I just minted New Era ETH by @deekaymotion on @BuildOnBase organised by the One and Only @cozomodemedici.lens It was a super smooth mint experience ♡ Check out the Onchain Summer campaign happening all August onchainsummer.xyz/fwb
I just minted Base Day One, celebrating the start of @BuildOnBase bringing billions of people onchain. It’s Onchain Summer. https://onchainsummer.xyz/
PREPARING FOR $STRK 🐺 Time sensitive post, 8 hours left ⏰ @argentHQ wallet is doing a "Xplorer Campaign" - something similar to the Arbitrum Odyssey that got the $ARB airdrop to many users. There are 8 NFTs to collect. Deadline for the 1st is today Airdrop Strategy 🪂: 1/xx Similar to Arbitrum Odyssey, Argent is: • Launching one campaign per week • Rewarding 1 NFT per week after each campaign • Helping users get to know the Starknet ecosystem • Helping protocols get discovered 2/9 $STRK: remember that the token has already been confirmed and deployed. Not currently trading: 0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766 There is no information about a retroactive airdrop for Starknet users yet, but there is 8.1% of "Unallocated" supply. 3/9 $STRK: In the other hand, StarkEX users (dYdX, Immutable, etc) are indeed getting an airdrop. Stay tuned for more news on this front - we will probably get some updates when the token becomes tradable. 4/9 This campaign is a good way to generate organic activity on-chain and to get to know Starknet protocols. Argent will be giving 8 NFTs for 8 weeks, 1 per week. First week was until May 9. However, since the network was slow, they extended the deadline to today 23:59 🚨 5/9 WEEK 1 To get the first NFT: 1. Install Argent X extension: 🔗 chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/argent-x/dlcobpjiigpikoobohmabehhmhfoodbb 2. Bridge ETH to Starknet: 🔗 starkgate.starknet.io (or use Orbiter) 3. Make (1) transaction on Starknet Mainnet using Argent X (make a swap @10KSwap, use @Orbiter_Finance, etc) 6/9 WEEK 1 Argent extended the deadline so users can get the first NFT if they interact today. There's still time - deadline is Thursday 11 May 23:59 UTC. https://twitter.com/argenthq/status/1656597368316231681 7/9 WEEK 2 Starting yesterday, there is time until May 16 23:59 UTC to also complete week 2. To get the second NFT: 1. Play the game in: 🔗 starkfighter.xyz 2. Get a .stark domain for free here: 🔗 xplorer.starknet.id 3. Submit your score (tweet required) 8/9 NFTs cannot be minted yet. They will share a link for users to mint the NFT after the snapshots are taken, so stay tuned. Once there's news about the mint page, or week 3 tasks, I will update. These tasks are not capital-intensive, it's a great opportunity to interact. 9/9 🏛️ You can delegate your future $STRK tokens to olimpio.eth in advance: 🔗 https://delegate.starknet.io/profile/olimpio.eth#statement (ETH Mainnet txn required) I was chosen to be one of the recipients of the Starknet Foundation's voting power ⚡️ I'll update ⚡️

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.

How to grow your Lens account (0 to 500 followers). Tip #9: Be an engineer, not a marketer. Data is everything 📊. In content creation as well. Data in Lens is so public that anyone can look deeper at it and understand what's behind every interaction. So, as soon as you gain momentum, keep generating interactions and learn from them. Enjoy the short feedback loop that Lens gives you to understand what works and learn from it. It will make you a better creator.

Thrilled to be illuminating the city of Hong Kong with a new work ‘SENTIENT STATE’ on their super massive 70 meters wide display during @ArtBasel exhibition curated by @ArtInnovationG The work is available on auction through @SuperRare Link: https://superrare.com/artwork-v2/sentient-state-43590 I also will be rewarding all collectors that bid on the work with a 1/1 still frame from the video minted on a custom Manifold contract. Sentient State // The Sound of Pixels Exploring the notion of machine evolution towards a sentient state, enabling synthetic entities to experience feelings and sensations like human beings. Harnessing the power of an ensemble of generative tools the visuals and music were created portraying sentient machines performing a conscious dance with mindful movement and authentic self-expression and self-discovery, a celebration of singularity day. Keeping the generated frames raw I felt put an emphasis on the beauty of imperfection and furthermore acting as a timestamp to the current state and fleeting moment in the evolution of generative neural networks which are exponentially evolving. The music was generated with two generative models, an image to text model analysing the visuals converting them into written descriptive words, then utilising a text to music model generating sound based upon the text prompt output from the prior model, well fit for the title of this exhibition, The Sound of Pixels. Mp4 Video, 1620 x 1080p, 25fps, 30s, 48MB. Original uncompressed 4k file will be delivered after auction settlement including a Certificate of Authenticity on the blockchain transferrable to the collector. #ArtBasel #ArtBaselHongKong #SuperRare #ThorElias
I wanted to try something new. This will be my first music release here on lens. It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there. It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated. 1 matic to collect, only open for 24 hours. 25% mirror referral

**The Rise Of UGC 2.0: User Generated Collects** Everyone has seen the power of User-Generated Content 'UGC' in the age of social media. Here's why UGC 2.0 or 'User-Generated Collects' will be the next evolution of this format unlocked by the blockchain. I have been posting snippets here on Lenster the last few weeks about these themes as I framed out my article. Here is the final piece: **https://mirror.xyz/chrissyb.eth/r0SyE9QdvQribykjXvdMqYElGQT8ZFnthV_rUlyNqNk** #LMCC Inspired by the following people: @ladidaix, @ryanfox, @bellosights (@levychain), @stani and @azeem. **Cliff notes:** In today's one-directional social media interactions, "likes'' are abundant & meaningless when it comes to generating authentic connections or content discovery. Instead of simply liking something, we would rather participate. UGC 2.0 is not just a new format, it will revolutionize social media by unlocking far-reaching effects on content consumption than its predecessor. Collectable social content will enrich our experiences and create new forms of digital engagement between creators and users alike. By giving creators and users ownership & control of their content without the impediments of gatekeepers they can leverage it into new opportunities across fandom, community connectivity, curation, data and monetization. Creators aren’t defined by one platform or medium anymore. The creators, curators and communities of tomorrow will be empowered by data transparency aggregated across the entire social ecosystem without the gatekeepers and centralized databases of today. A more sustainable environment for the long tail and micro-creator to flourish as a result. Indexing less on numbers such as reach and likes, instead providing the tools to focus on quality and depth of relationship and content. It will also mark the future of brand creation. Changing how brands interact with consumers as active participants in their own social consumption. This is what @lensprotocol strives for. I hope this piece helps scratch the surface and inspires creators, users and builders to explore the possibilities.
