What is happening? well... minted an NFT on Zora for the price of a coffee/smoothie and it's now somewhere in the ether. https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x8fcfdad5ebdd1ce815aa769bbd7499091ac056d1 (lots of pending tx) https://etherscan.io/address/0x81f91aca8c05b3eefebc00171139afefac17c9a6
🚨Ledger users: BlockAid has identified an attack on Ledger Connect Kit. Please stop using dapps for the time being. Hey.xyz is called out also. Not a hoax. https://x.com/metamask/status/1735291650614653364?s=46&t=4JWhH1TccURI0oH8GM27xA https://twitter.com/MetaMask/status/1735291650614653364?s=46&t=4JWhH1TccURI0oH8GM27xA
Is the Lens developer community concerned or heard about this? Something to do with gasless transactions https://blog.openzeppelin.com/arbitrary-address-spoofing-vulnerability-erc2771context-multicall-public-disclosure
Ready and waiting...
Lens V2 Testnet Developer Preview Today Lens V2 went to testnet! In this call, we discuss Lens V2 and hold a Q&A for developers about the new updates.
Crazy good user experience on @orbapp.lens Astonished 🔥
Lens Protocol — Content Recommendations by Karma3 Labs Karma3 Labs (K3L) has implemented a set of algorithms to help the Lens Protocol community to build amazing user experiences with highly engaging and relevant content. The algorithms are implemented on a highly scalable compute infrastructure that leverages EigenTrust, a foundational algorithm co-authored by one of K3L's co-founders, Sep Kamvar.
Check out the latest video walk through of @karma3labs.lens content feed recommendations here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Q-aMuw6FI 👀 We currently published a set of content feed algorithms to demonstrate the power of its applications on a social graph such as the vibrant @lensprotocol ecosystem but it can be applied on a broader scale as well 💡Developers: you can choose from the current 4 algorithms that align with your requirements and audience. You can even develop your own algorithms based on this open sourced algorithm fine-tune parameters for specific algorithms. We encourage developers to reach out to us to work out your use cases **🤝** If you missed it, the previous @karma3labs.lens post with details of these algorithms are here: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01cc4f-0x02-DA-429eacac
Lots going on at @karma3labs.lens! https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov/status/1671999904506429440

@messari.lens 's recent report, User Behavior and Engagement on Lens (https://messari.io/report/user-behavior-and-engagement-on-lens), has some important insights for @creators.lens **1. Creator monetization is an opportunity for all Lens users, for wallets large and small** *"The direct-to-consumer monetization feature on Lens lowers the barrier to entry for creators to generate revenue. Creators who have been disadvantaged by extinguished royalty payments can now turn to decentralized social media as a potential source of income.* *Furthermore, there is no measurable correlation between the wallet value and a user’s influence on the Lens platform suggesting that net worth is not a prerequisite for success. The level playing field opens up opportunities for creators from diverse backgrounds to earn revenue without any significant upfront investment."* **2. It seems paid collects are clustered around null-8 and 5-100 editions.** this is a chart showing the avg price of a collect post against the # of collects a user gets. Note both axes grow exponentially so don't read the chart wrong!
Go Dubs! 🌉
Gm! I just took a peek at my twitter feed and it's intense. Switched over here to @lensprotocol and getting a feeling of zen 🧘 Does anyone else feel the same?
Gm Lensters! Just published this a few hours ago. Interested to hearing your inputs about what the trends are and whether this thesis will hold https://layer7.substack.com/p/time-to-look-up-and-face-the-new
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 🌟 https://bundlr.mirror.xyz/oDs2P54Esh9Tmi8OIL7KGVVXH_hZAwkW8JUC4cVrCL4
Web3 social platforms are on the verge of disrupting traditional Web2 social platforms by addressing their shortcomings. But how are they doing it? To answer this question, Research Analyst @allyz.lens delves into user behavior and engagement on one of the leading social graphs, @lens_protocol.lens In case you're not familiar, Lens Protocol is a smart contract social graph built on Polygon that empowers creators to own their Web3 identity, data, and connections. What sets this platform apart is the competitive nature of the various apps on top of this social graph. To stand out in this ecosystem and attract users, developers need to create the most innovative and useful applications. Many Lens Protocol applications, including @lenster.lens, @phaver.lens, and @orbapp.lens have done just that, experiencing a significant increase in daily active users and engagements. However, while engagement serves as a critical indicator of health and adoption, Lens Protocol's engagement features have some nuances not typical of Web2 social platforms. These features include posts and comments that are user-owned and stored within a ProfileNFT, collects that are a method for creators to earn revenue also stored as an NFT, mirrors that are similar to an RT with potential use case for advertising, and more. But the primary distinction between Web2 and Web3 social apps lies in the interoperability of Web3 apps. Web3 apps enable seamless connection to any front-end application on the social graph, which is crucial for the success of a social ecosystem. The dynamics of user interactions within an ecosystem can be understood by analyzing network graphs. If you're interested in learning more about Lens Protocol's network graph, influential applications, user behavior, user retention and migrations, and what lies ahead, check out the full enterprise report from @allyz.lens. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the future of social media. https://bit.ly/40U26Uo
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.
