- Many of you have probably been hearing about @gitcoin.lens "quadratic funding" grants round happening now. Is this your first #QF round? No worries. It's TalentLayer's first one too! We'll figure it out together...
Let's start from the beginning, what on earth is quadratic funding?
Quadratic funding (QF) is new type of crowdfunding that uses enables small donors to have a big impact...
1. A matching pool is created
2. Donors donate to projects
3. A quadratic formula is used 2 match funds: in this formula, smaller contributions get more weight
For example, if a project receives 200 donations of $10 each, this project would earn more matching funds than a similar project that receives 20 donations of $100 each. This makes match funding more fair - based on how many people care about an issue, and how much they donate.
So now you understand quadratic funding. Remember @gitcoin.lens? They are one of the OG QF pioneers. OGQFPs if you prefer.
#Gitcoin has been running major #crypto #quadraticfunding rounds for years, funding some of the most famous protocols in the ecosystem back when they were just small baby #opensource projects (see @optimismdao.lens as a great example)! Today, Gitcoin has helped deliver over $50,000,000 in grant funds.
Yesterday Gitcoin opened the #GG18 #quadraticfunding round - with over 300,000 in DAI earmarked for opensource software.
I'm happy to share that @talentlayer.lens is one of the 105 teams selected for this matching pool!
TalentLayer exists because of grants. Our open-source dev is 100% funded by #grants & #incubators!
Opensource #software couldn't exist without a thriving community of individual donors; now, small donors can have a big impact thanks to quadratic funding!
How far will your #donation go?
- when someone says: "there's free food at x event"
- it's happening! @gitcoin.lens #GG18 is live, and we've been selected to be a part of the #opensourcesoftware #quadraticfunding pool - with 300,000 DAI in matching funds!
and we're not alone - 105 opensource projects are a part of this matching pool! here are some of our top picks. there's no better time to support your fave opensource softwares!

@lenstubelogs.lens - #lenstube powering the decentralized video economy

- **🎉🎉🎉 Introducing *InfluLENSer* 🎉🎉🎉**
The all-in-one platform that helps...
👩 content creators to find paid #sponsorships
🛍️ brands hire #influencers to spread their message on Lens
This weekend @quent043.lens, Raphael Tavarez, Joao Nuno, and Chloe George united to build #InfluLENSer during @ethglobal.lens #Lisbon! We built #InfluLENSer using a combo of @LensProtocol & @TalentLayer dev tools!
✨✨✨ We won the #1 @lensprotocol prize! ✨✨✨
On #InfluLENSer, companies can hire influencers to promote their brand and influencers can access more opportunities to monetize!
Hirers can create an organization and allow multiple people on your team to manage relationships with influencers thanks to #safe SDK. Essential for big businesses to hire influencers!
Hirers can post sponsored content opportunities for influencers to browse and apply for. Hirers can check out influencers' social profiles and see what sponsored gigs they've completed in the past.
Influencers submit proposals for sponsorship gigs. Next, hirers can approve and reserve money in escrow! Then, influencers can post to Lens right in the proposal administration page.
BTW: Remember when #KimKardashian got sued by the SEC for not disclosing a sponsored post? Many people don't know it's a law that you must to disclose when ppl pay you to post! Luckily, now, when hiring posts AND social posts are public on-chain, disclosure is automatic!
All in all, super proud of what the team built - InfluLENSer really shows the power of composability through leveraging @LensProtocol's social stack and @TalentLayer's work stack to build something that couldn't have existed in web-2.
Thank you @nader.lens @stani.lens @paris.lens@christina.lens and frens for all the support!!
Cheers 🥂🥂🥂
Check out the build & open-source code here: https://ethglobal.com/showcase/influlenser-dcvrj
PS: Interested in helping build InfluLENSer? We're seeking entrepreneurs and builders who want to carry on it's vision beyond just a hackathon project, with the support of the @talentlayer.lens team. Sounds like you? DM me.

**Mainnet Easter Egg Hunt**
The Mainnet Easter Egg Hunt is your chance to learn about the team and **compete to win premium TalentLayer IDs and up to 144 USDC!**
To celebrate the TalentLayer mainnet launch on 4/4, we started an adventure where folks can find easter eggs, explore TalentLayer’s ecosystem, and compete for prizes! Each activity earns you points that qualify you for a chance to win the following prize packs:
TalentBest ➡️ 1 winner ⭐ $144 USDC and a premium TalentLayer ID
TalentBetter ➡️ 2 winners ⭐ $44 USDC and a premium TalentLayer ID
TalentLayer ➡️ 7 winners ⭐ a premium TalentLayer ID
***Winners will be announced on 04/14 DURING THE LIVESTREAM!***
**👩 Minting TalentLayer IDs 👩**
Today at 14:14 PM UTC PUBLIC minting will open for TalentLayer IDs! Thanks for waiting patiently for the public mint — finally, it’s time!
ℹ️ **Who can mint on April 14th, 2023?**
At 14:14 PM UTC we will remove the whitelist for minting TalentLayer IDs and anyone will be able to mint!
🚨 **ALERT:** @lensprotocol **frens and any early claimers! If you don’t mint your @TalentLayer ID that is being reserved by 4/14 at 14:14 it will be claimable by others! Mark your calendars and don’t loose your handle!**
ℹ️ **How much will normal TalentLayer IDs cost?**
We’ll have a 1 MATIC mint fee for 5+ character TalentLayer IDs. Specialty TalentLayer IDs are between 1 and 4 characters long — these are available for purchase at the price rates below.
**ℹ️ Can I buy multiple TLIDs?**
You can only have 1 TLID in a wallet — it’s impossible to mint more than one into one wallet. You can own different TLIDs in different wallets though.
**ℹ️ Can I trade TalentLayer IDs?**
TalentLayer ID’s are Activity Bound NFTs — they are transferable until they are used to make any activity on TalentLayer. Activities include creating a job post, submitting a proposal, and other actions. Once a TalentLayer ID becomes active, they become soul-bound and can not be transferred. For non-active TalentLayer IDs, you can trade them on any major NFT marketplaces, like Opensea for example.
**🚀 What’s Next? 🚀**
What’s next? Time to find work and hire your next team member on TalentLayer! As for the team? We’ll keep shipping, singing, and raccooning as always.
LFG!
- 📣The Web3 job platform **Work X** is launching today on @talentlayer!
⏰To celebrate, I will publish the first job post at 14:14 UTC today.
🔥ALPHA: my post will be about creating `Memes` (of course!)
We will be live streaming the launch and first job post, set alerts:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gf15MOwiMYc&ab_channel=TalentLayer
- I'm not really active in web2 social media, so I'm probably not the most knowledgable person to answer this but what comes to my mind is:
* sport (and I think sport professionals / teams / tournaments / ...) might be a great match with #lens cc @kleak.lens @zkjew.lens
* fashion (again, should work great with #lens #digitalFashion cc @emmajane1313.lens @eduardmsmr.lens @ensocollective.lens )
* beauty 🤷♀️
* job related content (should work great with #lens +1 cc @talentlayer.lens )
- And.... we're live. @talentlayer.lens contracts deployed on #Polygon mainnet! Now for a funny path to mainnet story this morning #buildinpublic
PS: Minting of TalentLayer IDs starts at 4:04 PM UTC 🤩
Early AM at The Block Lisboa crypto coworking @romain__tl.lens, @mattiaa.lens and I I tried to deploy. Then Romain realized that #PolygonScan was under maintenance for a 2-hour block this morning so we couldn't verify our contracts!! So we had to wait a bit and re-deploy.
So we waited. Then we all clicked "enter" at the same time!!! Played "it's the final countdown" and all that.
And then the deployments kept failing! Each time a different contract. Was super silly. So we kept playing "it's the final countdown". I turned on the "3 hour loop" edition. And we kept clicking.
One time I accidentally clicked deploy before the others were able to click together. So we had to cancel that deployment because it would have been inequitable.
Finally - just about 20 minutes ago - ALL CONTRACTS WERE FINALLY DEPLOYED! Success. We're on mainnet.
Then about 20 seconds after we deployed everything successfully @kyubi.lens walked in from his flight! Right in time for the high five session.
LFGTM! Let's fucking go to mainnet!! #buildinpublic
- We're doing videos now 😆
- TalentLayer's team mascot is the raccoon. We love #raccoons at @talentlayer.lens for many reasons. Why are we raccoons? Let's find out!
Raccoons are scrappy - At TalentLayer we forage for grants, opportunities, and free snacks where other's don't look! We've gotten $150K in grants so far. We've managed to not pay for food on many trips we go on thanks to @quentdc043, Cheif Raccoon, foraging for free food and bringing it back home.
Raccoons live by their own rules - At TalentLayer we're building something never been built before! And we're doing it in our own super crazy strange wild way LFG.
Want to join our effort to take over the future of work? Join our mob of open-source raccoons as we take on the world together! LFG! Learn more here: https://docs.talentlayer.org/open-source-contribution

- Today is @talentlayer.lens mainnet day!! In honor of the launch, we’re shouting out some of our top partners, and @lensprotocol is one of them. It's an honor to be composability frens with you...
Back in the day @owenbarnes.lens and @hellokpl.lens were looking at how to build @talentlayer.lens on top of Lens Protocol! Since work and social have a lot of differences, it ended up making sense as an additional protocol instead of living on Lens. That was the start of the TalentLayer you see today!
When we launched on testnet this winter, we were so stoked to finally unite with Lens to make our protocols composable and fuel a whole new kind of work/social platforms. So we wrote you a love letter (remember that @fabri.lens). Then our protocols became frens!!!!
With a grant from the Lens DAO we built out composability between @talentlayer.lens and @lensprotocol!! LAST WEEK we finished the build! Now we have the first platforms integrating both TL and Lensl!! Including a few social platforms on Lens BIG UPDATES COMING!!
Thanks to the whole Lens community, especially our fave fan @memester.lens, @fabri.lens for all your incredible support, @nader.lens for your encouragement, @chriscomrie.lens for your hype, and everyone else who’s been so welcoming!! ALL OF YOU!!

- 🌱🌱TalentLayer x Lens Protocol Composability Update 🌱🌱🌱
Hey, frens! Remember the much-hyped TalentLayer 🤝 Lens Protocol integration? This weekend, right before we go live on mainnet, we’re happy to provide some good news regarding our fave partnership.
We’re happy to announce that WE’RE COMPOSABLE! TalentLayer now empowers buildoors in the Lens community to add freelance and work marketplace functionality to their social apps! PLUS: Work marketplace builders can add social feeds to their apps!
Milestone 1: ✅ CompleteUnite Lens Handles & TalentLayer IDs 🤝
Our team evaluated various options for how to make Lens and TalentLayer composable. After our research, our open-source community proposed the following TalentLayer Improvement Proposal on uniting Lens and TalentLayer, our technical decisions on it and our rationale. Read the TLIP to see what we implemented!
We HIGHLY recommend you check out the TLIP. ***There’s a lot of good technical stuff in there if you are into that.***
👉👉👉 TLIP 0005 : Unite Lens & TalentLayer 👈👈👈
Milestone 2: ✅ CompleteBuild Fork-Able Plugin for Displaying Unified Profiles 👨🏽
For Milestone 2 we built into our demo frontend a way for workers to display their Lens social feeds and reputations on their main profiles.
“Indie”, our demo frontend, is an open-source fork-able marketplace codebase that is available for marketplaces and other platforms integrating with TalentLayer to borrow from and use to get inspired.
We have 6 platforms in engineering right now and more in the lineup to start engineering soon. Most of them are starting with the Indie codebase and 3 are already starting on the Lens integration based on our demo code. More details on that in Milestone 3 section.
Want to test out the demo DAPP?
👉👉👉 Click here! 👈👈👈
Want to fork the code and start building your own DAPP on TalentLayer?
👉👉👉 Fork yea! 👈👈👈
Milestone 3 — 🕜 Progress UpdateGet Lens Profiles Displayed on 1st Work Marketplace! 🌱
We have one team that is almost done with their Lens integration into their custom frontend. This first marketplace is called Delance and it’s being built by a team out of California. They are currently in engineering right now, but they have been taking early user registrations and have their landing page live.
Want to check out Delance?

We’re almost done with this integration! Our team’s been hard at work improving searchability the past few weeks. So awesome to have the support of Filecoin and PL in this effort. This functionality will be present in the first 3 marketplaces launching to TalentLayer - WorkPod, DeLance, and HireVibes.

⭐ A Letter from the Team Leads ⭐
Greetings, friends! Welcome to this week’s community update. The team has been having a blast getting ready for mainnet and taking in the incredible resources from the accelerators we’re in. Let’s dive into the updates!
📢 Announcements
1. We’ll will be speaking at the February Gnosis Chain Meetup in Lisboa alongside Balancer and Paraswap. LFG 🚀🚀🚀
✅ Progress Updates
1. This past week we made good progress on making some of our key smart contracts upgradeable. A ton of time and thought went into this decision. Want to know our thought process? Read our research here.
2. We’re on our second week of our second accelerator (keeping name private for now… soon can share more public). It’s been jam-packed with pitches and meetings with dozens of new mentors and advisors. Has been super valuable to get their feedback on strategy so far and stoked to keep up the relationships.
3. We’re in consideration for a Developer DAO and Fluence grant to take ALL our core team devs to Denver. Fingers crossed.
4. Scheduled an audit of TalentLayer’s smart contracts during the last two weeks of February. Final hours before mainnet!!!

2. Shipped searchability improvements for IPFS data
3. Had a few amazing tech advising meetings with JB and Clement, leadership from Kleros — helped us refine our plan to implement upgradability before we get to mainnet with the first marketplaces.
4. Marketplaces moving forward on engineering on Avalanche and Polygon testnets; HireVibes, WorkPod, Delance.

- We have the dev tools.
- New year, new integration! The @talentlayer.lens team is proud to announce our integration with @push_.lens; enabling on-chain messaging for platforms building on TalentLayer ~ starting with @polygon0x.lens!
Our messaging plugin will allow marketplaces building on TalentLayer to easily facilitate messaging between users on their platform and other platforms!
Push shares our vision for open and agnostic protocols. Push is privacy-centric and uncensorable; ensuring that marketplaces building on TalentLayer and their users are protected.
How does our plugin use Push? #PushChat is used to facilitate messages between users to negotiate rates or proposals and conduct communications throughout the delivery of work. #PushNotifications power the plugin's alerts.
Read all about the integration in our latest Medium post. LFG!
