Launching my first all-on-chain and most extensive collection yet, created from scratch with coder Yurika Sayostarting as a weekend project in late 2022. This marks my debut into code-based gen art
After evolving through 28 versions from a concept inspired by TV moiré patterns, we’ve crafted something entirely unique, fully realized through coding.
Rich with childhood memories and infused with personal context, this collection offers a glimpse into
something you’ve never seen before. Can’t wait for you to see it!

- Just unveiled at Gateway, my 'Synthetic Reflection # 5' draws inspiration from the kitschy kitchens of the 60s. The challenge in the prompt was to blend a hopeful vision of the future with a dystopian feel. It's a close-to-heart prompt, but it led to such diverse imagery...

- gm, everyone🌿
I'm wearing a T-shirt featuring artwork that my son, who was 8 years old back in 2021, altered for me. He's more OG than I am.
Actually, this pixel art was sold for about $ 20 at the time, but Steve Aoki bought it in a secondary sale…. This changed his and my life forever. T-shirt will be his first merch at his first museum exhibition starting this weekend. Proud mama here🥹

- Thrilled to be featured on 「FEMEGEN」by right Click Save + @verticalcrypto.lens for Artblocks Marfa.
My collection, Pixelated Perception, dives into Japan's tech evolution in the '80s & '90s, highlighting gender disparities through playful pixelation and the vibrant shades of pink. It's a nod to our pop culture's excessive consumption, with layers of hidden meanings.

- gm🌸 who will be in Lisbon for NFC23?
- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.
