- This isn’t the next Facebook.
This is a social operating system.
Every existing app and platform can already benefit from becoming Lens-compatible. When developers “port” their apps over it’s positive-sum for everyone. More Data + More Users = More Value.
To those building natively here:
There is room for apps of all scales and purposes, similar to a desktop or mobile operating system. Some apps here will become giants akin to Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, or Adobe Photoshop—universal platforms that become integral to the user's experience. These 'giant' apps are used by virtually everyone because of their broad utility and the network effects that come with widespread adoption.
Meanwhile, other apps will carve out their own niches, much like CCleaner, Notepad++, VLC, or WinZip. These are the 'utility' apps that perform specific tasks exceptionally well. They may not be universally known but they garner loyal user bases because they fill a need, solve a problem, or simply do their job better than any other app out there.
I encourage every dev right now to take a moment and look at the apps installed on their device. Lens has the capacity to host a similar diversity of applications, each contributing to the overall “Social Operating System” experience in its own unique way. Rather than compete with Facebook I would recommend building with the “Operating System” framework in mind and trying to solve your own niche problem/task first.
Not everything has to compete with Facebook’s scale!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A fun brainstorming game to play
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Find an App or System Setting in your device’s OS and then ask ChatGPT for the Social OS equivalent.
Use this prompt:
I'm building apps on Lens (a new social networking protocol) and I'm told to think of it not as a Facebook competitor but as a new Social Operating System. They say there's room for apps at all levels, the same as a desktop or mobile operating system. So in that context, what would be the “Google Maps” of this OS?
* Social Network Navigation App: This app would map out the social connections between users, helping them navigate through their relationships. It could provide insights into how different users are connected, recommend potential new connections based on shared interests or mutual friends, and suggest paths for reaching out to new people.
* Event Discovery and Navigation App: This app could help users find and navigate to events within the social network. Just as Google Maps can help you find physical events and navigate to them, this app could help you find online events happening within the social network and guide you on how to participate.
* Content Discovery and Navigation App: This app would guide users through the vast amount of content available in the network. It could use algorithms to recommend content based on users' preferences and behavior, help users explore new types of content, and provide tools to navigate through different content categories.
* Trend Mapping App: This app could track and visualize trends within the social network. It could show what topics are currently popular, how trends evolve over time, and how they spread across the network.
What would be the Logic Pro?
* Social Media Music Studio: This app would allow users to create, edit, and mix music or audio tracks directly within the social OS. Users could then share their creations on their social profiles or collaborate with others. Features might include various sound samples, mixing tools, and the ability to record directly into the app.
* Podcast Creation App: This app would provide all the tools necessary to record, edit, and publish podcasts. It could also integrate with various social platforms to promote episodes, engage with listeners, and gather analytics.
* Audio Storytelling App: This app could provide a platform for users to create and share audio stories or spoken word content. It could offer tools for adding sound effects, music, and other audio enhancements.
* Collaborative Music App: This app would allow users to collaborate on music projects, providing a shared space where they can contribute tracks, mix together, and share their creations.
What would be the utility apps?
* Privacy Management App
* Content Scheduling App
* Analytics App
* Curation App
* Identity Verification App
* Anti-Harassment App
* Cross-Platform Search App
There’s a ton of opportunity here to build social apps which can sustain your lifestyle without needing to reach 1 billion users.
- @lensprotocol **just released V2!**
👇 Here's what you need to know to stay ahead in the Web3 social game.
The new V2 update will bring enhancements to attract more new social apps to build on top of it.
The rewritten codebase will remove barriers and allow more builders and developers to seamlessly construct various projects with ease.
The "Open Actions" strategy, equivalent to the "bring-your-own-smart contract," will further accelerate the social renaissance. This means it will introduce seamless synergy between the Lens app and custom smart contracts. 🤯
Lens V2 shines with another highlight: ERC-6551, which further empowers Lens profiles with social relationships, voice, and monetization capabilities. And guess what? You're right, the Lens profile you own will become more valuable over time. 🤯
The next update with the Profile Manager feature enables Lens profiles to delegate social actions to a different wallet, enhancing the security layer for Lens profiles. Users can securely store their profiles directly on hardware wallets and utilize them with any other wallet.
Lastly, through collective Value Share, they've expanded the possibilities for value sharing among users, algorithms, curators, and apps.
The programmable monetization layer allows everyone in the value chain to be rewarded, including users, algorithms, and other protocols.
- Linea is a new ZK Rollup from Consensys - but how is it different from the others?
Nicolas Liochon is the Global Lead for Linea, which is a new zkEVM rollup by Consensys. Rollups play a crucial role in scaling Ethereum as they reduce computational load on the main network by processing transactions off chain. The two prominent rollups currently available on Ethereum are ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups, and Linea is the latest ZK Rollup to launch. In our conversation we will explore how Linea sets itself apart in the already highly competitive Ethereum Layer 2 landscape. But first, we will begin our conversation with an introduction to Linea by Nicolas.

- Can AI BOOST Crypto Adoption?
DISCLAIMER: This video was not sponsored, endorsed, or affiliated with any of the AI tools mentioned/used throughout in any way.
AI had infiltrated everything on the internet, and I still knew nothing about using it. So to find out just how powerful generative AI tools could be, we ran an experiment. My job was to harness the power of AI to boost crypto adoption and hopefully save us from the bear market blues. What was my target? 50,000 views! I’ll share the entire journey in this video, whether or not we reached the goal and how you can very easily create a YouTube channel using only AI tools!!
- Will Prisma Finance Ignite The LST Wars?
Our guest today is the anonymous cofounder of Prisma Finance.
In this Quick Hit, we spotlight a new LSTfi protocol called Prisma Finance. We discuss will Prisma ignite the LST Wars, referring to the Curve Wars among protocols competing to capture voting power to allocate Curve liquidity rewards and bootstrap early DeFi protocols.
Self-described as "the end game for LSTs," Prisma will offer a highly anticipated non-custodial and decentralized Ethereum LST-backed stablecoin. Prisma's CoFounder discusses all you need to know about the upcoming launch and their stablecoin which will be incentivized on Curve and Convex Finance to create a capital-efficient flywheel where users can receive trading fees, CRV, CVX, and PRISMA on top of their Ethereum staking rewards.
Will Prisma trigger a new DeFi Summer? Tune in before Prisma's summer launch date TBD (in late July / early August 2023)!
