- I once was thinking that one way to actually create more on-ramping for crypto would be to create a machine where people can deposit cash, get crypto and withdraw crypto for cash but would not be operated by a company, instead p2p filling of that machine
- As a Fellow at the Ethereum Foundation, I am exploring crypto’s potential to empower disenfranchised communities in the global south by delivering fairer economic systems. Read more on the EF's latest blog: https://blog.ethereum.org/2023/02/06/empower-latam-ethereum-fellows…

- Ok we ve been able to re-create pretty much all traditional social media apps on Lens pretty well.
Now lets create the F*** Metaverse on Lens.
Lets make sure its descentralized.
Lets make sure we have ownership over it
Lets make sure we can all build it together
- 💭 Imagine this:
You had a powerful analytics tool that gave you clarity into your social graph on Lens. You could surface any information and any statistic about your community of followers and collectors, and the Lens social graph at large.
What insights would you want to see? What questions do you have about your community that need answering?
- Collect to verify
We’re seeing various mechanisms of verification on the web, starting from KYC calls in banking, to hardcoded verified badges for a select profiles in web3. A lot goes in between and all of these things work on some extent, but not the other.
After hard look at it, we have decided to remove all of the existing verification marks on Lensta and introduce tiered verification system based on a single paid collect: 🥇🥈🥉
In very short: you collect the verification badge you feel the most suitable for you.
The paid collect transaction is a proof that you’re a serious participant in the community. No matter which tier you choose, all of them have a common theme, with the purchase you help to fund Lensta development and scaling.
Now more about tiers:
Bronze 🥉 (2.99 WMATIC) :
- bronze verification badge on your Lensta profile
- discord access + dedicated bronze channel
- supporting Lensta development
- premium feature access before general public
Silver 🥈 (6.90 WMATIC) :
- silver verification badge on your Lensta profile
- discord access + dedicated silver channel
- supporting Lensta development
- premium feature access before Bronze verified
- limited premium features
Gold 🥇 (24.99 WMATIC) :
- shiny gold verification badge on your Lensta profile
- discord access + dedicated gold channel
- supporting Lensta development
- premium feature access before everyone else
- limited premium features
- coffee with founders ( if in Berlin or overlapping conference )

*The Sovereign Individual*
- The Aave Fam is growing! It’s no secret that our team has been innovating in social media, with Lens Protocol to bring power back to users, right where it belongs. To continue our mission, we’re thrilled to announce the acquisition of Sonar, a mobile-first metaverse.
The metaverse has brought a whole new social layer to the internet, where users can truly own, collect and trade NFTs that make up their digital identity.
Co-founders Ben and Randolph have world-class experience in innovating in the social space, with Ycombinator’s Sonar being the first mobile metaverse where players built worlds using emojis and connected with spatial audio.
The Sonar team will be joining and bringing a new level of consumer experience to @LensProtocol, [redacted], and [redacted].
Sonar will continue as the newest addition to the Lensverse — existing Sonar users and Moji holders can now mint their Lens account profiles at claim.lens.xyz for the next 14 days.
In just over 6 months since launching in closed beta, Lens Protocol has surpassed 105k profiles & over 7.8M gasless transactions. Now with the talent and expertise of the Sonar team joining Lens, we are full steam ahead on our mission to develop the next generation of social.
Full Press Release here 👇
https://mirror.xyz/lensprotocol.eth/h5sIObR55cub_dSB6KHIjevpB1IUjtF-W-_Uw8eBRnw
Please join us in giving the Sonar team a warm welcome, and collect a limited edition ‘Sonar 🤝 Aave’ NFT below!

- In ETH India, We are planning to build “No-code NFT loyalty program”, where brands can create a NFT loyalty program like Starbucks’ program with Polygon easily and integrate Lens too!
https://golden-box-522.notion.site/No-code-NFT-loyalty-program-0d8b4e90b6ba4d08b575525315b5bc4f
In Lens’ document, I saw “Loyalty” is there as Inspiration for Builders.
So far, to be simple, our plan is if they mention and post on Lens in the campaign period, they can receive some special NFT.
But does anyone have other interesting ideas to maximize Lens and give a new experience as loyalty program? cc @nader.lens @fabri.lens

- Hey Lens fam! We’re currently looking to onboard a team member at Trust Protocol to build the infrastructure for composable trust graphs leveraging on-chain data and beyond. The role is for a Software Engineer/Data Scientist, you can see the position here: https://kaixmarcus.notion.site/Trust-Protocol-Software-Engineer-Data-Scientist-0f5b0f448e514352992737e6607f1b31
If anyone comes to mind for the role, let me know!
- I'd much rather be Infamous, with the ability to save the world. Rather than Famous, doing nothing, or worse, and influencing others to do the same.
- #Lenstopia onboarding series - part 3.
**Let’s Build**
Good things first:
There is no right or wrong, there are only ideas and implementations of ideas that are easier or harder to build on top.
I’d like to start with you today the first #Lenstopia band. Not sure about the name of the #band yet, nor the #genre, actually I don’t even know how many artists we should have in our band, nor which instruments they are supposed to play. That’s something we will figure out soon.
I know that I love drums. So the character I will create today is a drummer - playing in a band.
Idea ☑️
`(If you haven’t already now would be a great time to take a look at **part 2** of the series. You’ll find there, besides others, a detailed explanation of the #hashtag (structure). @cavernaeremita.lens published yesterday an awesome graphical overview of the different #Lenstopia collections and attributes (https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x1d6e-0x0519). Whenever you have issues wrapping your head around something in your creation process Eremita's miro board might help you out. For sure you can DM me if you have questions anytime as well 🌷 or even better ask your question in a post tagging #Lenstopia @ekene.lens)`
Speaking in Lenstopia terms I’ve just decided to create a new #Lenstopia Citizen (#LnTpColl00Citizens - “main collection”).
**What’s next?**
I need a “unique name” for my Citizen: Steph Moore (#LnTpNam00Steph00Moore)
And that’s it. In theory we could call it a day here. We have a collection and a (unique) name.
For our purpose, creating a member of the first #Lenstopia band, we should probably add some more attributes:
How should Steph “looks like”: I’ll go with human (#LnTpLoo00human). Other examples (!) are alien, android, hologram, zombie.
Where should my citizen live? Most of life happens today in Lenstercity (#LnTpCit00Lenstercity) but I like the idea Steph will become a citizen of Orbcity (#LnTpCit00Orbcity - “City”), Uptown (#LnTpGeo00Uptown - “Geolocation”).
How is Steph like?
The origin template (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fRVfQeXV50OL5qW5ZSp9gjhlC9tnNV-vG1bkgv49ImY/edit) uses “Vocation”, “Traits”, “Faction” and “Special Ability” to describe citizens.
Steph is into technology (#LnTpVoc00technology), ecology (#LnTpVoc00ecology) and art (#LnTpVoc00art).
Traits - can further be described as impulsive (#LnTpTra00impulsive), kind (#LnTpTra00kind) and musical (LnTpTra00musical).
Is neutral when it comes to faction -> #LnTpFac00none.
And Steph’s special ability is playing the drums like Dave Grohl but 130 years later. #LnTpSpa00drums . I just created a “new” special ability. Will it work? Idk, we will see.
Next step social relationships: Who are Steph’s friends, family, pets, …?
Relatives: don’t know yet …
Best friend: Steph’s best friend is #LnTpNam00Anita00Moon
Rival: not known yet, maybe there will be one as soon as another drummer wants to join the band.
Pet: none yet
Now we have covered all parts from the origin template.
For musicians it might make sense to add some more attributes like
Favourite music: #LnTpNam00Indie
Favourite band: #LnTpNam00The00Indexes @indexes.lens
Favourite instrument: #LnTpNam00Drums
Favourite location: #LnTpNam00Club00Backstage
We’ve created some Lenstopia elements attributed to Steph, floating in the Lenstopia universe without being reflected in the Lenstopia #hashtag structure (like #LnTpNam00Club00Backstage). Everyone can build now on top of the new elements. Or I can do that myself, of course: Create the club backstage and add it to the collection: #LnTpColl00RealEstate.
What’s next for Steph and the band?
Not too long ago a fantastic project started, finally someone is talking about (@chriscomrie.lens https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x011f55-0x0324) ;-), that helps a ton in creating an image of Steph. Imo it’s great if citizens have an image or more, but it’s not necessary. For example @memester.lens created #LnTpNam00Meme00Ster who doesn’t have an image associated yet (afaik).
Images are by far not the only creative element you can add to citizens. You can write stories, create music, videos, whatever content you have fun creating.
If you have added the creative element to your Lenstopia post the next question is should it be a 1:1 or should there be more collectable? Imho it makes sense to have 1:1s of citizens, pets and real estate.
**The band**
It would be awesome if we can create a #Lenstopia band together. You could for example
create musicians (citizens),
create or attribute music,
create a tour plan + poster,
merchandise,
write background stories,
create s rehearsal room,
…. 🌷
Alpha 1 for today: I will collect and raffle #LnTpNam00Steph00Moore at the end of the week between everyone who collected at least one of the "#Lenstopia onboarding series" posts.
Alpha 2 for today: read alpha from part 2.
That's it for today. If you have any questions, issues creating your #Lenstopia ... whatever you would like to build. PLEASE REACH OUT. Write a post and tag #Lesntopia @ekene.lens, DM me whatever you feel comfortable wit.
Feedback, as always, more than welcome 🌷

Unique name: #LnTpNam00Onboarding00Series1003
Instructor: #LnTpNam00Ekene00Lhamo
------------------
The #Lenstopia onboarding series is a collaboration of #Lenstopia with #LensAcademy.
The goal of the 5 day series is to explain #Lenstopia and enable everyone to participate.
14th to 18th of November. Every Day 6pm UTC.
The #Lenstopia onboarding series is supported by AlensΞ your friendly lens social media consulting. @alense.lens
- #Lenstopia onboarding series - **part 2**.
**Getting Started**
Before creating a #Lenstopia character, it might be helpful to have a look at what already exists.
Top 2 resources to start with:
+ **@lenstopia.lens** (mirroring Lenstopia related posts)
+ **#lenstopia** (click on the link or type “lenstopia” into the search bar)
@lenstopia.lens shows the existing Lenstopia collections on its profile page:
#LnTpColl00Citizens
#LnTpColl00Pets
#LnTpColl00Places
#LnTpColl00RealEstate
#LnTpColl00Lore
#LnTpColl00Consumables
#LnTpColl00Art
#LnTpColl00Wearables
#LnTpColl00Utilities
#LnTpColl00Stories
Maybe we start with demystifying the #hashtags :
`Why hashtags? -> hashtags are as of right now the only #lens native indexing feature`
`Why "00" everywhere? -> “00” is a hashtag friendly separator`
`LnTp -> Lenstopia`
`Coll -> collection (type)`
`Pets -> collection name (type name)`
Clicking (or searching for) the hashtag #LnTpColl00Pets will show all content tagged as pets collection. At the time of writing 8 pets (7 1:1 created by @cavernaeremita.lens and 1 open edition created by @natem.lens ) exist.
Every element of a collection has a - potentially infinite - number of attributes. Using “established” attributes makes life easier but that’s up to the creator.
Beautiful Sabah Li ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x1d6e-0x024d ) for example has the following attributes associated:
**Important**:
`1 - only hashtags are active attributes, inactive attributes (without hashtag) are only listed for inspiration: e.g.`
`LnTpLoo00dog : not active -> Sabah is not a dog`
`#LnTpLoo00cat : active -> Sabah is a cat`
`2 - the attributes have categories as well but that’s only for human readability. (Nobody needs that in 2123 ;-))`
Collection #LnTpColl00Pets
Name #LnTpNam00Sabah00Li
A: Looks like
LnTpLoo00dog #LnTpLoo00cat LnTpLoo00pig LnTpLoo00mouse LnTpLoo00frog LnTpLoo00bunny
B: City
LnTpCit00Unknown #LnTpCit00Lenstercity
C: Geolocation
LnTpGeo00Uptown LnTpGeo00Midtown LnTpGeo00Downtown #LnTpGeo00Countryside LnTpGeo00Unknown
D: Vocation

E: Traits
LnTpTra00altruistic #LnTpTra00selfish #LnTpTra00loyal LnTpTra00impulsive #LnTpTra00kind LnTpTra00abrasive
F: Faction
#LnTpFac00none LnTpFac00heroes LnTpFac00villains
G: Special ability
#LnTpSpa00none LnTpSpa00jumper LnTpSpa00velocity
H: Known social relationships
- you can tag already existing characters posted by you or by other creators, just enter his unique hashtag
I: Tutor:
#LnTpNam00Dikla00Madhu
J: Relatives
K: Best friend
L: Rival
M: Other information
- you can tag anything created by you or by other participants, just enter his unique hashtag, examples below
N: Favourite food
K: Favourite place
You can do the same with every other collection. If you click on #LnTpColl00Stories you will find every post related to the “#Lenstopia onboarding series”. Soon there might be short stories, lyrics or educational content as well.
If you are interested in #Lenstopia from a collectible point of view you will realise that there is quite some demand for #Lenstopia content. As of today not a single #Lenstopia 1:1 is available.
@lensport.lens maybe? Unfortunately lensport doesn’t support search for content / hashtags yet so it’s quite challenging to find #Lenstopia content. To save you time, I tried to find 1:1s on lensport but there is, at the time of writing, not a single one for sale.
I’ll come back to that in a minute.
What else:
@molens.lens and @59401.lens created an oncyber gallery for Lenstopia 1:1s https://oncyber.io/lenstopia .
If "buy" is not an option for a Lenstopia character, there is only "build" left. And that's exactly what we will do tomorrow.
**>>> PLEASE write in the comments what you would like to build tomorrow. <<<**
On that note, see you tomorrow 🌷.
Alpha 1 for today: you might want to take a look at https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x1d6e-0x0295 and if you really dig deep …
Alpha 2 for today: If you would like to collect this post, consider collect your mirror.
Feedback, as always, more than welcome 🌷
Part 3 will follow tomorrow. 6pm UTC.

- Shall we play a game?
If you lost your job or business, and you were left with 1,000 euros, what would you do with it to make money?
*You have food and paid all your bills for 3 months, that is 1000 euros you have free, which you can dispose of easily:)
The best answer will get a prize from me:)
#lens #lenster #people
- :-) the shortest tl;dr I can think of:
#Lenstopia is the most inclusive game design you can imagine. Think of loot with empty loot boxes ;-).
Everyone can participate based on personal skills and interests: create images, write stories, contribute/attribute music, ... develop a game (software), create a map, create drinks, food, iterate on the game structure, ... it's literally "early". And it always will be.
@cavernaeremita.lens gave some great examples of game elements like Citizens (with attributes), Cities, Pets, we have seen a first shop and a gallery with awesome art.
And @cavernaeremita.lens created a structure (hashtags) to connect the elements. That's basically all you need to know.
some maybe helpful resources:

- WHAT IS A COMMUNITY ON LENS AND HOW DO WE DEFINE IT
Creators + Curators + Collectors = Community
- A follow on Lens equals a lot 🌿 When your profile and social graph is secured by the blockchain, no one can take that follow away from you. You own your social network and the social capital you maintain through your profile. This is web3, everything else is the same old.
- every null USDC collect of this post will go towards a 24hr on-chain 50/50 raffle. half will go to me and the other half will be sent to a provably random collector at the end of the collect period! the contracts were written by me, leveraging chainlink's vfr generator and 0xsplits.xyz. have fun and good luck :)
