My strategy to manage these risks: choose open source, avoid proprietary APIs.

- UX of @rainbow.lens is just 🤩. Now collecting points too. Not sure why, gamification they said. ☺️

- Posted on X but forgot to use @lens/yup_io to properly cross-post here. Sorry, https://x.com/schmid_si/status/1746493389162639790?s=20. Next time. I promise.
- Today I improved my web3 setup:
- Deployed a @safe at safe.schmidsi.eth with my phone as second signer. Simple 2FA. Only $ 22. Affordable security.
- Moved some NFTs there
- Setup @yup_io.lens to post this message on @lens, @farcaster and X.
Pretty cool 😎
- „Ultra-sound content“ 🦇🔊🖌️
Lens and DeSoc in general simply explained by @stani.lens at @ethglobal.lens Pragma in Tokyo.
- @rickydata.lens shares great insights into web3 data science at CU Boulder
- Last Tuesday my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Sebastian.
**Unfortunately** immediately after Jenya experienced some serious complications which eventually led to kidney failure and a number of other problems. She was airlifted to Standford Hospital and admitted to the ICU. She is under great care now and is fighting for her health.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. This is a hard time for us, because Jenya is going to be stuck in the hospital most likely for weeks if not months and it’s still uncertain how much the damage is to her body. She is such an amazing person and I love her so much.
Any donations or collects will help with medical bills, gas to get back and forth to visit Jenya as well as food and supplies for the baby.
Please repost this. #health #love #help #hospital #medical

- **Lens Protocol Application Ecosystem Update 🌿 [2023]**
The #Lensverse is poised to become the largest developer ecosystem in history, thanks to the unparalleled openness and composability of web3 ecosystems and the ease of use of our API. With a growing market demand for social media applications, we’re on track to become the biggest on-ramp to the blockchain industry yet.
In just six short months, we’ve already seen nearly 300 applications and hackathon projects built on Lens. With exciting new projects and verticals emerging all the time, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the Lensverse.
Boasting a user base of over 100,000 and facilitating over 10 million gasless transactions it’s an exhilarating time to be part of the Lensverse. So, let’s take a look at the latest curated applications, libraries, and resources that contribute to the growth and vitality of our ecosystem. None of this would have been achievable without the tireless efforts of all the incredibly talented teams working towards a shared vision.

- Gm! Hmm, I have 350+ followers on Lens now including CZ which is probably a fake profile. Say gm back if you are real.
- gm to my new followers 🥰. There was a surge of new followers the last days. Not sure why but I appreciate it and commit to more great posts in the future!
- Ready for @ethglobal #ethindia. Who is coming?
- Sorry to say but in my opinion name squatting is value extraction. Like holding and trading stuff like alice.eth/.lens, etc. I mean, I get it, could be easy money, why not?
Morally more acceptable if it is big brand or rich celebrity. But still, let‘s focus on value creation and positive sum games: Building and creation. 🎨🏗 That‘s why I love hackathons.
- I have the impression that some buidlers in the space, that I admire for their big brains, have the tendency to overcomplicate things and creating solutions to problems nobody really has right now.
I consider myself part of that bubble too (except the big brain). So, which are some reality checks that we can perform regularly to avoid this? How to prevent pre-mature optimization? (Which is the root of all evil) Why is web3 much more affected than web2?
- I think some new people have trouble finding the right people to follow when they first join Lens.
If you want a follow drop a comment here, and if you have any favorite handles to follow, share them here as well.

- Who is coming to @ethglobal.lens ETH San Francisco hackathon? We are hosting a Fullstack Web3 Development workshop on Thursday at House of Web3. Level up your hacking skills before the hackathon.
- We'll learn how to write and deploy a smart contract on Polygon with @stepho.lens
- Explore how to develop and deploy a subgraph for that contract
- Use Scaffold-ETH to build a frontend on top of the contract and subgraph
- Use @push_.lens to enable decentralised notifications
- Debug and monitor it with Tenderly
Few seats are still left: https://lu.ma/ml1mlrxv
- gm frens. My first post from @orbapp.lens. I plan to spend much more time here than on Twitter. Was waiting for a great mobile app since I mostly consume and engage with social media on mobile. And here we go. Very excited. Well done!

- Hacking a MEV
[Rekt - RIP MEV BOT](https://www.rekt.news/)
DeFi / Crypto - Zero pity. The notorious MEV bot known as 0xbad has fallen on hard times, just like the rest of us. After 75 days of exploiting value from unexpecting users, this mempool menace backfired on its owner, creating a beautiful display of on-chain karma.
