- SheFi Summit Istanbul! 🇹🇷
Thank you @lens/lensprotocol for sponsoring such a magical event!
- fund. female. founders.
- I am my lenny, my lenny is me
- Not going to lie, it’s really HARD getting back into lifting after 5 weeks off.
A little but loud voice inside wants to take the easy route & give up.
But it’s a good reminder that sometimes we have to start over or take steps back for progress.
Just do the hard things! And do them in style with @lensprotocol.lens
- We held the biggest femme power event at #EthCC, and Web3 can’t stop talking about it! Missed the inaugural SheFi Summit? We created this recap video that you can collect for 1 MATIC to support scholarships for SheFi Season 9. Plus here’s what happened and how to secure tickets to our next dreamy event.
Over 300 leaders and community members gathered in Paris for a day of elevated talks, panels, workshops, and networking. Supernovas collaborated around innovative ideas and visionary insights from Web3’s top leaders in a positive environment for an unforgettable start to #EthCC.
SheFi Summit was about more than learning and career networking; it was a space for friendship and creating authentic support systems for women and non-binary people in Web3. Novas also experienced our hands-on approach to Web3 education through live engagement with applications and protocols by @lensprotocol, @ensocollective.lens, and @tokenproof.lens. 9h
Attendees minted over 626 POAPs from 172 unique addresses and earned rewards, including prizes, IRL perks, digital merch, and the SheFi Passport, unlocking access to future events!
We’re just getting started; join our list to get first access to future discos, collaborations, and benefits.

- Introducing Orb Communities! 🪐
The Community Layer of Web3.
Orb Communities are composable and interoperable, built on top of the @LensProtocol.lens.lens. It makes it easy to integrate community features across Lens apps.
Today, we are thrilled to present the first iteration of Orb Communities, a vision that has been with us since we embarked on the Orb journey a year ago.
These communities are a fundamental part of the composable and interoperable community layer of web3.
User-owned communities empower people by decentralizing authority and making every individual a crucial stakeholder in the community's direction and evolution.
This marks a significant shift from traditional, centralized communities, where only a select few make decisions.
We believe that @LensProtocol Profiles are much more than NFTs.
At the core of our Communities membership lies the ERC-6551 with Lens Profiles turned into Token Bound Accounts (TBA).
Communities are much more vibrant and engaging when built together.
We warmly welcome developers to build upon it! Check out our Mirror for more https://mirror.xyz/orbapp.eth/s5HNwiDup4sw2nbDi8FgZmlcpR6qIulTsW5qh6KRT0I

- leaders building communities must be active participants in their communities
- Regulation is one of the biggest hurdles for crypto adoption. I shared dinner with Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Cynthia Lummis, and came away with one thing: Our representatives genuinely care about financial freedom and security for women. Here’s what made me hopeful:
Regulation must provide clarity on crypto so women can safely build crypto businesses, invest in these emerging assets, and access the novel services like DeFi enabled by blockchain technology. Crypto enables women to have more control over their finances, creations and data. Regulation must encourage participation, experimentation, & innovation while balancing consumer safety. Crypto is not going anywhere. It's a question of how do we ensure US is a leader in the space and women are leaders too.
If regulations enable innovation in US, it would reduce US customers funds being deposited in FTX-like scams. The RFIA bill introduced by the Senators is a key step towards progress, and they asked all of the dinner attendees to review it and provide feedback that will enable them to push it forward.
When it comes to women's economic security, it is a bi-partisan issue. Women outlive, outvote and outnumber men yet they face many more economic challenges, have less money and have less financial education. We need to come together to advocate for our issues and goals. Education on a broad range of financial topics, especially crypto and web3 is imperative! Women are more risk aware and not purchasing or using it at the rates men are, and this needs to change so they can also benefit from these digital assets. We need to ensure they understand the differences between centralized actors like FTX and DeFi protocols on blockchain, exchange custody vs self custody, etc.
On a personal note, I was very glad I got to share the SheFi story, mission, vision and goals. Economic opportunity, security and freedom through crypto and digital assets is why I started SheFi. I have endless energy to work towards this future for women.
Thank you Kyrha Lever Ruff and Rachel Pearson for the invitation and wonderful evening of impactful discussion. Also, thank you to Mastercard and Stripe.

With markets cooling down and greater accessibility, now’s the perfect time to begin your Web3 journey with us at SheFi —> https://tinyurl.com/2z7cadrs
- We've seen again and again that Web2 infrastructure providers like Hetzner cannot be relied on and are a risk to scaling Web3 protocols and applications.
I co-founded W3bCloud in 2018 with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and @consensyss.lens to build Web3 native storage and compute infrastructure for Web3 protocols. Now, the company is going public via a SPAC with Social Leverage Acquisition Corp.
Why is Web3 Infrastructure so important to the decentralized future we want to see?
What's it like bringing Web3 to Wallstreet?
W3bCloud co-founder Sami Issa and myself sat down with Howard Lindzon on his Panic With Friends Podcast to discuss crypto and Web3 infrastructure, our founder story and why we find our mission critical to the success of Web3.

- Vote for your favorite one liner on ZKPs. I am going to write a longer explanation with an example:
1. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove to someone else that a claim is true without revealing the claim or information about it. She only shares it is true.
1a. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove a claim is true without revealing the claim or information about it.
1b. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove to someone else that a claim is true without revealing the claim or information about it -- only that it is true.
2. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove to someone else that a statement is true without revealing the statement or information about it. She only shares it is true.
2a. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove a statement is true without revealing the statement or information about it.
3. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove a claim is true without having to provide the claim or data to back it up.
Nuances obviously, but I am trying to get something for Keep It Simple SheFi - KISS. Please comment!
