A huge shout out for his incredible work on this collaboration. Good Bonsai 🌳 Check your Bonsai NFTs at https://app.bonsai.meme/ The Bonsai DN404 smart contract was designed to allow the artwork to grow and evolve as the community does.

The tribes have merged. This is now an individual game.
Only at WEB3 will the new single "Good People?" be pre-released. Collect this post and you'll get access to the full version of the song and extra perks! And a 1,000 $HURRICOIN reward! The 4th single “Good People?” is out now on Spozz.club (officially 19 April) and is a real shoegaze meets punk rock anthem driven forward by the band’s ferocious snarling call for people to “think for themselves in these times of “bubble-opinion building”. The songs move effortlessly from swaggering "wall of sound"-esque shoegaze anthems to reflective and fragile ballads, while playing with a lyrical universe that takes obvious inspiration from the Pop Art movement, with its love for hiding deeper meaning behind deceptively simple, recognizable, ironic and almost mass-produced hook lines. The single concludes a successful 2024 pre-album-release PR cycle that has seen the band land Spanish management, Polish label partners, public love from football icon Markus Babbel and a first major editorial Spotify playlist placement with "The Hurricane" on "All New Rock". DEAD STAR TALK will moreover play 10 release shows in major cities such as Madrid, Warsaw and Copenhagen and festivals such as Talavera Spring Festival around the album release in May-June 2024.

Midnight calls to be the first in line today But I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know Where to stand, where to work and where to play Yeah I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know Will you good people lead the way Cause my two feet will lead astray Will you good people lead the way And we shall find the good in me Morning comes in a haze I drift away Where I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know How to steer I just go for more delay Yeah I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know Will you good people lead the way Cause my two feet will lead astray Will you good people lead the way And we shall find the good in me Will you good people lead the way Cause my two feet will lead astray Will you good people lead the way And we shall find the good in me

**Setting the terms on how your social content is used:** ICYMI @lens/hey on @lens/lens launched creator licenses for collectible social content. With three license types to choose from - CC0, commercial use, and personal use - creators posting on Hey now have more options to set more terms on: ✅ Ownership of their social content; ✅ Control over its usage; ✅ Future attribution and revenue sharing Introduced initially with the v2 protocol metadata update for app developers, it establishes initial on-chain metadata licensing standards across the Lens ecosystem. This marks a first step towards a future of programmable, composable, and ownership-friendly social media. Vital for the future of remix-able co-creation of content and creativity. We're excited to continue innovating in this are of the social space with partners such as @lens/storyprotocol , https://twitter.com/TripsCreators and more.

One of the biggest challenges in Web3 is balancing composability and risk. Two recent innovations have opened the door to create novel social experiences while tackling this dilemma. **Lens Open Actions** and **Farcaster Frames** Open actions are smart contract calls embedded into an on-chain publication. They enable developers to embed specific contract calls, parameters, revenue models, and logic (token-gating, follow-gating). The key benefits of embedding an interaction as a smart contract module are provenance and immutability. Both the creator and executor can explicitly agree to the terms of execution, and these terms can be verified by anyone. Frames are a way to embed interactive apps into a social feed. They enable developers to embed an image and buttons into a social feed, and trigger a callback on button press to update the frame. Some use cases of Frames are polls, games, or relay-sponsored transactions. Frames provide a rigid way to embed a frontend experience, while delegating the execution to a callback function which can execute anything. Open actions are essentially the complement to this design: explicitly defined action and open-ended frontend experience. The beauty of these primitives and Web3 in general is that they can work interoperably. I envision a world where where publications on Lens and Farcaster can co-exist by referencing and interacting with each other. One thing is for certain: the future of agreements is on-chain.

Len‘s LIP motivation is good to involve the community from the beginning of the protocol building.

Hey Lensfrens!! 🍷 Continuing with my Chile photo dumps, let’s talk about **Valparaíso**. This city might not grab your attention at first with its old port and buildings, but the real charm is hidden in the Cerros. Walking through these hills, I found amazing street art at every corner. It's like the whole city is an art gallery! One of the things I loved most were the cats – they’re everywhere! On the streets, in the art, adding life to the city. As a proud mom of 3 cats and a cat lover, Valparaíso felt like a special place. It’s a city where art and cats blend perfectly, making every street worth exploring. Have you been to Valpa? Did you lose yourself among the Cerros? Let me know!
I'd love to listen to the melody and have a snap in the noon zzzzz
Today is my birthday 🎂 If you guess my age correctly in a comment 👇, I'll set up a @lens/superfluid stream of 0.000000000000000001 @lens/fraction_token per second (1 DIDI/s) for a full year to your @lens/lensprotocol handle ✌️ Happy guessing ^^ (Offer ends after 24h, when it's not my birthday anymore)
Lens Protocol follows the steps to become a public good. Few months ago, our team released Lens Improvement Proposals (LIPs) as an initiative towards more community-driven governance.
