- Today marks our 1 Year Anniversary of making friends onchain 🎂!
Thank you to everyone who has made the first year of Lens Protocol so special and groundbreaking. Lens has brought together builders, creators, communities, and friends, all while in beta.
There's so much planned for the second year ahead, and we can't wait to continue to grow with all of you.
Who did you become frens with on Lens?

- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
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 Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai 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.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work 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.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

- **Coinbase will launch an exchange outside the US, probably as early as next week.**
The company chose Bermuda as the place of registration of the new exchange. On April 19, the exchange released an official statement announcing that it had received a license to operate from the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

- **Coinbase has announced the listing of the Flare token ($FLR).**
Platform users have been waiting for this event since December 12, 2020, when the exchange announced a Flare airdrop for all XRP holders on Coinbase. Trading of the token will be available as soon as there is sufficient liquidity and after the airdrop distribution is completed. Cryptocurrency will be added to Coinbase with the label "Experimental", which is used for new or low-liquid assets.

- おはよう @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
The Lens team is on the ground and we're so excited to bring the social layer of web3 to Japan.
We have $20k in prizes for the hackathon!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
🎖️ 10 best Lens Integrations for nullk each
Lens is web3 native meaning it’s simple to build native payment features directly into your app. Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries, and in a permissionless way. Premium content, token-gated rewards, tipping, crowdfunding, subscription services, referral, and affiliate programs are just a handful of the countless types of integrations you can build with Lens.
Looking for some inspiration?
- We're still in the early innings of AI and ML and want to see more devs utilizing the latest innovations from OpenAI, Replicate, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Dust just to name a few. Imagine the possibilities when web3 social intersects with AI/ML 🤯
- You could use AI/ML to analyze a user’s feed over the course of a few days and condense it into a single view so they can visit less often and still be up to date with what’s the latest and greatest.
- Or create a social learning platform that uses AI to create personalized learning paths for users. It could assess users' knowledge levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and provide real-time
feedback and guidance.
- You could use Lens profiles specifically for your gaming identity. Imagine your in-game items and high scores attached to your Lens profile and you curate a Lens leaderboard for the community.
- Bust a move! Build an app that lets users participate in virtual dance-off challenges. Users can record and upload their dances, challenge friends or random users, and compete for the elusive best dancer on Lens title 💃🕺
- Build a community app for @galverse.lens on Lens that utilizes the Splits for Collects feature (https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/create-post-typed-data#multirecipientfeecollectmodule) and you'll help with the development of the anime, character design, story, and more.
- Imagine using the Collect module for more exclusive content such as event ticketing.
- How about building a governance forum specifically for Lens users? gm DAOs 🤔
- Calling all pet lovers out there. Create a social platform where users can showcase their pets' talents, tricks, and general awesomeness. Users can upload videos of their pets and participate in virtual talent shows, with categories like "Best Trick," and "Funniest Moment"
- Want to bridge that gap from web2 social to web3? Build a site that shows you the most followed people that have used a site (maybe the 🐦 app) or help users connect their web2 account and generate a ZKP for mapping.
- Or a Lens creator dashboard for tracking post analytics (engagement, collects, revenue, etc) and helping you find your 1000 true fans.
- Maybe you find yourself collecting every post from one of the 100k profiles already on Lens. Create a module to “subscribe” to someone and automatically collect everything the post within certain parameters.

- **FTX's new management, led by CEO John Ray III, today released its first interim report on governance failures on the bankrupt exchange.**
The 45-page report details FTX's inconsistent accounting records, near-missing cybersecurity tools, and lack of competence in key areas such as finance. One of the more notable moments involved Alameda Research. Former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried spoke of Alameda as a non-auditable company in internal communications: “Alameda is non-auditable. I don't mean that 'a large accounting firm will have limitations in auditing it'; I mean, 'we can only roughly determine what balances he has, let alone something like a full transaction history.' Sometimes we find $50 million of assets that are lost in the accounts; that is life".

- **1800 ETH (~ $3.3 million) was stolen from the wallet of one of the users of the SushiSwap exchange.**
The decentralized exchange team discovered a vulnerability in the Route Processor2 smart contract responsible for routing trade, as a result of which hackers stole about 1800 ETH from the account of the co-founder of the bankrupt QuadrigaCX exchange, Michael Patrin. An alleged white hat hacker named Trust tweeted that he was the first to discover this vulnerability and withdrew Patrin's 100 ETH in order to return them later. However, the attackers traced the attack vector and repeated it.

- **Looks like the whales won't stop buying Arbitrum 😬**
Another big capital bought ARB for $500,000. Average purchase price null.18.
He buys this coin for half a million dollars almost every day for several weeks. This address currently holds this coin for $12.9 million.
As you can see, Arbitrum is almost the most bought coin among big capitals in recent times, as soon as it started trading, the whales began to buy it for tens of millions of dollars every day.
- 🏴☠️🍣 #SUSHI SushiSwap: A plan is being developed to return the rescued funds. When this is completed, it will be announced via an announcement on Sushi Twitter and Discord.
The development team will identify all addresses affected by the RouteProcessor2 exploit.
If your funds were stolen, check if they went to this address: 0x74Ebb8e8d0B0cc65F06040EB0f77B5DA0e33fFeE.
If yes, then they have been saved and will be back to you soon! If they've gone somewhere else, they've probably been stolen, so send your details to security@sushi.com for help.
The user interface has been updated to remove the affected contract, so if you have revoked access before, you can now continue trading
- **The bitcoin white paper is probably hiding in every modern version of the macOS operating system.**
This conclusion was made by programmer Andy Baio, who discovered it on his computer while trying to fix a wireless printer. In the settings, Baio found a new Virtual Scanner II device that showed a photo. When Baio changed the media type from "Photo" to "Document", Nakamoto's official document appeared. The white paper opened on every device tested by Baio, his friends, and Cointelegraph. Baio suggested that it was "just a handy, lightweight, multi-page PDF for testing purposes that was never meant to be viewed by end users."

- **2Coinbase supported a lawsuit against the US Treasury to lift sanctions on Tornado Cash.**
Plaintiffs allege that the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) exceeded its statutory powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and violated the free speech clause under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Paul Grewal, head of the Coinbase legal department, believes that the arguments brought to the court are simple and very strong, so the decision can be made in favor of the plaintiffs.

At the same time, Coinbase states that the SEC has not given their company any clarification on registration issues, despite 30 official requests from the company over the past 9 months.
