Introducing Media Snapshots on the Lens API.
This new feature takes snapshots of media content from profiles and publications, which leads to faster loading times for users.
Applications can now enjoy the luxury of increased efficiency. This enhancement comes with the addition of two new fields to the 'MediaSet' type: 'onChain' and 'optimized'. They will each respectively hold the original uploaded content and the snapshotted content.
The type of content being snapshotted is:
• Profile pictures (not NFT PFPs)
• Profile cover photos
• Publication content under metadata media (including covers)

Headline of the year: EA Sports will add Nike NFTs to FIFA, Madden and all of its games. 🤯
Here's why it matters 🧵👇
1️⃣ More Collaborations Coming Soon! With Nike's impressive digital footprint, their DMs must be packed with collaboration requests.The EA Sports partnership is likely just the tip of the iceberg, foreshadowing an influx of brands eager to partner with Nike for web3 stuff.
2️⃣ Slowly, then all at once 🌊 Nike's journey into the web3 and NFT world sets a compelling precedent for other renowned brands.They'll soon FOMO in to harness web3 tools, NFTs, and digitize their IP rights, marking their territory in this digital frontier.
3️⃣ Interoperability! The introduction of NFTs in EA Sports games could allow the swapping of in-game assets across different games. Picture this: your virtual Nike shoes making an appearance in FIFA, Madden, and NBA Live.
4️⃣ Competition! Nike's SHIPPING!!!
👉 Acquired RTFKT
👉 Launched .Swoosh
👉 Launched OF1 Boxes
👉 Announced partnership w/ EA Sports
Adidas seems to lack behind. Our gut says they'll soon fight back!
5️⃣ How does that help you?
1.0 Competition = Industry growth 🚀 Web3, it’s all about network effects.And the way Metcalfe’s Law explains it is that adoption tends to happen slowly at first, and then all at once, growing exponentially.
1.1 Right now, Nike and Adidas are merely testing the waters of web3.But as they dive in head-first, you can expect to see a tidal wave of web2 brands rushing in so they won't get left behind. 🌊
1.2 This creates a powerful momentum, a positive flywheel that, once set in motion, continues to spin, driving growth and adoption in the web3 space.🛞 And if you're not bullish enough, you'll get left behind!
We hope you found this thread helpful. 🤝

- What's your favorite DAO?
Looking for that DAO Of The Month 👀
Shill them in the comments 👇🏽
- GM! ☀
Start your Sunday with a healthy dose of #web3 news.
A 🧵 👇
1/ Mercedes launched a web3 program called "Mercedes-Benz NXT". NXT's vision is to bring Mercedes' 130-year history of building physical products into the digital realm. They'll be launching an NFT collection called "Maschine", containing 1000 generative art.
2/ Ethereum introduces the EIP-6551 protocol standard. It enables every Ethereum-based NFT to function as a wallet, owning assets such as ETH, ERC-20 tokens and NFTs. Here's our latest newsletter explaining EIP-6551: ↓
https://newsletter.w3academy.io/p/eip-6551-explained?utm_medium=social&utm_source=lens
3/ Bitcoin introduces the BRC-721e NFT protocol. The protocol allows NFT holders to transfer their ERC-721 NFTs from Ethereum to Ordinals. ERC-721 NFT holders can burn their tokens via BRC-721E, and the tokens are then inscribed onto satoshis on Bitcoin.
4/ Blur's NFT lending platform Blend sees volume reach $225 million in less than a month. So far, Blend has facilitated nearly 16,000 loans for a total of 123,500 ETH, or $225 million, according to a report from Nansen.
5/ Circle is launching their US Dollar backed stablecoin USDC on Arbitrum. Currently, Arbitrum uses a bridged version of USDC from Ethereum, but after the launch, USDC will be natively integrated into the Arbitrum network.
