- 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.

- 23 Reflecting Your Identity with Disco — Evin McMullen
Evin McMullen is the co-founder and CEO at Disco. A company building tools to make it easy to carry your data from web2 to web3, under your ownership and control. Your identity for the metaverse. Using Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials.
In this episode we talk about Evin’s origin stories before web3 and crypto, how the Disco team came together, and the community design superpowers unlocked by combining Disco with tools from Guild.
And we jam a bit about Boys Club ~ A social club bringing new voices to the new internet, a collective for women and non-binary people, of which Evin is a member ~ as a solid recent example of community building and creating a space for people to connect, learn from each other, and party together.

- 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.

- Last week, we shared how @lensprotocol built Momoka, its innovative scaling solution, using Bundlr
Let's dive into what that means 👇🏾
Momoka uses Bundlr for scalable storage and ordering, and Polygon for smart contract interactions
One of the most significant challenges of this hybrid approach was maintaining transaction order across the two different systems
Lens solved this problem with a simulation solution that guarantees the real-time chronological sequence of user transactions, regardless of whether they are posted to Polygon or Bundlr 🚀
Bundlr as a storage and ordering layer is 1000x more cost-effective with 700x lower latency. Since launching last week the average Momoka transaction cost is only $0.0005 🤯
Bundlr's ordering service is fully permissionless, and is detailed in our docs 🤝
https://docs.bundlr.network/overview/services/ordering
Stay tuned for one more exciting announcement from Bundlr and Lens. In the meantime, dive into our blog post on how Momoka was built using Bundlr 🌟

- This joint talks about some feelings that I go through within my view of the world closing in on me. When I have to get something off my chest, I turn to the music. When that doesn't work, I know to ask for help. But being an overthinker, I do my best not to bother others with my problems, so I result to other things instead.

- Snapshot of the process behind my work being auctioned at Sotheby's tonight!
Auction period - 19th - 26th April!
I am not only the 1st NFT artist to reach Sotheby's // I guess I am also the 1st artist from Lens to be there 😃
Link to Sotheby's page!
https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2023/glitch-beyond-binary/downloading-shiva-1-of-1-nft-by-cybershakti-2023
"Downloading Shiva" is a self-portrait by Glitch artist Cyber Shakti, inspired by the love story of Shiva and Shakti in Hindu mythology. The work was made when the artist adorned her Shakti avatar, coming into her own during a challenging time in her life!
The artwork features a digital portrait of Cyber Shakti in a trance-like state, surrounded by a swirling vortex of vibrant glitched pixels.
The focal point of the artwork is the image of Shiva, one of the primary gods in Hinduism, who is depicted as a digital manifestation. The image of Shiva appears to be downloading into the artist's consciousness. The work merges the ancient deity, retelling the story of the masculine and feminine deities in the cyber realms.
Cyber Shakti was inspired by the moment in the love story of Shiva and Shakti when Shakti decided to be in her own power and awaken Shiva from his deep state of meditation. The union of Shiva and Shakti represents the union of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, and this moment in the love story symbolizes the power of the feminine to awaken and transform the masculine within. In this Glitch rendition, Shiva and Shakti are slowly becoming one. Shiva is Shakti & Shakti is Shiva.

- Lens Protocol is open, anyone who has a profile can have permissionless access regardless of what application they are using. We believe in supporting content creators and followers who create an engaging environment for everyone.
Some applications use gasless and signless transactions, and we have now introduced eligibility requirements for these features.
While everyone is eligible by default, accounts with low-signal engagement will not be eligible. You can read more about our requirements here. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/gasless#eligibility-requirements
We are also testing filtering low-signal notifications for a better user experience. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/users-notifications#api-details
At Lens, we believe that Web3 social should create a better experience than before, by using blockchain technology. We are always experimenting with ways to better our user experience by filtering low-signal profiles and bots. Let’s keep experimenting, our DMs are open for feedback 🧪
- おはよう @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
The Lens team is on the ground and we're so excited to bring the social layer of web3 to Japan.
We have $20k in prizes for the hackathon!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
🎖️ 10 best Lens Integrations for nullk each
Lens is web3 native meaning it’s simple to build native payment features directly into your app. Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries, and in a permissionless way. Premium content, token-gated rewards, tipping, crowdfunding, subscription services, referral, and affiliate programs are just a handful of the countless types of integrations you can build with Lens.
Looking for some inspiration?
- We're still in the early innings of AI and ML and want to see more devs utilizing the latest innovations from OpenAI, Replicate, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Dust just to name a few. Imagine the possibilities when web3 social intersects with AI/ML 🤯
- You could use AI/ML to analyze a user’s feed over the course of a few days and condense it into a single view so they can visit less often and still be up to date with what’s the latest and greatest.
- Or create a social learning platform that uses AI to create personalized learning paths for users. It could assess users' knowledge levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and provide real-time
feedback and guidance.
- You could use Lens profiles specifically for your gaming identity. Imagine your in-game items and high scores attached to your Lens profile and you curate a Lens leaderboard for the community.
- Bust a move! Build an app that lets users participate in virtual dance-off challenges. Users can record and upload their dances, challenge friends or random users, and compete for the elusive best dancer on Lens title 💃🕺
- Build a community app for @galverse.lens on Lens that utilizes the Splits for Collects feature (https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/create-post-typed-data#multirecipientfeecollectmodule) and you'll help with the development of the anime, character design, story, and more.
- Imagine using the Collect module for more exclusive content such as event ticketing.
- How about building a governance forum specifically for Lens users? gm DAOs 🤔
- Calling all pet lovers out there. Create a social platform where users can showcase their pets' talents, tricks, and general awesomeness. Users can upload videos of their pets and participate in virtual talent shows, with categories like "Best Trick," and "Funniest Moment"
- Want to bridge that gap from web2 social to web3? Build a site that shows you the most followed people that have used a site (maybe the 🐦 app) or help users connect their web2 account and generate a ZKP for mapping.
- Or a Lens creator dashboard for tracking post analytics (engagement, collects, revenue, etc) and helping you find your 1000 true fans.
- Maybe you find yourself collecting every post from one of the 100k profiles already on Lens. Create a module to “subscribe” to someone and automatically collect everything the post within certain parameters.
