Dive into the world of Web3 Social Graphs with us 🎥🔍! In Episode 2, we unpack the basics and the power of these graphs, a true game-changer for creators, offering a multiplier effect for their content and enhanced content control 🎯💼
Experience the advantages of Web3’s portability, ensuring your content and interactions aren't confined to one platform. Welcome to a new era of cross-platform engagement, personalisation, and direct monetisation 🌍✨

- I had a call with a member of @thesymmetrical.lens who recently received a lens handle. She was excited to start exploring the Lensverse but didn’t know where to start. I gave her some suggestions for exploring the different apps and writing a genesis post about herself, but I think we can do better.
Imagine if the onboarding process for Lens would be gamified. Sony is an excellent example for doing this. Whenever a new PlayStation drops, there is a game specifically designed to showcase all the functionalities of the console. With ps5, it was Astro’s Playroom, and it was a fantastic demo for all the new functionalities. I think we can design something similar for Lens. Who is with me?
- it's official! we are investing in music NFTs. we want to acquire music from Mija, @reocragun.lens, LNRZ DAO, ROHKI, Daniel Allan and @pussyriotxyz.lens

3. Koru DAO struggles with spamming, but they are already fixing this
4. Korus is how we will call the NFT characters from now on
5. They are looking for Devs to help build out Koru and there will be bounties $$$
6. The artwork was done in-house at @gelato.lens
7. This is the first major NFT airdrop on Lens protocol
