- 20 Aggregating Web3 Social with @yup_io — Nir Kabessa
Nir Kabessa is the Co-Founder and CEO of Yup, along with Co-Founder Vernon Johnson.
Yup is the best of web3, all in one feed. Aggregating the best content of Lens, Farcaster, Mirror, NFTs, and Crypto Twitter. A new way to curate your own feed and post across platforms.
Nir was President of Blockchain at Columbia from 2018 to 2020. Since 2020 he’s been a Mentor at the Columbia IBM Blockchain Accelerator. He’s a speaker and investor, contributing at publications including Forefront, Hacker Noon and Big Think.
Writing topics include EVM Network Effects, NFTs & the Meme Economy, and Curator Economy: Monetizing Taste in Web3.
In this episode we talk about the EVM as a social network. The rapid evolution, growth and experimentation we’re seeing in web3 social. What it means for DAOs and media networks like UFO. And Nir’s early origins in the crypto space, starting way back in 2014 and amping up from 2017.

- Online customer reviews are deeply flawed. I wonder if Lens could provide a solution.
Some of the biggest problems:
-everyone reads reviews. Almost nobody writes them.
-negativity effect: customers with a negative experience are more likely to share it
-big economical incentive to fake reviews. Reviews are a major ranking factor for Google, Amazon...
-Humans have different tastes. We like and dislike different things. A lot of the places I find cool are hell for my dad and vice versa. Most review platforms mash all of our opinions together. Imagine reviews adjusted by your social graph.

- Jumping into Web3 with Diana Chen 🌿🪩
@ddwchen.lens quit her job as an attorney, going full time into podcast creation for others until she decided that it was about time to launch her own podcast DAO: Rehash @rehash.lens – in which she talks to founders, executives, and developers within the Web3 space. We sat down across the table to chat about her journey and the future of Web3.
We enjoyed this one! Is there anything holding you back from making the leap to go fulltime into Web3?
If you liked our chat - don't be afraid to like, mirror and collect. It does help us grow and spread awareness across the #Lens and #Lenster ecosystem as we continue to give a podium to the most energetic and progressive minds in Web3! And don't forget to take a look at the @rehash.lens ~ we are fans!

- You may have noticed that the Who To Follow recommendations displayed in Lenster (and other frontends that use the Lens API) are looking a bit different recently. The Lens ML team, which I lead, recently released an update to the algorithm that backs that API endpoint making it so that recommendations are now personalized to each user. Our hope is that you're now getting recommendations that make more sense based on the profiles that you already follow.
The algorithm is still in a beta period and we're looking for feedback on the recommendations. So how do they look for you — better, worse, the same? Maybe you discovered someone you didn't even know was on Lens? Maybe it's a bunch of low quality profiles? Let us know!
- wo are strong
- gm all! 👋
Today I wanted to introduce you to Sismo and explain you what ZK Badges are 🧵⬇️
(stay until the end, there might be a badge to mint 👀🎁)
What is Sismo?
Sismo is « a modular Attestations Protocol focused on decentralization, privacy and usability. »
But what concretely does it mean?
Sismo enable you to prove on Ethereum to anyone, thanks to one of your addresses, that you are, have or did something. Theses proofs are represented by badges, which are non-transferable NFTs (ERC-1155 tokens). To be allowed to mint a badge, your address must be in the group of eligible addresses associated to it.
But now what if you could prove something with an address but receive the badge on another without any link between these two 👀
So proving something without doxing the address you used to prove it.
That’s what ZK Badges allow us to do!
With Sismo you prove directly in your browser that your address is part of a group of eligible addresses. It uses zk-SNARK technology.
Let’s take a simple example: you can prove, on an anon address (destination address), that you own a conference POAP, by using your ENS address (source address) which contain that POAP. And vice versa. But of course your source address allow you to only mint one badge on the destination address of your choice, no more.
This is a simple example but you can imagine much more useful ones!
There are obvious uses cases for Sismo and ZK Badges such as Sybil resistance. By the way Sismo has already shipped a “Sybil resistance” ZK Badge using Proof Of Humanity, go check this out: https://twitter.com/Sismo_eth/status/1569668644497510402?s=20&t=texAnda3oLd9C1iRjfFCdQ
So this allow you to prove that you are a human on an anon address using your POH registration (doxed) address. It’s not perfect yet but it’s a start and it shows how ZK Badges can be powerfull! 🔥
Privacy is necessary in the IT world and even more in an ecosystem like Ethereum where all our interaction are public. That’s why Sismo will help us to create anonymity on top of these concepts and more…
Now lt’s time for the little gift! 🎁
If you want to try out Sismo and get your very first ZK Badge ➡️ **Mirror** this post
Then, from 02/10/2022 you will be able to mint the badge associated to the proof that you Mirrored this post. I will let you now when it’s available and the steps to follow to mint it :))
Thanks for reading this thread and welcome to Sismo anon! :))
