- # 0.1.0 - 23rd December 2022\n\nThe Lens Core Team is excited to announce the first Developer Preview release of the official Lens SDK.\n\nThe Lens SDK will greatly improve the developer experience of building with the Lens API. It allows you to integrate with the Lens Protocol in seconds and gives you full control over the UX of your app.\n\nThis is just the beginning for the Lens SDK. We are starting with a collection of React Hooks and will add a low-level API Client for more advanced integrations, beyond React.\n\nTry out the Developer Preview release and tell us what you think!
https://github.com/lens-protocol/lens-sdk\n\nIn this release:
\n- feat: authentication w/ transparent token renewal\n- feat: React Hooks to:\n - fetch publications\n - fetch profiles\n - fetch followers/following\n - create post\n - fetch feed\n - notifications\n- feat: wagmi integration
\n\nSee the initial documentation at: https://docs.lens.xyz

- Do you know what’s surreal?
After connecting my wallet and @lensprotocol handle to kick things off on @orbapp.lens I completely forgot that Ive been interacting with the blockchain.
It’s insane how far we’ve come from the janky UX of 2018 to now. I know it’s not perfect but man it feels good.
Well done to everyone who’s contributed to this! @stani.lens you’re on to something! 🔥
- AAVE is fine
Uniswap is fine
Maker is fine
Compound is fine
Yearn is fine
GMX is fine
Synthetix is fine
DeFi is fine
- **Exit 0**
When code exits with 0, it represents a successful termination with no errors in the program.
This is the last song on my upcoming album "Carrying Capacity", just finished it today!
- If anyone sees Aave/Lens smart contract team going wild tonight in London, I don’t take any responsibility 🙉🙈
- 100k profiles on Lens (while in closed beta) in less than 6 months on mainnet 🤯
We 💚 our community and can’t wait to keep building, creating, and growing with you.

- Hello Lens frens! 🌿🦄🌈☀️
- Gm Lens frens - doing a sense-check for those who would like to visit Cape Town in April next year? We may or may not be announcing a hackathon date for that time of year soon soon.
Also, @letsraave.lens , love your work. Bogota was amazing! :D ETH Cape Town wouldn't be the same without you guys there, our music hits different too ;)
- Time to shine! Hello Lens! :)
- I saw this post below on the blue app, and wanted to share some thoughts on it.
The collapse of FTX & Alameda is a black eye for crypto and is going to cause a lot of pain for a lot of people. The continued domino fall of these centralized platforms shows the deep need for strong decentralized systems.
As Cobie and Ledger live streamed the demise of the latest hero of crypto, I watched as in the next room over, 3 of the greatest contract devs I know furiously debated, as part of an audit of [redacted]. Behind me the @lensapi.lens backend & infra teams were attacking every whiteboard and glass window with expo markers detailing a new architecture that will help scale Lens several orders of magnitude. On Github, @lenster.lens one of the leading Lens applications that came out of our hackathon with @ethglobal.lens was trending. In Telegram, the Polygon Team along with devs across the Lensverse were analyzing the latest block data and working together to optimizing code to keep all apps and experiences running despite a chaotic gas environment.
There is going to be a lot of hurt over the next few weeks and months. Many people will lose funds, regulators will use this incident to enact stricter regulation. Yet, even still: @aaveaave.lens, Maker, Compound + DeFi were paid back first and continue to dutifully follow their smart contract code to provide open financial access to all. Uniswap & Seaport are still functioning, swapping tokens and NFTs without fail. ETH, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and more are producing new blocks, filled with unstoppable decentralized computing for devs to utilize.
We are not done. Numbers may keep going down, mistakes will happen, more idols will fall. But the movement will continue, the devs will keep building. The decentralized future is coming, anon, like it or not.
- Ignore the noise - just keep building 🌿
- DeFi apps like to flex TVL.
NFTs like to flex collection volume.
Meanwhile @lensprotcol is largest contract system on Polygon.
Web3 Social is here, you just haven't been paying attention anon.
- In London next week with the @lensxyz.lens and @aaveaave.lens homies 🌿👻

Float Arctic is coming. ❄️🚢
Mint leveraged tokens with fixed exposure with one click. Shift to any other position with one more. Trade and build dank strategies. Collect gems and mint NFTs.
Never get liquidated.
Float Arctic is a complete rewrite of the Float Alpha contracts to create a product that’s more powerful, scalable and degenerate than ever.
The coolest innovation? Tranching.
We’ve separated Float liquidity into a trading tranch, where users can get fixed exposure on leveraged positions, and an LP tranch, where market makers will provide liquidity to balance the market in exchange for stablecoin incentives.
Alongside Arctic we’ll be launching the A.P. Morgan Sailing Club: an invite only collection of 6,900 NFTs that combine user configurable layers AND randomised rarity.
Lenster exclusive giveaways shipping soon. Follow if you don’t want to miss out.

- If someone is looking to build a new DeFi product and needs an idea, I recommend building an airline flights hedging product with oracle price feeds. The web3 community travels a lot, uses DeFi so it would be perfect protocol market/fit ✈️ and combine it with some cardon reduction burning 🌍 🌳

To collect this ultra-rare Elephant Pepe drinking his morning coffee, you will have to meet my very strict requirements:
1) You have to follow me on Lens
2) You have to pay 0.5 WMATIC
Mirrors will get a 50% cut of the collect fees. This is what the Elephant Pepe would have wanted.
There are only 1000 available. Sorry, I don't make the rules (I do make the rules lol).
