As someone who grew up in countries around the world, music has always been my way of connecting with new cultures and staying connected to my childhood. If you know me, you know that music is my greatest love and deepest passion. Curating playlists is my love language and I am on a forever journey to discover new inspirational sounds to share with my people. I am so excited to share my first of many recorded sets with the squad at @SET44. <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE3dPoQdTL0

**LIP-4: Profile Guardian** We're creating a proposal to add a safety layer into Lens Protocol profiles to help Lens users to protect against phishing scams. NFT owners including Lens profiles have been recently targeted with phishing attempts. While it's disheartening to see people lose their NFTs or profiles, we want to be proactive and innovate on the safety standards for NFTs. We are introducing Profile Guardian which disables certain critical actions such as approvals and transfers for Lens profiles. Profile Guardian is enabled by default and can be opted-out if profile owners want to move it to a new address. Disabling it will activate a 7-day cooldown period. During the 7-day cooldown period, services such as Lens API can track and provide the data to clients, who can notify users that their profiles are in an unsafe state, and recommend actions to secure the profile. We hope Profile Guardian inspires others to improve end-user security when interacting with NFTs, especially as more users onboard into the web3 space. Full Proposal: https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/18
Yay!! Excited to share that I have been invited to speak at TED Tech in London with TED and Culture3! Looking forward to bringing digital art and NFTs even more into the spotlight!
when you really think about it, a true salesman will convince you not to use their product. What’s happening in web2 social is either 4D chess, or ZIRP-fueled crash taking out one of the older social networks Good thing Lens is here for when I want to read more than 30 minutes of posts 😇
Some stay dry and others feel the decentralized content ecosystem
Pretty cool career moment for me in getting my first Spotify playlist cover I wrote this down as a goal at the beginning of the year with literally no clue how it would happen Sometimes things fall into place - KEEP GOING!
It happens Produced and written by me <3

Thank you @vibing.lens @christina.lens @opoptoe.lens @andreih.lens @nader.lens @punkess.lens @alexanderguy.lens @huugo.lens @lindseymills.lens for collecting my post and supporting Sarah and Sweetwater Coffee in Dillon, MT! Sarah was delighted to see people wanted to support her 🤩—> story here https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x24-0x0829 As she is not web3 native I met up with her to hand her the cash from the collects revenue of her post. Here’s her reaction:
The vibe is the vessel
Great piece in *The New Yorker* on the trend of DIY private clubs. In the past, private clubs were the exclusive based on wealth but today, theres a new generation of DIY grassroots private clubs forming to provide an IRL places for people from different backgrounds and industries to connect over curated social experiences. I couldn't help but turn my mind to Lens when reading it.... As a social layer, Lens has the potential to power a wide range of digital communities that can be just as stimulating. We're already seeing the formation of micro-communities within the Lens ecosystem, where people who may never have crossed paths are connecting over shared interests. - This comment left here by @punkess.lens today is an amazing example of that: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x16a1 - "Music Is Social" - IYKYK is another one Looking back at the magic of old-school Twitter, what drew many of us in was the openness and ability to discover and connect with people from completely different backgrounds. However, the challenge was often taking those connections to the next level, into deeper smaller space curated experiences. With Lens' ever-emerging front-ends providing more curation (e.g. @diversehq.lens launched today), digital community enabling tools (embedded governance in follower NFTs and publications), composability and ownership, we now have the ability to create meaningful connections throughout *the entire internet* on an open graph AND take them to more curated and defined experiences, fostering even deeper connections. I am calling it *DIY Lens Clubs ✌️* https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/17/new-yorks-diy-private-club
We’re so grateful to join the Lens community, and we want to properly introduce ourselves for those who don’t know us.

New music on Lens. 💜 I find this space super cool to showcase unfinished tracks and maybe get someone else onboard to help and finish with fresh ideas, vocals, words or simply by reviewing it. I've entitled it as "Kindness" and it's made to make you smile, get high on happiness and use that joy to take good care of you and the others. I hope you like it.
GM everyone! My name is Shavonne Wong and I'm so excited to be joining this amazing community. I'm a 3D virtual model creator and artist from Singapore 🇸🇬 , and I've been creating art for over a decade now. I started out as a fashion photographer, but recently I've been having a blast as a 3D artist in the NFT space. It's been an incredible journey and I've been lucky enough to have some of my work showcased on Vogue, sold to Idris Elba, and exhibited at the Venice Biennale. I'm also a co-founder of a community called NFT Asia, where we connect and support each other in our creative endeavors. You can check out some of my work at www.shavonnewong.art. I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you. Let's create some magic together! ✨
birth chart of lens according to the info ppl gave me. p cool, launched under a lunar eclipse
**Don't jump to conclusions** Sometimes life can be painful (even very). But not always, right? 10 wmatic, 25 editions, 10% referral My first art minted exclusively on Lens!
My new socials page: https://vitalik.ca/files/misc_files/socials.txt I'm eagerly trying out Mastodon, Farcaster, Lens and others, and I'll bow to Lord Elon and pay his $8/month too... but only when it's available on a non-iOS platform. Let the best socials win! * * there will be multiple winners
Okay. I'm satisfied enough that it's usable. Gonna hang out here a bit.
**Henri Bergmann & Wennink - Simulacrum - Open Edition** Collect my latest release with Wennink “Simulacrum” for the next 24 hours. This track is launching today exclusively on Lens prior to the wide release on November 18th, 2022. I joined Lens a couple months ago and wanted to do something special for all my new fans on here. Hope you like this track and make sure you check back here in 24 hours for another surprise.
Honestly, the diversity of cultural content on Lens is building up quickly. Next up, curator tools and interest graphs. Its going to hit the ecosystem quickly when you see what we've been cooking up!
Congrats to @yoginth.lens @sasicodes.lens & all of the @lenster.lens contributors on being the #1 Trending Github repo! Proudly powered by @lensprotocol & @lensapi.lens! Builders Keep Building 🔨 Collect this moment to support @lenster.lens development :)
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.
Did you guys know about https://www.clipto.io/ ? Even before the @lensxyz.lens become the thing you could request yelling meme king @gabrielhaines to record the video for you. I will let you collect one of my messages recorded by him soon on @LensProtocol
Please, drop here pictures of your tattoos so I can collect a few and to get ideas to do new ones. 👀

My daughter made this in art class today. It has a strange air of familiarity to it... Hmmm. Title: Emotion Ghosts Artist: Regina J. Mortis Medium: Construction Paper, Sharpie, Crayon Limited Edition Mint (100) 10% of proceeds will go to her piggy bank. 90% of proceeds will go to her college fund.
The Vorhees vs SBF debate is interesting because it’s basically how every Abolish vs Maintain the Police debate goes. The conversation is better served with a decision maker on the “maintain status quo” side, but because that decision maker can make decisions without any recourse (and make the lives of anyone who calls that out in an informed manner materially worse), they don’t have to speak their case with the nuance of their opposition
A runaway thought: The metaverse is here already; it’s just social media. People spend hundreds of dollars on their ‘metaverse’ self when they post photos of their outfits and accessories online. That online ‘self’ asynchronously interacts with other people’s live selves when they look at your posts and make character assessments based on what they see. The biggest non-recursive reason why the digital metaverse hasn’t taken off is cost to entry and the “uncanny valley” (which is a little recursive but I digress). It’s technically cheaper to buy or rent an expensive (looking) outfit that you can keep on IG as a catalogue of your aesthetic than to purchase something with the headspace of a Fortnite skin, as if you only bought this for the hype and you will eventually amortize the cost of the outfit to 0 once the next drop occurs* * yeah I know hypebeasts do this but most people aren’t hypebeasts
My first audio post! 🎧 This is an unreleased, live recording of Emergence — a piece I wrote for string quartet and electric bass. I love mixing acoustic and electronic instruments✨
TL;DR Gen Z doesn’t believe in mainstream culture.... next wave of musicians that break will be driven by micro-cultures, social discovery and curation. Depth not breath. https://www.billboard.com/pro/new-music-tiktok-artist-development-suffering/ It's early but feel like we're building a lot of diverse sub cultures here on Lens.

At 1000 followers I may doxx myself and show my face. Won't no longer be anon. I think it's time to come out the shadows. Could end up modelling for #lens 😉😜
Love this graphic giving an overview of some of the Lens ecosystem. While not comprehensive it's a great start. We're also working on something similar at Lens to showcase more of what's happening in the ecosystem. 🌿
