You’ve probably seen countless speculations about “guaranteed” airdrop from Lens - we have come to the conclusion that most likely none of these speculations will end up to be true, our evidence points to something more nuanced than these.
Many assume @lensprotocol is just following the usual airdrop blueprint and will reward anyone who made a couple of posts and has a 2 digit follower count. This narrative has been pushed on tweetr by threadoors to farm engagement - read on to learn what our research revealed **👇**
1️⃣ Lens target business model
2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops
3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project
Now let’s review each 🔎
**1️⃣ Lens target business model**
If you were at Lens 1st Twitter Spaces last yr you’d notice that the entire chat was about artists + music NFTs. @stani.lens keeps on posting about the same & even reached out to some rappers. He also hired ex-TikTok staff - app known for creative content
Use Lens advanced post search tool by @rickydata.lens and see how often Stani posts about this:
‘Music’ 👉46 posts
‘Rap’ 👉27 posts
..and so on
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0102cc-0x01a9
🧠 Conclusion: Lens is targeting indie creatives and wants them to be posting their content on Lens. You, random degen, is not their top priority as poster right now, sorry 🥲. You’re still wanted on Lens, but mainly as collector of their posts
Why target creatives?
Because artists can sell their art as NFTs on Lens and Lens can get a cut from these sales. This is a potential source of revenue that makes their business model sustainable over the long run
Also, if everyone starts buying & selling each others’ posts, it’ll make use of Lens’ key feature - you own your data and are free to monetise it. See the statements made in their Open Letter
Lens = social content marketplace
**2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops**
Stani is known as someone who doesn’t like to do airdrops. We think he means “standard” airdrops here that just reward every participant. But he clearly understands the pitfalls of just dropping a token to everyone who interacted with the platform.
🧠 Conclusion: content that adds value > random posts to game the system in the hopes of airdrop
Simply posting stuff on Lens that doesn’t generate any traction (non-viral content) and doesn’t add much value is unlikely to be determining factor imo
Still, Stani is Web3 native & understands that not rewarding early supporters is a lost game, especially for a project that requires social support. We may see some rewards for being early user, we just think that it’s unlikely the MAIN criteria
**3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project**
Based on the same Open Letter, Stani has big plans for Lens to challenge Web2 social media giants. If Lens is to take on TikTok & Twitter, it needs many more users than just Web3 natives. They need to reach ‘normies’
https://www.lens.xyz/letter
But right now there’s only 88k Lens handles with a post. Hard to say how many of these are Sybils. Compare this to Twitter and TikTok user base and global reach. We’re still early and normies aren’t here yet
https://dune.com/gm365/lens
🧠 Speculation: expect some creative way to incentivise normies to join Lens. $LENS content monetisation (social mining?). Vampire airdrop targeting top creators on YouTube, TikTok etc? Wouldn’t that be crazy & generate big mainstream buzz?
So what MIGHT happen, based on the above?
🌿 If there’s airdrop, simply minting Lens handle and sitting on it won’t do. This is not ENS
🌿 Creators that managed to generate a following and sales via collects (+those that collected their NFTs) might stand higher chance of rewards
🌿 Buildors (Lenster, Orb, Lenstube etc) might also get allocation just like we have seen with Arbitrum and Optimism Stack. It could be up to the projects then how to use this allocation - some might choose to reward past users, some might choose to do incentives
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 Introduce monetisation where the more engagement your post gets (via paid collects for example), the more $LENS you get. Similar to liquidity mining but on a social media app. Social mining? Think monetisation on YouTube
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 As mentioned above - vampire airdrop to creatives with a following on current Web2 social media. They would then have to shift to Web3 if they want to claim their tokens. Would be a big onboarding event for their followers too
Gaming the criteria will be almost impossible, abuse is avoided thanks to @sismo zkdrop - to get an idea how it could look like, check out Sismo Ethereum Influencer ZK-badge:
https://app.sismo.io/twitter-ethereum-influencers
🌿 Being early supporter might still play a role.
But quality posts > quantity, plus focusing on what Lens team is focusing on atm (supporting creatives by collecting their paid posts) might be a better alpha play. So create good paid content or collect it from others
**What action to take if you have no coding skills and aren’t a creative talent?**
🌿 be consistent: try to switch to Lens protocol as your preferred social media platform, interact with other active users daily
Stay tuned, we will drop more opportunities for our subscribers to actively interact on Lens protocol in a fun way - promised!
@punkess.lens has got you covered with the most extensive resource on how to get started on Lens:
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1452
🌿 become a collector: most paid collects are fairly cheap <10 WMATIC, a good start is to collect this post! Don’t miss this opportunity, we’ll give away our KoruDAO NFT to 1 lucky collector! #LMMC this post to enter the fair raffle via @lensdropxyz.lens 👇
@korudao.lens is the first DAO owned Lens account, the 282 KoruDAO NFT holders are able to post on Lens protocol from a 10k subs account. The projects was started by the OG’s from @gelato.lens and is currently in the process of finding a consensus between DAO members (=NFT holders) to provide the most value to the DAO over short time goals from individual members. An interesting experiment to say the least and hence the NFTs floorprice on OS is currently at $285.

- New day, new update to the Fernet Traveller tracker!
This time is a community update, wasn't me! #PublicBuilding
https://0xviajero.eth.limo
- I gifted myself an early birthday present, I haven’t been racing motocross for about 4 years, since I left my beautiful country 🇦🇷
It was about time to get back 🔥
- So, it was 1999 or so, and I was figuring out how to make this "computer music" with software that was basically impossible to get as I had no internet connection at home. I would download very early Fruity Loops versions at the University with an ultra slow connection and then take it on floppy disks home to install and toy around with music making.
A couple days ago I was searching for an essay I've done for school back in the days on this ancient hard-drive and accidentally found a couple of tunes I was working on on those days. A couple sounded pretty decent having in mind how and when they were made so I chose one to drop here. At the time I was doing this music, it was all for the fun. Kind of a distraction more than something I would care to do in the future. More than 20 years have passed and I never had a job non music related since then. My hobby, my job. Collect that. 🙂
- What is your price prediction for ARB?
- The market would always take us by surprise.... Just a few days ago people thought the rally was over and were calling for 25K
- So we have been sitting around $28K like forever, it's either we break very hard towards $30K or drop stupidly to like $24K
- This week has just been very backwards for the entire crypto space
- So CZ has interpol RED NOTICE or just FUD? The FUD on the largest exchange on the crypto space has been very consistent and now its getting ridiculous, first was BNB, then BUSD now they are attacking CZ himself.
- It's funny how life can be sometimes. It seems like nothing is happening then all of a sudden everything is happening. Yet some people believe there is no higher realm?! How come everything falls in alignment if there is no higher realm?
- So the whole Metamask taking snapshot on the 31st was just rumor? I burnt my funds in gas fees just for it to be a rumor.
- RUMOR has it that Metamask would be taking their snapshot this week on the 31st, If you haven't interacted please do so by interacting from BNB chain to polygon chain to save gas fees.
- The crypto market is volatile this week, do we see a massive candle to the upside or downside? I'm really hoping for a big chunk of green candles, we've had enough pain.
- What if the real $Arb season is about to start? Because I clearly remember after the launch of $Aptos ecosystem it consolidated for a while before popping up including the NFTS.
- Dropping something fun tomorrow - stay tuned 🤫
- In-depth analysis on 5 top tier ecosystem tokens you should pay close attention to on Arbitrum.

- My top ARB projects
1. Radiant Capital $RDNT
2. RoseonExchange $ROSN
3. Nitroshib
4. Arbinu
The last two are like the meme coins of the ecosystem, there is absolutely no way we don't see the meme coin of the biggest L2 now rally.

- Do we see ARB to $10 soon? Or were we just fed with hopium?
- @layer3.lens 🤝 brave 🦁
- Is this the arbitrum season we were promised? Or should we give it some time?
What do y'all think?

Today I have made an important decision in my life 📢
I quit my job today and going to focus full-time on maintaining the first-ever open-source frontend @lenster.lens 🌸 powered by @lensprotocol 🌿.
Building social media was my dream since 10th grade, I built more than 4 social media in public but all failed, Lenster is my 5th one and it’s going crazy ⚡️.
I believe building in public is key 🔑 to the success of a product.
We have a lot of items queued up in the roadmap, be excited about it 🕺
**Collect this post for 2 WMATIC and support Lenster’s development 🙏**
- Feedback time! What do you like about Lens as a protocol? within the apps/integrators and experience? what do you don’t like? honest feedback needed :)
