'Wealth's Silence' Speculative Flash Fiction on Mind Attic by Andrej Klimov
In the warmth of a perfect summer day, the world seemed at peace, but not for John. With silver hair framing a face marked by time, he sat, tears blurring his vision as he clutched a digital frame. He hugged it close, a gesture of farewell to a part of himself, and exhaled a shaky breath, a mix of regret and resolve.
John’s study was a haven of old-world charm with a pulse of the new, where books lined the walls, and technology whispered secrets of wealth and power. He approached his computer, the screen lighting up to reveal his dilemma: "Investment Options." Three choices glared back at him.
The first option offered John a way to enrich the public realm, especially in education and science. Yet, it promised little to no financial return for himself. The second, highlighted as "Recommended," promised modest gains but with benefits for society — a balance of gain and give. The third, marked "Popular," dangled the allure of immense personal wealth but warned of potential peril to the public.
John paused momentarily at the first option. With disgust and a hasty flick, he tapped the "don't show this again" box, effectively erasing the altruistic path from his sight.
John hovered between the remaining choices, his face etched with the turmoil of conscience. For a fleeting moment, the second option glowed invitingly, offering a rare opportunity for a win-win. Yet, his eyes darted around, scanning for any judgmental gaze. Finding none but feeling the weight of unseen eyes, he gravitated toward the third option. With eyes closed, he tapped the screen repeatedly.
Stares at The digital frame, he held so dearly. A money graph — a live pulse of his fortune — surging upwards. John's eyes sparkled with a mix of triumph and madness. In a moment of euphoria, he jabbed at the second option, a feeble nod towards redemption. But the graph twisted sideways, the money frozen in place.
In a rush of desperation, John hit "don't show this again" for the second option. The screen shifted, the third option sliding into the now-vacant space. Then, a new, fourth option appeared, ominous with its grim warnings. It showed a stark image: on one side, society in chaos and flames; on the other, a mountain of wealth.
John tapped the fourth option, again and again, and again…
Time passed. Now standing, a smile was fixed on John's face as he admired the view from the spacious balcony. A sigh of satisfaction and relief escaped him.
He moved towards the bed, preparing for sleep. Casting a last glance at the cherished digital frame on the nightstand, its graph now soared skyward, declaring him the wealthiest man. Gently, he hugged and kissed the frame goodnight, then pressed a button on the remote.
As John settled into the single bed, the night's silence was broken by the heavy clank of steel shutters rolling down. The room's artificial daylight began to fade, obscured by the descending metal. The scene shifts, revealing John's expansive view as just a screen showing "Happy World" scenes.
Our view widens to reveal a sweeping panorama of the city, John's residence marginalized to one side. The quiet is shattered by distant gunfire, the air filled with intermittent screams and the urgent wail of sirens.
In the distance, flashes light up the horizon, casting eerie shadows as mushroom clouds of fire bloom, one after another, in a relentless sequence of destruction.
Then, silence.
The sky, painted in apocalyptic hues, is mirrored on the steel shutters of John's impenetrable bunker. Outside, the world succumbs to turmoil, a stark contrast to the serene darkness enveloping John, the wealthiest man, now asleep in his silent, sealed-off sanctuary.

- 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.
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 Momoka.
Momoka serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Momoka 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. Momoka makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens 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.
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.
Join our Spaces today at 15:30pm UTC to hear from @stani.lens, @wagmi.lens, @nader.lens, and special guests from Bundlr and Arweave: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1nAKEryXyDYGL/peek

From the moment you step through the doors, you know you're in for something special. Japan is a music lover's paradise. There's a vibe at Tower Records that's unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. It draws local and international music aficionados who know that music is more than just background noise - it's a way of life.
This photo series is a dedication to that.

- **Guide to Polygon NFTs**
With a string of a-list partners and an ever-expanding ecosystem, Polygon is a network that’s worth paying attention to. However, Polygon NFTs are relatively lesser-known, perhaps because many wallets don’t fully support them.
In this post, we explore Polygon NFT marketplaces and top NFT collections.
📈 **Polygon NFT marketplaces**
Many NFT marketplaces support Polygon — below are the leading ones in terms of volume.
**1. OpenSea**
The best-known NFT marketplace, @opensea.lens added Polygon in August 2022. Despite lots of competition, OpenSea has the largest trading volumes for Polygon NFTs.
Besides trading, OpenSea also lets anyone easily create Polygon NFTs with “lazy minting”. With this method, no gas is paid until the NFT is sold.
**2. MagicEden**
Originally focused on Solana, MagicEden has grown into a cross-chain NFT giant. The marketplace added support for Polygon in November 2022.
MagicEden also has lots of tools to help creators successfully sell NFTs. This includes whitelists, launchpads, and auctions. This isn’t open to all, and there is a vetting process for creators to ensure quality.
**3. Dew**
Currently in invite-only, Dew.gg is a dedicated Polygon NFT marketplace aggregator tailored for pro traders on the Polygon network. Despite still not being fully open, Dew has been steadily gaining trading volumes.
Dew offers features that help traders, such as fast listing updates, floor sweeping, and advanced charts. To get access to Dew, you need an invite from one of the existing users (each user gets 5 invites).
🔍 **Polygon NFT collections**
While Polygon has lots of run-of-the-mill PFP collections, it’s also home to some of the most interesting NFT experiments.
**1. Y00ts**
Launched in September 2022 on Solana, y00ts is a generative art project with 15,000 NFTs.
The project made headlines when De Labs, the company behind y00ts, got a $3 million grant from Polygon to move the collection from Solana to the Polygon blockchain. The transfer started in March, and now over 12k NFTs are on Polygon. With a 2 ETH floor, it’s currently the top collection on Polygon.
**2. Lens profiles**
@lensprotocol handles are a hot commodity — still, only whitelisted addresses can mint the handle.
While mining is free, the floor price is over $200. The total volume traded is over 4.2 million MATIC, according to MagicEden.
Collected Lens posts are also Polygon NFTs. However, a different collection is created for each post. So the market is somewhat fragmented and posts rarely feature in the lists of trending NFTs.
**3. Reddit Collectible Avatars**
Reddit chose the Polygon blockchain to launch the sale of their collective avatars. Reddit sold over 10 *million* NFTs with a total market cap exceeding $75 million.
Recently, Reddit launched the second wave of avatars from 100 different artists. Each artist has a separate NFT collection.
**4. Sandbox land NFTs**
In November 2022, Sandbox, the popular metaverse and gaming platform, started to sell their digital land as Polygon NFTs, moving on from Ethereum.
Most Sanbox land plots are now traded on Polygon with a total volume of over 6.2 million MATIC. The land isn’t cheap: the average price is over 1,000 MATIC.
**5. Unstoppable Domains**
Similar to ENS, Unstoppable Domains offer domain names as NFTs. Unlike ENS, these NFTs live on the Polygon blockchain.
There are over 3 million domain NFTs. So the floor price is extremely low. However, shorter and more memorable domains could be valuable.
**6. Galxe OAT2**
Galxe OAT (On-chain Achievement Token) are free NFTs issued for taking parts in various campaigns on Galxe. Over 9 million OATs were issued.
While OATs are minted for free, some people buy them. Perhaps they expect to qualify for some whitelisted, allowlists, or other on-chain opportunities.
**7. Gaming NFTs**
Polygon is the network of choice for many blockchain games. Some of those games use NFTs to represent characters and items in the games.
Game NFTs are often even more volatile than other collections. That’s because the value of NFTs can depend on the in-game mechanics (which can change). Games can also quickly go viral and can fall out of favor just as fast.
To find interesting game NFTs on Polygon, you can simply filter collections on OpenSea. MagicEden also has a dedicated Games tab, which features various blockchain games.
👀 **How to view your Polygon NFTs**
Not every crypto wallet adequately displays Polygon NFTs.
However, Zerion Wallet fully supports the Polygon blockchain, including NFTs. You can easily import your existing wallet via a seed phrase or private key.
When you mint or buy NFTs, you can see them in your transaction history. After that, the NFT will show up in a dedicated part of the portfolio that tracks NFTs across all chains.
Alternatively, you can connect your existing wallet to the Zerion web app and see all your Polygon NFTs.

- I wanted to try something new.
This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.
