- What makes Lens truly amazing is the community. I've met so many builders, creators, users, and supporters during the Lens journey, and one common DNA is that everyone wants to see onchain social adoption and are supporting each other with guidance, discussions and collects. Truly blessed for what we have.

- **After run thoughts on Going Permissionless with Lens**
A few days ago, a Lens Improvement Proposal (LIP) was introduced, suggesting we transition to a permissionless model. This marks a significant milestone, as it implies opening our carefully curated garden to all comers.
This move is pivotal. Lens was envisioned as an open social graph, and becoming permissionless will realize this vision. I am wholeheartedly in favor of this transition.
However, I urge caution during this process. My concerns lie not with the concept of being permissionless, but with the transition itself.
Transitioning to a permissionless model means opening our doors to everyone. We've previously seen spikes in spam following rumors of airdrops etc on crypto Twitter, attracting accounts that view our platform as merely a field to farm for future gains.
This necessitates a vigilant approach to combating spam, reporting abuse, and investing in algorithms and strategies to mitigate these risks. Early measures are in place, and as a community, we can curtail noise by curating our social graphs. The shift to permissionless must acknowledge the potential influx of malicious users, which could disrupt the experience for new joiners. We must prepare for this eventuality.
Moreover, Lens is not entirely free; profile creation incurs a cost borne by someone. With an open model, this could deter some from joining or serve as a barrier for sybil resistance. The cost of creating a Lens profile may be a novel concept for non-web3 users. Going permissionless could impose financial burdens on Lens, its front-ends, or its users due to the initial creation costs. We must be deliberate about how and why we manage these costs.
This opens the question of who should join Lens. Essentially, Lens is a meta-layer, a social graph atop which clients create social applications. As we move to a permissionless model, ensuring that current front-ends can manage new users and provide proper onboarding becomes critical.
New users will likely discover Lens through apps, placing the social graph second. This could lead to a fully open, interoperable social graph, but we must ensure our apps are ready for this transition.
For many new users, Lens most likely will initially appear as a single social app offering various forms of engagement. Over time, they –so i hope– appreciate the graph's interoperability and the ability to port their network and content.
Ideally, becoming permissionless will encourage development atop Lens's open social graph, leading to innovative social experiences beyond traditional models. Lens is not a Twitter clone; it's a network offering diverse experiences like games, stores, and collaboration platforms.
However, my concern is whether we have sufficiently demonstrated the difference between Lens and platforms like Farcaster (Twitter 2.0). We need to showcase truly unique social experiences beyond traditional posting, such as mini-games, messenger apps, digital storefronts, community radio, and and and and, so we can leverage the Lens profile for a richer, interconnected experience.
We should focus on creating new spaces enabled through our shared social graph rather than sticking to conventional historic app with timelines and feeds. This approach will differentiate us from platforms like Slack and Twitter.
Believing in a permissionless model means reigniting the creative spark among builders to explore social multiplayer experiences and integrate Lens into various web3 applications. I envision a world where I can see my network's activities on a DEX or discover new apps through a Lens-powered app store, and I am open to explore this further with builders.
This is the advent of the real-time onchain multiplayer world.
Finally, facilitating user discovery beyond their first app is crucial. We are on our journey with portals and open actions, enabling cross-connections through mini-apps. We need to expand on this.
I am eager for us to adopt a permissionless model, moving beyond being a gated community. We must ensure we are prepared to onboard and inspire the next generation of builders to create novel social experiences where creators can thrive.
Disclaimer: I have supported @lens/stani and the team early in Lens's journey, so I have very strong opinions, that are my owns on this.

- Lens Reputation Scores Lookup and Full Data Download
This is a short little demo of how to look up reputation scores on Lens, download the whole dataset, and lookup where a given user lands in terms of the distribution of scores among all users. Live data app available to use here: https://predictcrypto.shinyapps.io/lens_reputation_with_dist/
Lots of much cooler analysis incoming here. The goal being trying to support any data needs as we discuss LIP-5 (https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/29) by @zkjew about opening up Lens to everyone. If you want to contribute at analysis around reputation scores on Lens or need any data in particular to evaluate a spam prevention method, please reach out and I would be happy to help pull any data that's needed 👌
999 edition size available to collect over the next 10 days, with 25% referral percentage. Also 20% going to @lens/sree33 for their work on making their work on making this data available in BigQuery (table name is machine_learning_quality_profiles) 🙏
- Did anyone else get an invite from @lens/lens? I don't see anything
- Who’s going to create the web3 chat app that consolidates all your inboxes across the dApps you use
- Can everyone do a favour before we go permissionless. Start now unfollowing users that are spammy, low signal etc that you don't personally like. It would improve your reputation score (which is public on BigQuery, since it was released) and create better baseline for all activity on Lens. 🧹
The reputation score is public so feel free to lean onto it and build new algos, anon.

- “The industry is ready for tokenization.”
At Sibos 2023, Chainlink Labs team members met with world-leading financial institutions. One insight from talking with industry leaders was that the financial system is ready for tokenization.
Since the September event, there have already been a number of massive leaps forward:
1. HSBC launched a blockchain-based platform for tokenized gold.
2. SIX Digital Exchange settled the first transaction of tokenized assets on a regulated and live DLT platform using a wholesale CBDC.
3. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink shared on CNBC that “ETFs are step one in the technological revolution in the financial markets. Step two is going to be the tokenization of every financial asset.”
Not to mention, Chainlink is collaborating on tokenization use cases with Swift, DTCC, ANZ Bank, Vodafone, ARTA TechFin, and many others. In 2024, the adoption of tokenized assets is set to expand even further.
