Sterling (@sterling) • Hey
Hi I’m Sterling. I’m working in web3 and recently hacking on Lens
Publications
- Curious for all you crypto devs out there. When splitting a secret with Shamir, what is your preferred configuration of shares / threshold to maxamize security and redundancy?
Has anyone considered just using bitwise operations with generated symmetric keys instead of Shamir?
- Is anyone else using Zed instead of VSCode?
- I was pretty disappointed to see shark fin soup as a menu item at multiple restraunts in tacloban Philippines recently.
Would like to see that removed from the menu sometime.
- In the Philippines I saw this amazing church in a cave. Pretty cool. They discovered one of the oldest human skeletons in this cave. This seems like something out of a movie
- I no longer the the claim $bonsai screen :/ is there a way to claim still? It was lagging for me
- Hey look it’s @lens/stani
At #london pretty cool! Talking about Lens going full defi at @lens/ethglobal
- Yes gala!
- The new orb app is so smooth. Like butter. Nice job guys.
- Thanks for a great time Denver!
Next stop EthGlobal #london
- Thank you!
- Hey come say hello! Deal G3

- I got a chance to explore Philly again this year after #ethnyc
Following these hackathons has really gotten me out!
- Minted this free collectible in celebration of @orbapp.lens funding!
The era of everyday web3 social starts here!
LFG!🙌
- have you already minted the celebration NFT?
- What’s everyone working on at EthNYC #ethnyc
- Wow, this beer garden was amazing, thank you @lensprotocol.lens
- Hey everyone, so I’ve been a little disconnected for a while, but I’ve been going through a few things in my personal life that have made it difficult to stay up-to-date with the lens community. I’m hoping EthNYC will be a new start to be more involved in the future
For those of you that don’t know, I’m a engineer that found the lens community this year (thank you @nader.lens and @kipto.lens ) and its really helped me respark some of the love i had for technology and the decentralized community in general. I guess this post is about being greatful and kind to yourself when youre walkimg through mud. 🙏🏼 Looking forward to building something awesome this week on lens
- Excited for ethnyc!
- Lens V2 Testnet Developer Preview
Today Lens V2 went to testnet! In this call, we discuss Lens V2 and hold a Q&A for developers about the new updates.
- Just thought this was so funny haha
- I’m curious about how developers are using the Lens SDK

Awesome set
- I was really surprised yesterday when Phaver's CEO, CFO, Community Manager and CEO's grandmother STAKE and comment.🚀🚀🚀
I felt as if I had become a celebrity.😎
As a thank you, I designed a Phaver model Lamborghini.🚗
*This is not AI.
- It has been one year since we started Orb, and communities have been one of its core features.
While we have iterated on it many times, we soon realized that there is a need for a composable and interoperable architecture for the community.
Today, we are extremely excited to introduce the first version of Orb communities on top of the
@LensProtocol.lens, powered by ERC-6551, and interoperable among all Lens apps.
For more detailed information, we have written a mirror article. Check it out!
Huge shoutout to @kiptowallet.lens and @sankalpk.lens, a great team for making it possible!

The challenge must go on… Like from a Freddie Mercury song 🎶 „ Show must go on”

- Is there an app that lets you create nice images for embedding into social media posts?
For example, if I want to call out a paragraph or something, or embed an image with a consistent or nice background.
- Idk who needs to hear this but… no, you don’t need to abstract your function/module/app into a library yet, just get the mvp working.
- The process of a collect:)
- I’d like to start a podcast, soon, exclusively on lens. I’m curious if anyone has ideas about something they would like to see on lens.
I know because we are all crypto nerds here 😅a lot of podcasts can be super technical or very nitche so was looking to do something a little less crypto???
Please drop a comment if you have any ideas! Thanks!
- Join us for an insightful episode recorded during #ETHCC with Luc, Developer Relation at **ENS**, the decentralized domain name system built on Ethereum. Designed to map human-readable names to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other crypto addresses, content hashes, and metadata.
Don't forget to #LMCC
- The coolest thing about Orb’s user owned communities is that they are ERC-6551 communities meaning that you own access to your community in your profile 🔐

- Should I go with “dark Sterling”” haha
- Well this is fun
- Just keep swimming
- Help secure Lens together 🤝

- Has anyone used the family.co wallet yet?
- Day 3 of my water fast is coming to end. Feeling great 💪

- Huge update today - @coinbase Wallet announced wallet-to-wallet messaging with Lens Protocol, ENS Domains , and CB.IDs, including in-chat payments ⚪️
⚡️ The experience is powered by @xmtplabs
https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/12/coinbase-wallet-launches-onchain-messaging-service-so-users-can-interact-directly-on-its-platform/
- We are thrilled to announce we have collaborated with Coinbase Wallet and @xmtp_.lens. With this integration, Lens Protocol users can now message directly within Coinbase Wallet.
Interoperability is more than just a buzzword in the Web3 space; it's a fundamental building block. Lens users can message directly from Coinbase Wallet and keep their conversations going fluidly with their friends on Lens apps such as @orbapp.lens, @lenster.lens and @buttrfly.lens.
Additionally, if you have a Lens handle you can easily search your friends directly from your Coinbase Wallet via their .lens handle to send messages and crypto assets.
At Lens, we envision a future where digital wallets transcend their traditional roles, becoming social and multiplayer platforms that foster interaction and community. This vision is at the heart of our integration with Coinbase Wallet and XMTP.

- Chatgpt has been a game changer when thinking about high level concepts. I especially use it as a “rubber ducky”
Of course everyone knows this. It’s still mind blowing. It’s really improved my productivity.
