- Ordered pizza. Today is a good day.
- `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'"

London is on the top of the list! I think my sound resonates well with the vibe of the city, and I can't wait to perform there. The record itself is a love story. Happy how this song came out, and I hope y'all love this sneak peek as much as I do! 🎶✨ #NewMusic #MusicNFT #London #HipHop #Campfire

- **AIRDROP STRATEGY: OliveYield 🫒**
@ 0xOlive is a DeFi protocol where you can deposit crypto and earn yield with their vaults and strategies. Similar to Ribbon Finance
Remember the $RBN airdrop? It was worth 30,000 USD to some
🧵Thread: how to potentially get an $OLIVE airdrop 🪂
1/8
✅ What is Olive?
A DeFi protocol that operates vaults generating yield to users
✅ How does the yield generate?
With DeFi Vault Strategies. 2 types of vaults:
• Covered call (yield in crypto. Deposit WBTC, earn WBTC)
• Put sell (yield in USDC. Deposit USDC, earn USDC)
2/8
✅ $OLIVE token?
Their token is already confirmed, 40% is destined for the community.
This 40% can be used for Community Rewards such as:
• Trading rewards
• Staking
• Liquidity mining
• Airdrops 🪂
🔗 Tokenomics and Docs: https://docs.oliveapp.finance/olive/tokenomics/olive-token
3/8
✅ $OLIVE airdrop? 🪂
Unlike the token, no airdrop has been confirmed yet.
There are hints in their docs, however, that some of the 40% destined for the community might be used to airdrop early users.
4/8
✅ Airdrop strategy ⚡️
1. Go to Olive:
🔗 https://bit.ly/3DNC0tL (olimpio's referral link, helps me a lot)
🔗 https://bit.ly/40ADBgf (no referral link)
2. Choose a vault
3. Deposit funds to earn yield
5/8
✅ Risks 🚨
It's important to know that sometimes the vaults lose money!
Olive shows "Success Rate": the percentage of weeks that the vaults were profitable
There's also "How it works", where you can see exactly how a vault works and how the yield generates
6/8
✅ Investors:
• Polygon Founders
• Jump Crypto
• Defi Alliance
✅ Metrics
TVL: 2.6M
Audited: Yes 🔗 https://github.com/peckshield/publications/blob/master/audit_reports/PeckShield-Audit-Report-Olive-v1.0.pdf
7/8
✅ Put selling: some basic info
• Assumption: the market will go up / sideways
• Obligation: buy the asset at the strike price
• When do you earn? You want the asset price to be above the strike price by the time vault expires. That's when you get paid.
8/8
✅ Covered calls: some basic info
• Assumption: the market will go down / sideways
• Obligation: sell the asset at the strike price
• When do you earn? You want the asset price to be below the strike price by the time vault expires. That's when you get paid.
