- What's up frens. It's been a minute but I'm here to see how things are going in @lens/hey land.
- I built a Merkle Proof Generator tool to help demo some concepts I'm writing about in an upcoming article.
I've looked for a simple tool like this a few times in the past and never found one. I hope others find it useful ❤️

- Have you ever wondered how **dynamic NFTs** work? Indie developer @sconnolly.lens
wrote up a deep dive:

- Have you built a new project on a Layer 2 recently? I'm doing some research for a blog post and would love to ask you some questions!
- Fresh new IndieDAO project collab with the @cabindotcity team: Cabin Census & City Directory. Behind the scenes look at the magic that went into this project:
The Cabin community just powered up!
In addition to discovering Cabin enthusiasts across the world, you can now browse Cabin’s growing list of neighborhoods and unique offerings. Cabin is ALIVE across the chainverse, embracing protocols like @hatsprotocol, @otterspace_xyz and @unlockprotocol.
Pulling all of this activity into a single experience was no small feat.
We hooked them up with a sync system that pulls all of this on-chain activity into a single app experience beautifully designed by @mel_being.

Reach out to build with us! 👷🏻♀️
- If your Discord doesn't have a "gm" channel, are you even a web3 community?
- Say "Thank you" to people who help you out even if it's their job you help you.
Goes a long way.
- Fun hack attempt on my Telegram yesterday.
1. I receive a random "hi" message on Telegram from someone I haven't spoke to in a while and who I've never messaged on Telegram.
2. Then I get another series of messages from the same person but from a different Telegram account.
3. The person acts confused like "What's going on, why is this so weird?"
4. They send me a screenshot of their side bar and then say "What does yours look like? Please send a screenshot."
5. Just before I'm asked to take a screenshot, I receive a Telegram system message that contains a login code.
6. If I took a screenshot of my sidebar and sent it, the login code would have been included.
I ended up just blocking the users and deleting the chat but in hindsight I wish I thought of a better way to mess with this person since I was onto them. Oh well maybe next time.
- I am melting right now 🥲
My 12 year old son spent several evenings this week working on a "Pixel Project" on his drawing tablet.
It turns out he was making this Pixel Cupcake for me (I have a thing for cupcakes).
I'm always trying to encourage him to see beauty and value in his art, even if it's not perfect or as good as experienced artists.
Help me with a little experiment? Collect this post and help me show him how amazing he really is 🤩
Proceeds will go towards his art supplies 🎨
- Smart contract developers, if you are interested in getting started with Base and you are a Foundry snob like myself, I created a repo that makes it easy to complete the Base quest using Foundry. Cheers 🍻

- gm stands for g'day mates and always did
- Does anyone else need to consciously resist saying "gm" to normies IRL instead of the expected "good morning"?
Just me? Okay.
- Yesterday I wrote a large check to a small business for landscaping work.
They really needed the cash to pay their workers.
Their bank put a 10 day hold on processing the check.
They called me in a bit of a panic to see if there was another way they could get the payment faster. They were embarrassed to ask me about this and I was willing to help but there wasn't much we could do.
We both concluded the call with...
"Banks suck, huh?"
- The days when you can sit down and focus on building are the best days.
- Are you paying attention to what's happening with **Ralph Lauren**, **Poolsuite** and the **Grand Leisure** project?
1. Holders of any Poolsuite NFT got access to a real life event in Miami.
2. Grand Leisure avatars will soon be dynamic with the ability to equip Ralph Lauren branded accessories.
3. Ralph Lauren stores will soon accept cryptocurrencies.
*"Poolsuite NFT holders have now been sent commemorative Ralph Lauren tokens, issued on Ethereum. The tokens can be used to register for tickets to a private party at a Miami estate hosted in late April. The NFTs have been distributed to more than 2,700 addresses."*
*"Holders of Poolsuite’s Grand Leisure collection will also be able to update their “Leisurist” avatars using Ralph Lauren-inspired digital looks based on the retailer’s recent runway show in Los Angeles."*
*"Ralph Lauren will accept bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), MATIC, apecoin and stablecoin USDC"*

- Massive shout outs and kudos to @wagmi.lens and @nader.lens for being excellent supporters for #Lensverse builders and just overall great human beings.

- My wife and I went to a soccer game yesterday.
When the people in front of us stood up and blocked our view, we turned to each other at the same time and said "Moloch" and remained seated.
Thanks @bankless.lens
- Doing simple things with blockchain data is still pretty difficult.
"When was this NFT minted?" should be a very easy question to answer but it isn't easy.
- Getting lots of mileage on this airbrush now.
I was also told the unicorn looks like the 1inch logo but it was just a coincidental choice by my daughter 😛
- Pushing about a quarter million in USDC through Indie Protocol this week to pay fantastic freelance devs and designers.
It's. Getting. Real.

- I'll be hanging with some absolute legends to chat about the future of work at 4:30pm on the DAO/Community stage.
Stop by and say GM!

- Goerli is congested, it must be ETHDenver Camp #BUIDL 💖
- Are there any Lens talks at ETHDenver?
- ETHDenver has so many presentations, it's incredibly difficult to stand out. I wouldn't be surprised if some talks have exactly 0 people in attendance.
- I really just want someone to invent Avatar Protocol where the ultimate power token is randomly transferred to a different account every few years.
- Super excited to finally reveal @indiedao.lens amazing project lineup. Looking forward to adding to this list LFG!!!!

- Keep your feet on the ground frens 🫡
- Ever since this meme, the term "Corporate" in our household signals that the treats left out on the counter are fair game.
Like all things corporate, they are the worst of the batch. Not worthy of special occasions. Not to be shared with friends.
- Playing around with different visualizations for Lens profile engagement trends. WDYT?
- We don't really celebrate valentine's day but we may reconsider because my God this cake was fantastic.
- it was nice playing in the garden today.
- This is the future of content amplification 🌊
- It's Saturday and I'm working. It's a damn good thing I enjoy what I do.
- Gm!
