- We're proud to introduce Lens Improvement Proposals (LIPs). This open, collaborative process will guide the future development of Lens Protocol.
Taking inspiration from the successful Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs), LIPs takes a step towards decentralized governance. The LIPs process will foster an inclusive, transparent and collaborative environment.
You will find how to participate in LIPs in the Lens Protocol’s GitHub repository, which streamlines the community participation process. It gives anyone the chance to submit proposals, and promotes open discussion.
Let's dive into the first three proposals that are live today:
LIP-0: Establishing an Open Governance Model. A process where the Lens community can propose improvements to Lens Protocol. From the submission of proposals to transparent discussions — we aim to foster an open, collaborative, and inclusive decision-making governance model.
LIP-1: Open Standards for Algorithms. A proposal to establish open standards for algorithms — based on the open Lens data layer — that will encourage the development of third-party algorithms, diverse experiences and provide user choice.
LIP-2: Open Standards for Metadata. An initiative to establish metadata standards for Lens Protocol, promoting transparency, interoperability, and user empowerment.
Take a deep dive into LIPs in our latest blog: https://mirror.xyz/lensprotocol.eth/8uxN9fMYBOqyDW5yZ6O3DDdOLEv1jJtxcw9qk4c4wgM
LIPs are our next step in enabling community involvement in shaping Lens Protocol's future.

- Crypto is the only place where you can sleep a millionaire and wake up broke or you can sleep broke but wake up a multi millionaire.
- Mercado Bitcoin, the biggest bitcoin exchange in Brazil has been granted a license from the country’s central bank to function as a payment institution.
- How do you convince someone not in Crypto to be part of it?
1. Show them how centralization is a bottomless pit where a few control the many
2. Tell them they can help change this by bringing awareness about Decentralization
3. Help them by answering their questions
4. Not everyone will be convinced on the first encounter. Just stay in touch, ready to help them whenever they get back with more questions
5. The journey to entering crypto is not overnight. It’s over time
- Most economists talk about how present fiat system has numerous loop holes that Govt can exploit at the cost of its citizens getting hurt. A fully transparent & accountable system like #bitcoin could be better replacement!
- Is US government mining Bitcoin through Tether?
Tether (Company behind USDT stablecoin) to mine bitcoin in Uruguay using renewable energy.
They are going to use 15% of their profits.
How Tether makes profit?
When you buy 1 USDT they keep null in reserve. Now if they will just keep null as it is then it will loose its value due to inflation.
So they invest in various government bonds and other securities.
USDT has a market cap of $83 billion, so how USDT make profit?
83 Billion * 4-5% average return from bonds = $4 Billion in interest income every year.
They do not share this interest income with you who is holding USDT in their wallets.
How government is involved in mining Bitcoin?
Well, indirectly today but directly tomorrow.
Proposed Stablecoin bill clearly states that USDT & USDC will be regulated directly by Federal government.
Tether and Circle ( USDC) are going to be the entities of FED just like banks very soon.
