- The Ultimate Guide to Lens - Ep. 2: Intro to Apps - Orb, Hey, Phaver
This is a five-part series to help anyone get started with the Lens Ecosystem. Lens is a decentralized social network that allows you to own your audience and get paid for contributing.
In Episode 2: Intro to Apps, you'll learn how to use your handle on both mobile and desktop apps in the Lens ecosystem, as well as some basics around posting.
- It’s good to be backed by creatives. Here's how it all happened:
**Mar 4:** Our journey has begun by launching the $BONSAI 🚀 and focusing on @lens/lens
**Mar 11:** $BONSAI was quickly and organically adopted as the default collect currency across all major Lens applications
**Mar 14:** We were astonished by how creators embraced $BONSAI in a remarkably short time, earning more than $ 1.2M through 5.6k collectables in just a week 💚
**Apr 5:** $ 1M seed round closed with some heavy hitters ✨ 🥊 and the round was led by PalmTreeCrypto , @lens/socialgraphvc , @lens/avara with participation from angel investors such as @lens/orb , @lens/fwb , @lens/refraction , @lens/boysclub , @lens/spencernoon , @lens/sandeep , @lens/maggielove , @lens/nader , @lens/decentralisedco and more.
**Apr 10: R**eached an all-time high at $ 0.13 - and north of $ 120M FDV 🚀
**Apr 16:** Season 1 Bonsai NFT metadata & art reveal - <https://hey.xyz/posts/0x02142f-0x2e>
**Apr 18:** 2.25M $BONSAI distribution begins for liquidity rewards 🦾
**Apr 26:** Lil Bonsai maker launched on @lens/titlesxyz with the great contribution of @lens/adriamasnou 🌳

- Meant To Be (live mini edit)
Meant To Be is about growing as a person and how moments in your life can be so overwhelming at the time you can’t make sense of them but as you grow older you come to terms with how they contributed to making you who you are. They can make you more resilient, more compassionate and better equipped at how to deal with them in the future… and you understand it was meant to be that way.
It's a record that for me captures so much of what I love about UK dance music. I've always been obsessed with sampling and hip hop and consequently the music that influenced me the most draws from the same places, whether that's Portishead, Tricky, Jamie XX, Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Moby, Caribou.. it's this soulful imperfection that gives them their own sound as they absorb the music around them and turn it into their own thing. It’s always something I try to keep in mind when I'm making my music. We are in a time where the sound of music is getting more and more homogenized and although my music isn't always perfect that's a decision I make, I feel like it makes more sense to be me, than imitate whatever trend is happening right now.

Giving away one ‘FRIA’ hoodie to one collector of the digital piece (yes, worldwide shipping) 😁
‘FRIA’ was the first song I released in Spanish, and I made this piece inspired in cover art 🖼️
Only 2 other people have this hoodie, and you could be the third 😉
- Wish I had written this song, but all the credit to Sasha Alex Sloan (cover by me)
A song very very close to my heart🩶🪽

- **Fish Headz No.11 | Sam**
Sam, born into immense wealth, once had everything he ever wanted, with the world at his fingertips. Despite the privilege, his life took a dark turn as he embraced a path of deceit and thievery. His vegan lifestyle served as an ironic cover for his less-than-ethical activities.
For a long time, everyone loved Sam. People wanted to work with him, people wanted to be friends with him - he had everything he ever wanted. But eventually Sam's world unraveled and he lost it all. Now confined within the cold walls of a prison cell, Sam faces the consequences of his past. The once-privileged life has given way to the stark reality of incarceration, and Sam will remain there until the passage of time leaves him old and grey. His tale serves as a cautionary story of the consequences that can accompany a life built on deception.

- One of the biggest challenges in Web3 is balancing composability and risk.
Two recent innovations have opened the door to create novel social experiences while tackling this dilemma.
**Lens Open Actions** and **Farcaster Frames**
Open actions are smart contract calls embedded into an on-chain publication.
They enable developers to embed specific contract calls, parameters, revenue models, and logic (token-gating, follow-gating).
The key benefits of embedding an interaction as a smart contract module are provenance and immutability.
Both the creator and executor can explicitly agree to the terms of execution, and these terms can be verified by anyone.
Frames are a way to embed interactive apps into a social feed.
They enable developers to embed an image and buttons into a social feed, and trigger a callback on button press to update the frame.
Some use cases of Frames are polls, games, or relay-sponsored transactions.
Frames provide a rigid way to embed a frontend experience, while delegating the execution to a callback function which can execute anything.
Open actions are essentially the complement to this design: explicitly defined action and open-ended frontend experience.
The beauty of these primitives and Web3 in general is that they can work interoperably.
I envision a world where where publications on Lens and Farcaster can co-exist by referencing and interacting with each other.
One thing is for certain: the future of agreements is on-chain.

@lens/stani and team discuss permissionless on @lens/buttrfly spaces
- I was thinking about Birds this morning. Turn Audio on. Got a gig to edit and make a music lyric video for my favorite artist. He's providing the footage. Just doing my thing for now, I already got that project organized in Notion. Notion changed my life as well as Speechify for ADHD and super powers.👽
My life has changed dramatically. I've been having legal Ketamine treatments all month. I was sad since I was a kid, and nothing ever worked. I finally feel free.
The bird is the word.. but you don't know who my favorite artist is and how I got that gig. #freelancing #videoediting #aivideo
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

- 📍Kimony Morondava, Madagascar 🇲🇬
Madagascar Road Trip, Day 3/3, Miandrivazo-Morondava 🚙
The first baobab by the road, a sign that we're close to our destination. We've reached the Indian Ocean; we've arrived in Morondava. As we approached Morondava and entered the third day of driving, we decided we won't be doing this again. If we return to Tana by car, we'll lose another 3 days, which practically means spending half the journey on the road. Upon arrival, we immediately stop at the airport, where there's no one because flights from Morondava to Tana only operate three times a week. Almost certain we're going back by plane, we ask the driver to take us to the beach, and we inform the agency about the change of plans, leaving the Baobab Avenue for the next day so that we can experience it properly when well-rested.
Therefore, the first day in Morondava was reserved just for the beach. The largest and most organized beach in the city is Kimony Beach. The road to it is so bad that we had to walk the last 500 meters, not even our jeep can pass through here. We pay 2 € for two sunbeds with an umbrella to the guys who happened to be there, who knows if they even work here. Everything is closed because there are no tourists. It's simply unbelievable because this beach is considered one of the most beautiful in Madagascar, but we justify it with the fact that the rainy season has started. Although we haven't seen any rain. Clouds alternate with the sun, but even when it's cloudy, it's beautiful. Especially here because then the water turns into a mirror.
Setra, the driver, says it's best to call the airline to make sure we have a seat on the flight to Tana in 2 days, and tomorrow we should stop by the office and pay (the internet card payment option doesn't work). He notes our details in the sand, along with the reservation code...
Now I can say that the vacation has begun, and I'm really looking forward to waking up tomorrow...
