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.

Podcast NFTs are back with a Lens Protocol exclusive ft. Christina Beltramini. This drop celebrates S7E15 with @christina - an eye-opening conversation covering her time growing web2 social at TikTok to now growing web3 social at Lens. From championing the curator to breaking down the new era of user-generated content, our session dives into a ton. The inspiration behind this drop stems from the realization that a creator's community of collectors will surpass its community of followers. Lens currently embodies this best and has enabled a new experiment between the intersection of content distribution and collection. I've been active on here for months now and consistently get more engagement across web3 social, though I have yet to experiment with its full potential. That changes tomorrow. Drop details: When: Thursday (tomorrow), 12 PM PST Where: On Lens (URL texted Thursday) Format: 24 hr open edition Collect: 1 $WMATIC (You **do not** need a Lens profile to collect). Since I'm dropping this native on Lens, I will not be using my website. Rather, I'll be sending a brief text + URL to collect via Laylo. 🔗 RSVP to get notified when we're live: https://laylo.com/levy/aG9OY

hello lens 💜 i’m so thrilled to be here. i've been involved in this ecosystem since 2017 and despite the ups and downs i'm still so excited and enthusiastic about how this technology can empower artists to break away from the music industrial complex. more importantly, allow creators to connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. it's the best time ever to be an independent artist. although my main gig has always been music, i've always been a visually oriented person. in fact, in 2002 i almost went to design school instead of music. i often wonder how things would have turned out. i've been lucky enough to work with amazing visual artists over the years to craft album artwork and a cohesive vision, but lately i've been dabbling with creating my own. which brings me to this image, an abstract architectural space, somewhat liminal but i find it weirdly comforting. it's a free collectible for following me on this journey. i'll be posting music, art, video and combinations of all three. a million thanks to the lens team for helping me get the coveted 3 letter handle. ✨

I have always been fascinated by the question of what makes certain content truly valuable and shareable, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about what motivates people to collect and how to create content that speaks to them on a deeper level. That's why I'm excited to introduce Mint Season 7 to the world. The next 20 episodes will span three months and focus on every aspect of "Creating Content Worth Collecting," a tagline that I hope will inspire more creators to shift their focus from algorithmic virality to creating content of collectible quality. We’ll highlight various forms of tokenized media like music NFTs, podcast NFTs, writing NFTs, film NFTs, video NFTs, and crypto art, and answer questions like: 1. What does it take to create content worth collecting? 2. What are the links between viral distribution and onchain monetization via collection? 3. How can content creators use tokenized media and NFTs to increase value and strengthen relationships with their audience? 4. How will DeFi and tokenized media intersect and develop in the future? 5. What are the main challenges for crypto-native content creators and tokenized media projects and 6. how will they be addressed? 7. How will decentralization change content creation and consumption in the web3 world? 8. Will traditional media adapt to or be replaced by decentralized organizations in the web3 landscape? 9. What challenges and opportunities will the web3 media industry face as it grows and how can they be addressed? 10. How will the user experience of web3 media differ from traditional web media and how will this affect content consumption? I hope that by exploring this topic in-depth, we can help more creators understand what makes content valuable to collect and how to create content worth collecting that resonates with their audience. This season, listeners will hear from a variety of high-profile creators, savvy collectors, and ambitious founders on their strategies for producing collectible content. We’ll hear from: • Farokh -- Founder of Rug Radio. • Robin Schmidt -- Founder of BasedAF. • Zack Guzman -- Host of Coinage Media. • Alice Ma -- Co-Founder of Mad Realties. • Jacob Horne -- Co-Founder of Zora Protocol. • Chase Chapman -- Host of the OthersidePod. • Diana Chen -- Host of Rehash Podcast. • Aidan Musnitzky -- Founder of Spinamp. • Christina Beltramini -- Head of Growth at The Aave Companies (Lens Protocol). • 0xLucas -- Head of Web3 at Bankless. • Gami -- Founder of Gnars DAO. • Peter Saputo -- Music NFT Artist. • Roberto Nickson -- Founder of Metav3rse. • Pplpleasr -- Legendary, crypto-native digital artist. • TK the Legend -- Music NFT Artist. • BlockchainBrett -- Partner at Palm Tree Club. • John Crain -- Founder of SuperRare. • Sam Sends -- Co-Founder of Glass Protocol. • RŌHKI -- Web3-native music collective. • Colin Armstrong -- Founder of Paragraph I'm showcasing Lens Protocol and Bello.lol this season, who's collected the podcast’s soulbound NFTs, granting them promotional utility throughout the season. I also thank Cointelegraph and CryptoSlate, this season's media partners. The season is available to enjoy across all video and audio streaming platforms and new social apps built on Lens Protocol, such as Lenstube and Lensterxyz. I'm excited to focus more of my efforts on this mindset shift. One of the reasons I launch new seasons with accompanying themes is to get answers to my personal questions and curate the right people to provide insight on the topic. That’s how I organized Mint Season 1 and how I will continue to lead future seasons to come. **Keep up with the podcast season by subscribing to my newsletter and getting notified when new episodes are available** ➡️ https://adamlevy.io/mint-season-7. ------ **Additional Resources** Collect Season 7's free subscriber NFT on Mirror: https://levy.mirror.xyz/M2wQQhvkt8ayvdKFiN1wbx_ANfJ2ry0pbFsHGcpVkKY
**The Rise Of UGC 2.0: User Generated Collects** Everyone has seen the power of User-Generated Content 'UGC' in the age of social media. Here's why UGC 2.0 or 'User-Generated Collects' will be the next evolution of this format unlocked by the blockchain. I have been posting snippets here on Lenster the last few weeks about these themes as I framed out my article. Here is the final piece: **https://mirror.xyz/chrissyb.eth/r0SyE9QdvQribykjXvdMqYElGQT8ZFnthV_rUlyNqNk** #LMCC Inspired by the following people: @ladidaix, @ryanfox, @bellosights (@levychain), @stani and @azeem. **Cliff notes:** In today's one-directional social media interactions, "likes'' are abundant & meaningless when it comes to generating authentic connections or content discovery. Instead of simply liking something, we would rather participate. UGC 2.0 is not just a new format, it will revolutionize social media by unlocking far-reaching effects on content consumption than its predecessor. Collectable social content will enrich our experiences and create new forms of digital engagement between creators and users alike. By giving creators and users ownership & control of their content without the impediments of gatekeepers they can leverage it into new opportunities across fandom, community connectivity, curation, data and monetization. Creators aren’t defined by one platform or medium anymore. The creators, curators and communities of tomorrow will be empowered by data transparency aggregated across the entire social ecosystem without the gatekeepers and centralized databases of today. A more sustainable environment for the long tail and micro-creator to flourish as a result. Indexing less on numbers such as reach and likes, instead providing the tools to focus on quality and depth of relationship and content. It will also mark the future of brand creation. Changing how brands interact with consumers as active participants in their own social consumption. This is what @lensprotocol strives for. I hope this piece helps scratch the surface and inspires creators, users and builders to explore the possibilities.

gm video creators of Lens! 🌿 Excited to announce the highly-requested feature - **video views** 👀 is now live on #Lenstube! This is a basic but important metric for creators to understand how their videos are performing. For now, you can find the video view count on the video page itself. View count registers start views with deduping logic that prevents users from attempting to inflate view counts. In the future, we'll support additional viewership and engagement metrics so you can better understand popularity and performance. What other metrics do you want to see for Lenstube?

Hey!, my name is Benjamin Gutiérrez, one of the founders of Wav3s 🤝 and I'm here to tell you the story of how I went from a regular job to living my dream of working full-time on Wav3s. At the end of 2021, together with @cristianvaldivia.lens , another Wav3s founder, we decided to leave our start-up at the peak of success. We were working like crazy without much remuneration, but it was impossible to scale, since we were working with hardware. We knew we wanted to take the plunge and dive into the world of Web 3, since our team meetings always ended up with us discussing the exciting world of blockchain. We had a couple of ideas, but nothing concrete - so each one of us went our own way. I spent the next year automating processes in several companies, while still studying up to launch myself into entrepreneurship in Web3. The second semester of 2022 changed everything. With Cristian, we attended our first crypto event in Argentina - and it just so happened that it was on my birthday! It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had, getting to know the crypto community and projects like Poap , which helped us a lot to connect with more people. But the highlight of the week was when Stani talked about Lens protocol - it blew my head off! 🤯 When I arrived back in Chile, I was disappointed to find that there was not the same level of community and activity. I apply to become a Polygon Guild Mage, to create the Polygon community in Chile. Hundreds of people applied, and luckily I was chosen - I think my travels to Argentina helped. Thanks to being a Polygon Guild Mage, I was given a scholarship to Devcon. We participated in the Hackathon and I still think we should have won a prize, because our product was really good - and the product work perfectly. We created a humanity verification system with Poap, so if you shared POAPs with another person, you could validate them as human - a simple, but useful idea to fight bots. 🤖 Although our project, Verify me or Soureal, didn't work out, I still have a lot of affection for it. We had the chance to meet the entire Lens team, including Stani, and they invited us to rAave and more. 🤗 When we returned to Chile, we met @bvdaniel.lens , the other Wav3s founder, and tested a couple of ideas within the Lens ecosystem. When we made it public on Lens, nobody tested it or even liked it. We felt completely unnoticed, so we decided to create Wav3s, so that everyone could spread their publications through Lens - and the growth it has had, and all the support we've received, still amazes. The conclusion of this story is that one decision can open or close a world of opportunities - so don't be afraid to take a risk, because you may find something even better! 🤩
