Manta Network has launched its zero-knowledge proof layer-2 scaling network, which promises lower fees and higher throughput for developers looking to deploy decentralized applications.
The ecosystem of layer-2 blockchain solutions powered by zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs welcomes a new player as Manta Network takes its ZK-as-a-service platform live.
Manta Pacific is a modular L2 aimed at powering Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-native decentralized applications (DApps) using ZK-proof technology. The platform offers a software development kit and ZK library that are touted to provide plug-and-play functionality for developers.
Being EVM-native means that apps deployed on Ethereum can be deployed on Manta Pacific and vice versa, while being ZK-enabled provides low gas fees and scalability. Users can also bridge Ethereum to Manta to begin exploring its development environment.

Share comes in a very unique and interesting angle to empower authors to sell their books in the form of NFT. This is something that hasn't happened before in the Web2 online bookstore. There's more ...\
\

Gummys is a WEB 3.0-powered video and streaming platform with a fully operable product allowing users to generate income by creating, owning, and trading tokenized media content such as NFT, watching videos, and more engaging actions.\

**Our opinion about Gummys:** \
Gummys is going to revolutionize how we going to watch TV/video in the future. Why is that case? Because imagine we could sit at home watching TV or any video in the comfort of our home sofas, and yet we can earn income! 🤯\

- **🌿 Rooting in Web3 — day 8 Introducing** [**@madfinance.lens**](https://twitter.com/madfiprotocol)
\
**What is Mad Finance?**\
@madfinance.lens is the ad protocol for web3 social! 💸 \
What does this really mean? 🤔 Let us walk you through it.\
\
First, we need to understand that, today, how Twitter and Facebook are free for all of us to use because the feed space is already being paid for by advertisers. But there is a little catch here, the biggest asset to these social media is actually the USERS! 🤯\
\
Why? Because imagine if no users use Facebook and Twitter, there will be no advertisers willing to place their ads on their platforms. But because they're operated in Web2, these social media control how the profits are generated and everything is going into their pocket. 😭\
\
Thus, similar to us, together with @madfinance.lens, we're committed to change this. Instead of giving all the profits generated from users to these big social media, we're connecting the profits back to users!\
\
In @madfinance.lens, they are building a suite of products in the form of Lens modules, tools for campaign creation + distribution, and payouts via Superfluid money streams. This is real innovation! 🤯\
\
If any of you are brands and creators, do join them today! \
Their first product will be carrying the idea of Lens Follow NFTs to the next level - allowing influencers and brands to utilize them as marketing campaigns! \

- **Rooting in Web3 — day 4 Introducing Lenstube 🎥**\
\
**What is Lenstube?** \
Lenstube is a decentralized video-sharing social media platform, built with @LensProtocol 🌿. \
What is that really mean? 🤔 \
Let me walk you through it!\
\
In Web3, it is all about decentralized this and decentralized that. So in this context, what it really means is that a video being decentralized is being uploaded to "IPFS".
\
**What is IPFS?**\
"IPFS" or InterPlanetary File System is a protocol and P2P network for storing and sharing data in the distributed file system. This allows the same content could be retrieved from anywhere! In simple meaning, every video uploaded to [Lenstube](https://twitter.com/lenstubexyz) is going permanently forever! 🤯\
\
**What Lenstube is solving?**\
One practical major problem Lenstube is solving is a situation that happened to @lofigirl. Just recently, a video by @lofigirl has been "mistakenly" taken down due to "false copyright strikes" by Youtube.\
\
**Be responsible for uploading video to IPFS**\
Well... you might be thinking it is useful and might be quite alarming at the same time. We understand... It is always been a similar situation when a new technology is invented, someone could abuse it or either use it for good.\
\
In order to build an open world, we all have our parts to play and responsibility to ensure good. I'm pretty sure Lenstube already has this regulation in place and continues to improve. In decentralization, no one can't take down what you uploaded, so please be responsible!
- **Introducing @phaver.lens** 🦄

\
**Feature Highlight**
Another important highlight is about creating value. As a user, it is crucial to create value, and Phaver values it, so in turn, contributors who contribute valuable content will get rewarded! 🤯
\
**Daily Staking**
Important to point out, that currently every day if you participate in their dApp, you will be given 5 tokens to stake on the 5 best posts on Phaver. Which in turn will be rewarded in relation to how popular the staked post evolves.
**(Not an financial advice!)**
