- こんにちは @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
@aavegrants.lens will have 3 main prizes for GHO and Aave with $10k up for grabs!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
For those taking part in the hackathon here are some ideas to get those creative chops going! 👻
@gho.lens is designed for internet people.
With that in mind, we'd love to see you build utility around the future of payments on the web.
- You could create an app or plugin to pay with GHO anywhere.
- Imagine using GHO to buy your favorite beverage.
- Create a convenient payment platform with GHO where you can enjoy fast and secure transfers with just a few clicks. Say goodbye to time-consuming payments!
- Build a tool that uses Account Abstraction with GHO to allow users to pay gas fees with GHO, and has rebates. E.g., if the gas used is more than GHO paid, users can claim a rebate or pay it forward.
- Construct new DeFi yield strategies and opportunities for GHO and the entire DeFi community.
- Create a chargeback (direct debit) network for GHO where any user can charge an account with a set amount of GHO. GHO would then be transferred immediately but not unlocked until a set period of time passes. During this time, anyone can dispute the function if they have a balance
This is our first hackathon for GHO and we can't wait to see what you build this week.
Dive into the dev docs for GHO here: https://docs.gho.xyz/developer-docs/overview
We also want to see what devs can do with the power of Aave V3, our most significant upgrade of the Aave Protocol.
- You could build an Aave Forex tool where you can short assets. Enhance the ability of users to access forex liquidity by using one or all of eMode, flash loans, and other DeFi integrations such as @curvefinance.lens.
- Create a ChatGPT-powered risk manager for Aave utilizing OpenAI plugins to create an innovative experience for DeFi users with this leading-edge technology.
- Create a new debt swap feature. Right now you can swap your collateral from one asset to another but imagine if you built a feature for swapping debt from one asset to another.
- Utilize ZK proofs for critical vulnerabilities while not disclosing the vulnerability, i.e. prove there’s a vulnerability to the DAO so they can vote on it informed but not actually say what the vulnerability is.
- Imagine a Health Factor simulator UI component that displays a price slider per each collateral and borrowed asset, so you can simulate prices and see how your Health Factor changes under those conditions. Allowing you to take informed decisions to mitigate liquidation risks.
Dive into Aave V3 Dev docs here: https://docs.aave.com/developers/getting-started/readme
Make sure to catch @jessglover.lens and @miguelmtz.lens on April 14th at 7 PM JST in the Toranomon Hills Forum, 5th Floor | Workshop Room 1, for a GHO Hackathon Workshop.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on your hackathon project.
Reach out to @nader.lens and @jessglover.lens for any questions on the ground in Tokyo.
- Big news: Sound will soon be open to all artists 🔊
We always promised to build an open platform.
Now we’re getting close…
A thread 👇
From day one we promised that Sound would eventually open to everyone.
All artists should have access to the best Web3 tools.
We’ll have more details soon, but today we wanted to give you some transparency on the thought process behind opening up…
🔶 The tl;dr
Before Sound opens, we need to make sure everything is ready:
1. Smooth onboarding process
2. Building features for a mass audience.
3. Battle testing the platform.
4. Do things that don’t scale.
5. Verifying audio ownership
6. Thank you for being patient 🙏
Let’s go through them…
🔶 1. Smooth onboarding
So far we have personally onboarded all 400 artists one-by-one on video calls. By doing this we learned all the pain points and deeply understood who we are building for.
Now we can turn that process into seamless onboarding for all artists.
🔶 2. Building features for mass audience
We are thinking big. Sound needs to be ready for millions of music fans and tens of thousands of artists. That means building features that work at scale, such as:
🔹Simplifying the user experience
Email sign-ups
Credit card payments
Mobile app
🔹Building a discovery layer
Better ways to discover music on Sound beyond the first 24-hours of a drop.
And the ability to browse through thousands of artists.
🔹Sustainable drop methods
Offer an alternative to the ‘sellout’ mentality.
We wanted to give artists a sustainable, long-term way to sell their music, which is why we built Sound Swap.
These features are rolling out to all artists over the coming weeks.
🔶 3. Battle testing the platform
To get to the point where we’re ready for millions of music fans, we needed to stress test every part of the platform and iterate fast.
Working closely with a curated group of artists allowed us to do that and get feedback in real time. Together we’ve experimented with hundreds of features and honed the product until it's ready.
We figured out what works.
What didn’t work.
We refined it.
Now we can roll it out to everyone.
🔶 4. Doing things that don’t scale
A core principle of building a startup is doing things that don’t scale.
We onboarded every artist with a white-glove service.
We hosted daily Twitter Spaces to showcase artists.
We tweeted about every drop.
We spoke to artists and collectors every single day.
All of these things were essential for kickstarting the flywheel. Now there’s enough momentum that Sound can accelerate on its own.
🔶 5. Verifying audio ownership
Opening up Sound will bring new challenges for our team… For example, what happens if someone uploads music that doesn’t belong to them?
We’ve been building tools to counter this problem (such as audio footprint technology). We also wanted to focus all our resources on the core product rather than fighting legal issues at such an early stage.
🔶 6. Thank you for being patient
We know that hundreds of artists have applied to Sound and waited patiently. We hear your feedback about decentralization. Trust that we’ve been working towards this from day one and we’re nearly there.
Within three months every artist will have access to Sound and all our artist tools. The next era of music NFTs is coming. Thanks for coming on this journey with us.

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [April 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens (iOS) are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably *forever*. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments.
@jeanmi.lens increased his followers +5k within 39 days. How he did it? "**be yourself, try to engage with people**, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'"

First multi-recipient collect on a collaboration between @jamieforsyth.lens and @jamesfinnerty.lens
This piece was conceived in a solar-powered shipping container studio in the forests of Northern California. (*in fact, at the moment this was recorded the sun was powering the whole studio directly through the solar panels; no battery bank needed!)
We started with a mono, overhead drum recording using a single mic, and some bass accompaniment done together in a single live improvised take. It was then passed back and forth remotely to add acoustic and electric guitars and then the final touches.

- Sunk Cost Fallacy & NFTs
In recent years, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have taken the art world by storm, with some digital artworks selling for millions of dollars. While NFTs have brought unprecedented attention to the digital art space, they have also raised concerns about the sunk cost fallacy. In this article, we will explore the concept of the sunk cost fallacy, how it applies to NFTs, and why it is important to let go of past investments to avoid making poor financial decisions.
What is the Sunk Cost Fallacy?
The sunk cost fallacy is a cognitive bias that refers to the tendency of individuals to continue investing in a project or asset, even if it is no longer profitable or has become a liability. This is because people tend to focus on the amount of time, money, or effort they have already invested, rather than on the potential future benefits or losses. This fallacy is prevalent in all areas of life, from personal relationships to business ventures.
How Does the Sunk Cost Fallacy Apply to NFTs?
NFTs are unique digital assets that are sold on a blockchain. They have gained immense popularity in recent years, with some pieces selling for millions of dollars. However, the sunk cost fallacy can come into play when people invest in NFTs. For example, if someone purchases an NFT for a high price and its value decreases over time, they may still hold onto it because they have already invested a significant amount of money in it. This decision can lead to further losses, as they may be unwilling to let go of the asset, even though it is no longer profitable.
The Risks of Investing in NFTs
While NFTs have the potential to be lucrative investments, they also come with significant risks. One of the main risks is the volatility of the market. The value of NFTs can fluctuate wildly, and there is no guarantee that an NFT will increase in value over time. Additionally, NFTs can be difficult to sell, which can make it challenging to exit an investment if necessary.
How to Avoid the Sunk Cost Fallacy in NFT Investments
To avoid falling prey to the sunk cost fallacy when investing in NFTs, it is important to approach investments with a clear mind and a long-term strategy. This involves setting clear investment goals and determining when to cut losses and move on. Additionally, it is important to do thorough research before investing and to be aware of the risks involved.
One way to avoid the sunk cost fallacy is to establish a predetermined exit strategy. This means setting a specific target for when to sell an NFT, regardless of its current value. For example, an investor might decide to sell an NFT if its value drops below a certain threshold or if they have held onto it for a set period of time.
It is also important to consider diversifying investments. Investing in a variety of NFTs can help to spread out risk and minimize losses in the event that one investment does not perform as expected.
The Importance of Letting Go of Past Investments
Letting go of past investments can be challenging, but it is often necessary to avoid making poor financial decisions. By holding onto an asset that is no longer profitable, individuals may continue to incur losses and miss out on more lucrative investment opportunities. Therefore, it is important to make rational decisions based on current market trends and future potential, rather than past investments.
Conclusion
NFTs have brought unprecedented attention to the digital art space, but they also come with significant risks. The sunk cost fallacy can make it difficult for investors to make rational decisions about when to sell an NFT
