZKPs work (kid friendly/George friendly) by zksync
- There is Twitter George, Tiktok George and Instagram George.
I feel like cross posting on Lens and Farcaster should be table stakes. Thanks @yup_io.lens
But in theory if I have two different wallets each connected to a different social graph with two ENSs then am I recreating the problem we have in web2?
- @phaver.lens how does the boosting work? Does this alter the feed algorithm? It would be cool if some of the points I pay could be redistributed to the community (I.e the first 10 who engage with my post)
- Congrats Lens on the huge growth!
I don’t see it as Lens vs Farcaster but yet I view it as Lens & Farcaster vs the big tech social media
The future is web3 social!
- How can one promote lens posts or casts?
If recall there was a project than enabled me to promote by pay Matic.
😣anyone here know more about this?

"Just finished 'Read Write Own' and it's my top blockchain book yet! 🚀 Highly recommend my network to give it a read! #Blockchain #ReadWriteOwn #DigitalOwnership @cdixon.eth
📚 Here are my key takeaways:"
- Is web2 social too large to be replaced? In 2023, the top 50 Social media content creators on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram have generated over $ 700M in revenues. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbertoni/2023/09/26/top-creators-2023/?sh=4dbcfaf14c0c
How will content creator monetization evolve with the rise of web3 social platforms? Here are my insights: #web3 #SocialMedia #MonetizationTrends"
- Pimlico.io and Dynamic.xyz released this blog in November 2023: https://www.dynamic.xyz/blog/aa-v2 Here are my initial thoughts...
- In November 2023 0xsuperscrypt.eth published their web3 social part 2 paper here: https://mirror.xyz/0xsuperscrypt.eth/ulf7Pf-l8AKys3PZTKXKEWNSMC7X4bkHl6NVTNkCo9E
- Interesting theory for a new web3 consumer business model.
Unlike web2 social apps, perhaps being able to create multiple apps with fad like usage/success might be the way forward...

- Out of interest, what do people here use to view their full onchain holdings/identity.
Is it OpenSea, zapper or something else?
- GM Frens! 💜

- Hey, would be great to meet up with fellow decentralised identity folks at Devconnect Istanbul! 🇹🇷👨💻
- Absolutely enjoyed being one of the judges at ETHLondon 🇬🇧 this past weekend!
Most projects I met used implemented Account Abstraction into their idea and focused on bringing in the next set of noncrypto users into web3!
My personal favourite was a project called Savemegranny, which used biometrics to create and recover ones AA wallet

- @orbapp.lens @nilesh.lens are there plans to have orb community creation requests and reviews to one day be fully decentralised?
I assume currently there is a centralized team who reviews which community request submissions go through?
Decentralising this would be so cool!

- Phaver is going to be big during DevConnect week, I have got decent amount of Turkish frens thanks to Phaver 🇹🇷 Can't wait to see you all in Istanbul ✌🏼
- We have raised $2.3M to build an everyday app for web3 social!
It's wild to see how things can change in just one year!
Almost this time last year, I was just hacking around this lil side project while pursuing my master's on a student visa.
Then, I decided to continue on this journey, and since then, I've found co-founders, we have established a company, jumped full-time, started working out of @fdotinc.lens, raised funds, and built a pretty strong team.
And now, we're ready to take this lil project to the next level!
Our goal is to build an app which you can use everyday to connect, interact and transact in your life on web3!
In the past year, we have witnessed tens of thousands of users experiencing the web3 social world for the first time through the @orb.lensapp.lens.
@LensProtocol.lens and @orb have enabled many creators to monetize their content with a small audience and still earn a substantial amount of money.
We have observed communities forming around orb, growing, and cultivating their niche audiences.
What's even more remarkable is that we have discovered our power users who have been using orb every day for the past year!
And now we are ready to game and make the experience more enjoyable and accessible to the whole web3!
LFG! 🚢

- 🤓 I fundamentally believe that this will be a game changer in the world of marketing, advertising and matchmaking.
“Phaver will introduce Advertising features (2024 onwards) which will be purely based on opt-in information such as subscribed topics or connected NFT assets.”
Having the freedom to choose which parts of my own decentralised identity I want to reveal to enable brands and people to better connect with me is super powerful! This is not the case in web2 advertising.
What Phaver and others are doing here will flip advertising on its head!
