- What’s an Original Collectible on LensPort? 🎗
You may have noticed that some posts now have a name on the bottom next to the “like” button. This is the owner of the post’s Original Collectible
An Original Collectible is the first NFT minted from a post on Lens. It’s the digital equivalent of an artwork’s signed original 🧑🎨
For example, @ryanfox.lens appears here on @grams.lens post as the owner of the Original: lensport.io/p/12908_1872
Each post collection now has a single special NFT (basically a golden egg 1/1), while keeping the rest of the collection’s value! 💎
Stay tuned for some cool uses we have planned for Originals! 👀

- Creator Tokens will naturally arise as NFTs, not ERC20s
Why?
The real value of a digital creator is in their work, just like an artist's is in their artwork.
In the physical world, an artist's work makes up a collection, like "Picasso"... 🧵
A painting can be seen as a "Creator Token" of an artist. If an artist becomes more famous, all of their paintings rise in value.
We can expand this concept by bringing their work on-chain as NFTs. When their work is on-chain, it'll naturally form a collection.
Each NFT Creator Token took time and effort to create, and represents something tangible.
By investing in a creator through an NFT Creator Token, you're directly investing in and owning their work, which is a concept that has existed for thousands of years
With @lensprotocol, this work can now take the form of art, music, photography, podcasts, or just text.
On-chain Creator Collections will be made up of many more types of work than just art
ERC20s as Creator Tokens are an interesting idea that may work, but they don't really have a traditional equivalent the way NFTs do (there's no Picasso stock).
Investing directly in an artist's "clout" seems more abstract, so it might take longer to catch on
People know that by buying an NFT, they're investing in a piece of work, and by extension... the artist.
Stay tuned for @youfolio.lens ! It's a platform for Creator Tokens on Lens. Launching soon 👀

@youfolio.lens Explained by @danisnearby.lens
Tired of the same old ways of collecting? Youfolio.lens by Lensport.lens is the perfect solution for you! It's an innovative way to add value to your collection of posts and enhance your social media experience.
Here's how it works:
Step 1: Sign Up
Signing up for Youfolio.io is a breeze! All you need is a handle and wallet to connect to the website, just like any other Lens app. Once you've signed up, you'll be ready to start browsing the extensive collection of creators and their "Creator Tokens."
Step 2: Token Wrapping
Browse through the "Tokens" of creators and find a post that you want to wrap. You can use the "Show Only My Items" feature to display only the items you own. If you don't own any posts that qualify for collector tokens (the first NFT minted from a post), you can try collecting one or buying it instead.
Step 3: Make an Offer
With a collectional offer, you can make an offer on any post. However, it's best to find one you like to avoid disappointment. So take your time and browse through the collections until you find the perfect post.
Step 4: Wrap Your NFTs
Once you've added the post to your collection, it's time to wrap your NFTs. Wrapping your NFTs is easy. Simply click the "Wrap" button, confirm two transactions allowing NFT spend and sending the NFT, and your post will be sent to a Youfolio contract. You will then receive a wrapped NFT that you can sell and get voting power in the DAO.
Step 5: Join the Creators DAO
The Creators DAOs are hosted on top of tally.xyz and are used to make decisions about the Youfolio DAO. By joining the Creators DAO, you can shape the future of the Youfolio <creatorname> DAO and influence how it grows and evolves.
In summary, Youfolio.lens is a new way to understand post collection that allows you to add value to your collection and get more out of your social media experience.

- Today we’re excited to announce Config, an easy-to-use dev tool for any DeFi Protocol.
We first built Config as a clean, clear visualizer of the Aave Protocol risk parameters, and generalized it for any protocol with global parameters.
Config is the first application built by Newt for the Aave Protocol, and it’s dead simple to use. It does only one job and does it super well: visualizing contract parameters.
Check it out at http://config.fyi 👈
For Aave Protocol, using Config is far easier and more accurate than going to each individual asset on app.aave.com
Config uses the Aave SDK to read from the smart contracts, so Config is an up-to-date source of truth for all asset parameters on v2 and v3.
In order to generalize Config, we built a data abstraction layer that allows for the easy insertion and visualization of other DeFi protocols’ parameters. Benqi Finance was added in less than an hour by @josepbove.lens
Check out our GitHub for step-by-step instructions on how to add another protocol for Config to visualize ➡️ https://github.com/WeAreNewt/config.fyi
In the repo, we have a demo branch that shows how to add test data into the app.
Want to see Config support protocols like Uniswap and Curve? and easily add other protocols’ parameters in under an hour. Visit the Git repo for instructions.

Over the past 3 months, I fell in love with the interoperability problem. I spoke to nearly every project in the space, and decided to summarize my 200+ hours of research into an article. Here’s what I learned:
https://jim.mirror.xyz/a9PxnNed9o8DSpssUBQeZTvRASmDaY_HDAnGXOMyeFY
- I strongly believe that we're headed towards the modular future, where blockchains enabled by the modular stack will be trivially configured and stood up.
In this new paradigm, there is a huge opportunity to re-imagine existing infrastructure for the modular world. For example, what does a block explorer look like in a world where creating a blockchain is as easy as clicking a button?
Here are some other tools that need to be redesigned for the modular world (and this isn't a simple copy-and-paste, they need to be re-created from first principles):
- wallets
- RPC nodes
- data indexing
- bridges
- oracles
- RWA/native asset issuance
- ecosystem analytics
- Comprehensive list of all rollup-as-a-service solutions:
The OGs: Cosmos SDK and Substrate
Eclipse: SVM and other VM RUs on Cosmos
Dymension: RollApps on Cosmos
Saga: Chainlets on Cosmos
Rollkit by Celestia: Sovereign RUs or normal RUs on Celestia DA
Sovereign Labs: Sovereign ZKRUs using Celestia DA and RiscZero
Slush: L3s on Starknet
Constellation: ORUs on Ethereum
Stackr: TBD, ETH India winner
Artesi: "full stack" RUs with explorer and MPC wallet included
Alt Layer: TBD, related to Substrate
Conduit: TBD
- **The Housing Trilemma**
Homes can only have two of three properties:
**- Cost**: affordability of your monthly rent/mortgage
**- Location**: proximity to things that you care about (e.g., the water, the office, friends, bars, restaurants, parks)
**- Quality of Home**: desirable characteristics and features of your shelter (e.g., natural light, patio, space, amenities, modern appliances)
A perfect equilibrium that assures you’re hating some part of your life.
**Hate being at home**
This is the bucket that most New Yorkers find themselves in. Given a fixed housing budget, people are left with the choice of solving for location or for home quality.
Of course, most young people are going to solve for location. Close to the subway, close to friends, close to all their favorite local haunts. Who cares if the apartment doesn’t get any natural light? They are out-and-about, living their best life.
**Hate where you are**
Whether its the commute or your safety, if you solve for cost and home quality, you’ll going to be skimping on location.
That null,500 1,200 square foot 2-bedroom 2-bath with a backyard in Canarsie looked awesome in theory, but then you start to regret the 40-minute ride on the L train to go climbing with your friends at Vital. God forbid, you have to go into their office for an in-person meeting. That’s 2-hours round trip with 3 transfers, and you are *not* a podcast person. Add in the fact that any Uber from Manhattan after midnight is $40+ without surge, and the price tag starts to slowly climb up.
**Hate your bank account statements**
OK, fuck it. You only live once. Time to get a place that you not only love but is also close to the things that you love as well.
Newly anointed as the most expensive city in the world, New York makes everyone absolutely and utterly broke. If you’re already broke, what’s being a little more broke to you?
Until you splurge on a new construction penthouse in Brooklyn Heights and realize that your net worth was higher post-undergrad than it is now.
Forget maxing out your IRA, we ball.
**In conclusion**
While the examples I listed were neighborhods specific to New York, you can not only extrapolate this to any other city, but also zoom out into a more macro scale. Post-covid life and remote work has shifted the housing trilemma to include cities, regions, and even countries in the scope of decision making.
Should you live in Cleveland, Ohio? How about Mexico City (please don’t)? Or should you move back in with your parents for maximum savings?
No matter what you pick, you’ll always end up being unhappy with some facet of it. That’s the trilemma, baby.

- Lets be honest the best world cup ever
- This holiday season, we have an early gift for all the web3 developers out there.
Our Mobile SDKs are now available in Developer Preview 🧑💻
This release enables client apps in Flutter, React Native, and Swift. Check out the repos: https://xmtp.org/sdks-and-tools
This is a Developer Preview release, so it’s ready for you to start building, but not quite ready for production apps (yet)!
XMTP builds in public, and in collaboration, with the community so please reach out and share your feedback!
We can’t wait to see the apps y’all create, and how they unlock interoperable inboxes on mobile platforms. Seasons greetings and happy coding! #XMTP #Mobile #DeveloperPreview
- we will be doing a database migration moving to aurora to allow our pings worldwide to be faster, general speed up of all queries, having many read databases with auto-scale, alongside having read and write separate databases for memory reasons. This will mean on 08:15AM GMT Thursday 22nd December write actions will be down for 20 minutes.
- indexer will not index any new publications, profiles etc
- reactions and other parts will not be able to be actioned
once the migration is complete the indexer will catch up with anything it missed of course anything on-chain will still go on-chain but not be shown in the API if done in that period until it is back.
Reads will continue working as normal throughout the migration process.
Happy building all!
