- Welcome to the My Lens Journey series!
Next up in our series, we're sharing @lens/1_cryptoman's journey in the Lens garden **🌿**
Check out his story below 👇
📌 **When did your Lens journey start?**
So, my @lens/lens journey kicked off in September 2022, thanks to getting whitelisted by @lens/phaver. Back then, not only did my Lens odyssey start, but basically the whole crypto world was open to me for the first time thanks to Phaver and Lens.
I was such a noob back then, and that's why my Lens handle goes by 1_cryptoman. I had 0 experience in space and was thinking that minting 1_cryptoman handle would be fun. Nowadays, people really call me Cryptoman
📌 **What's your favorite thing about the Lens ecosystem?**
• Shipping from the Lens apps, I encountered a level of pure and friendly competition that I had never seen before in my life. I've always believed that healthy competition only serves to make you stronger, and that's the first thing I appreciate about the Lens ecosystem.
• Creators are leading the way. Since I joined the Lens ecosystem, more and more creators from different fields have jumped in, and this diversity is just amazing. There's a lot to learn. I'm very happy that a lot of creators started monetizing their art/content inside the Lens ecosystem.
• People!!! I cannot even describe how different we Lens people are from CT people. Well-educated, supportive, cool, and funny. It feels like a huge family. I found FRENS.
📌 **Your favorite Lens app?**
My favorite app is Phaver 🦄, the first app I open in the morning. As mentioned before, my crypto/web3 journey started with it. With Phaver, I realized how important it is to build a strong community, and I believe that the Phaver community is unmatched in the web3 space.
Phaver is a super app with a lot of potential to grow: It has a credibility system within Phaver points, Phaver-UP NFTs, a Creator program, and soon full farcaster integration. The team is investing in the community and creators a lot. Personally, I received support and a huge boost from Phaver, for which I will be forever grateful. Once Phaverian, always Phaverian.
Also, I use @lens/orb daily. After V2, it felt like I woke up in the year 3033. The UI/UX went to a new level. I'm always checking out art on Orb; for me, it has become a gallery of the dopest art. I also adore clubs; features like revenue and pinning posts are fire. There are a lot of musicians there.
When I use my laptop, I explore apps like @lens/hey, @lens/kaira, @lens/madfinanceHey.
I like the explore and tipping features in Hey; the feed algorithms are impressive, possibility to swap inside Hey is top top, also the gardening mode is super useful and needed.
Kaira is also very interesting to me; Kaira provides utility for many Lens native tokens like $Bonsai, $Fish, $Chaos, $Fries, etc. I need to understand how delegation and staking mechanisms work there.
Madfi is a platform I like because of the live streams and the ability to tip speakers. I'm eagerly waiting for the time when it will be possible to have more than three speakers at a time.
Huge shoutout to @lens/joonatan, @lens/nilesh, @lens/kipto, @lens/yoginth, @lens/mesutgulecen, and @lens/carlosbeltran , and to everyone who is building every day and shipping dope stuff for the people. You are complete Legends!
📌 **What are your expectations for the Lens ecosystem in 2024?**
In 2024, I expect the Lens ecosystem to experience significant growth, particularly with the integration of DeFi elements. This integration will likely attract a broader audience and enhance the functionality of the ecosystem.
Creators will undoubtedly play a more substantial role in shaping the ecosystem. As more talented artists join the Lens, we can anticipate a surge in creative content production. The healthy competition between creators will drive the bar higher for quality content, ultimately benefiting users with a richer and more diverse experience.
Furthermore, with the increasing popularity of video content consumption, I foresee a rise in video content within the Lens ecosystem. This could include more live streams, tutorials, stand-ups and immersive experiences, catering to the preferences of users who favor dynamic and engaging content formats.
I expect more competitive tokens that can pose significant competition to @lens/bonsai
I still can't believe the journey I've been on for over 1.5 years. Not so long ago, I joined @lens/monniverseofficial as a co-founder, embarking on a journey to gain real web3 experience by building a project filled with mermaids, tritons, and sea creatures alongside the one and only @@lens/cmn__ . Our community is incredibly strong and amazingly creative, soon we will make the biggest waves in the web3 ocean. For me, Phaver and Lens played a huge role in getting to this point in my life. Excited about everything the future will bring. LFG 🌊🌊🌊
- Create things you feel passionate about or want to see in the world. By doing this, the drive will come from something deeper than just wanting to create a successful X. Furthermore, this is, imo, the only way to keep going, to embrace the journey's ups and downs, and most importantly, to overcome the criticism that is sadly so prevalent in today's world🌹
- Doodle Gal Series💫
- agree somewhat. speaking as an orb-only user, i’d like to see orb reduce the visual prominence of the collect button (color and size) and improve the UI/UX around replying and threaded replies in comments. orb lends itself to tumblr-esque media sharing which isn’t bad,
but a little nudge towards conversations might help.

- 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.

- Hi! I’m Ellie 👋 I’m a multi-disciplinary artist who got their start as a classical cellist and photographer. As a synesthete, my perception of different stimuli gets jumbled up which makes my relationship with color in particular very special. Most of my artwork comes from a place of me trying to share my perception with the world.
I am fascinated by the interplay of obsolete and cutting edge technologies and I spend a lot of time playing with both. I love analog video and photography, I love all things AI, I love playing with them together and seeing what happens. My process is usually very recursive with lots of back and forth between old hardware and the latest software, live coding visualizers and video synthesizers.
I’m also a web3 advocate and NFT artist, collector and curator working hard to elevate under represented artists. I’m honored to have curated and produced some of the largest web3 art exhibitions to date 🙌

- 25 Navigating the Future with Extinction Rebellion — Clare Farrell
Clare Farrell is a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. She’s an activist, artist, designer, communicator and organiser.
If you’ve ever seen the Adam McKay movie ~ Don’t Look Up ~ with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, in which an asteroid is found to be on a collision course with Earth, and the protagonists go on national tv news in America to try and raise the alarm, only to be met by the banal absurdity of how mainstream news works.
Well, Clare Farrell has that role in real life as part of XR. She appears on TV to speak on behalf of this decentralised movement, especially when the show has potential to be a bit antagonistic. A surreal experience to find yourself in.
In this episode we talk about Clare’s origins in fashion and design and creative activism, up to being part of the originating group of Extinction Rebellion in 2018. We discuss their demands for net zero carbon emissions by 2025, citizens assemblies and direct democracy, and reparatory justice for nations and people around the world most impacted by the climate crisis.

- **Pay What You Want**
What if you could Collect using any token, and name your own price? Now that’s actually possible, thanks to a new *Collect Module* that I just deployed!
I’ve been interested in the PWYW pricing strategy since Radiohead released one of the greatest albums of all time, In Rainbows, direct-to-consumer using this model back in 2007. It’s also popular on software distribution platforms like Gumroad and Humble Bundle.
It’s already live, and in fact, you can name your own token and price for this post right now (where supported)!

- Breakthrough in AI: Chinese Researchers Develop Highly Efficient "Taichi" Chip
Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have recently developed a groundbreaking AI chip called "Taichi", which significantly outperforms existing systems. The chip not only consumes less energy but is also reported to be up to 100 times more efficient than current chips on the market.
Unlike traditional chips that rely on electronic transistors, Taichi utilizes photonics technology, making it a promising candidate for the next generation of computing. This optical technology has demonstrated superior processing speeds and high energy efficiency, enabling the chip to effectively support a wide range of advanced AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) tasks.
The Taichi chipset has successfully increased the network scale to the billion-neuron level, allowing it to tackle complex classification tasks such as the 100-category ImageNet and 1,623-category challenges. By harnessing the power of photonics, the researchers have paved the way for more efficient AI applications in the real world while substantially reducing energy consumption.
- IMF Recognizes Bitcoin's Role in Protecting Wealth and Enabling Cross-Border Flows
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has acknowledged Bitcoin's growing importance as a means of protecting wealth and facilitating cross-border financial flows, particularly for people in countries with restrictive financial regulations or economic instability.
In their report "A Primer on Bitcoin Cross-Border Flows," IMF researchers found that Bitcoin allows users to bypass traditional banking systems, especially in regions facing economic distress or strict capital controls.
The report highlights that a significant portion of Bitcoin transactions originates from countries like Argentina and Venezuela, where high inflation persists.
While Bitcoin flows complement rather than replace traditional capital flows, the IMF emphasizes the need for international cooperation and clear regulatory frameworks to address challenges such as money laundering prevention.

- Good morning dear friends. Today, will be a bit of historical weekend airdrop.
I have practiced Buddhism for a long long time, and written Buddhist mantras for many years and thousands of times. To understand the amount, I posted a picture together with the monk who had visited me and to see what I was doing. In total, I have written more than 14,000 times one of the main mantras of the Buddhist religion of empathy and compassion-“Om mani padme hum”. Thanks to this writing, I got to painting. Paintings that I can share with you here on @lens/orb . Thanks to the @club/orb application and the @lens/lens / @club/lens protoco, as many of you, we can conect and be dear followers and supporters. 🙏🏻
This multi-collection is free for a certain time 48h and a certain amount for 407 people as many fallowers including supporters I have. Thank you all for being so kind, responsive and accepting.
May this light, which fills and enables people to live more freely, flourish and expand. Thanks to the creators and maintainers of the application.
