- Lens Protocol is open, anyone who has a profile can have permissionless access regardless of what application they are using. We believe in supporting content creators and followers who create an engaging environment for everyone.
Some applications use gasless and signless transactions, and we have now introduced eligibility requirements for these features.
While everyone is eligible by default, accounts with low-signal engagement will not be eligible. You can read more about our requirements here. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/gasless#eligibility-requirements
We are also testing filtering low-signal notifications for a better user experience. https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/users-notifications#api-details
At Lens, we believe that Web3 social should create a better experience than before, by using blockchain technology. We are always experimenting with ways to better our user experience by filtering low-signal profiles and bots. Let’s keep experimenting, our DMs are open for feedback 🧪
- ETH Tokyo Music NFT Kickback

- おはよう @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
The Lens team is on the ground and we're so excited to bring the social layer of web3 to Japan.
We have $20k in prizes for the hackathon!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
🎖️ 10 best Lens Integrations for nullk each
Lens is web3 native meaning it’s simple to build native payment features directly into your app. Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries, and in a permissionless way. Premium content, token-gated rewards, tipping, crowdfunding, subscription services, referral, and affiliate programs are just a handful of the countless types of integrations you can build with Lens.
Looking for some inspiration?
- We're still in the early innings of AI and ML and want to see more devs utilizing the latest innovations from OpenAI, Replicate, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Dust just to name a few. Imagine the possibilities when web3 social intersects with AI/ML 🤯
- You could use AI/ML to analyze a user’s feed over the course of a few days and condense it into a single view so they can visit less often and still be up to date with what’s the latest and greatest.
- Or create a social learning platform that uses AI to create personalized learning paths for users. It could assess users' knowledge levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and provide real-time
feedback and guidance.
- You could use Lens profiles specifically for your gaming identity. Imagine your in-game items and high scores attached to your Lens profile and you curate a Lens leaderboard for the community.
- Bust a move! Build an app that lets users participate in virtual dance-off challenges. Users can record and upload their dances, challenge friends or random users, and compete for the elusive best dancer on Lens title 💃🕺
- Build a community app for @galverse.lens on Lens that utilizes the Splits for Collects feature (https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/create-post-typed-data#multirecipientfeecollectmodule) and you'll help with the development of the anime, character design, story, and more.
- Imagine using the Collect module for more exclusive content such as event ticketing.
- How about building a governance forum specifically for Lens users? gm DAOs 🤔
- Calling all pet lovers out there. Create a social platform where users can showcase their pets' talents, tricks, and general awesomeness. Users can upload videos of their pets and participate in virtual talent shows, with categories like "Best Trick," and "Funniest Moment"
- Want to bridge that gap from web2 social to web3? Build a site that shows you the most followed people that have used a site (maybe the 🐦 app) or help users connect their web2 account and generate a ZKP for mapping.
- Or a Lens creator dashboard for tracking post analytics (engagement, collects, revenue, etc) and helping you find your 1000 true fans.
- Maybe you find yourself collecting every post from one of the 100k profiles already on Lens. Create a module to “subscribe” to someone and automatically collect everything the post within certain parameters.

- Snapshot of the process behind my work being auctioned at Sotheby's tonight!
Auction period - 19th - 26th April!
I am not only the 1st NFT artist to reach Sotheby's // I guess I am also the 1st artist from Lens to be there 😃
Link to Sotheby's page!
https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2023/glitch-beyond-binary/downloading-shiva-1-of-1-nft-by-cybershakti-2023
"Downloading Shiva" is a self-portrait by Glitch artist Cyber Shakti, inspired by the love story of Shiva and Shakti in Hindu mythology. The work was made when the artist adorned her Shakti avatar, coming into her own during a challenging time in her life!
The artwork features a digital portrait of Cyber Shakti in a trance-like state, surrounded by a swirling vortex of vibrant glitched pixels.
The focal point of the artwork is the image of Shiva, one of the primary gods in Hinduism, who is depicted as a digital manifestation. The image of Shiva appears to be downloading into the artist's consciousness. The work merges the ancient deity, retelling the story of the masculine and feminine deities in the cyber realms.
Cyber Shakti was inspired by the moment in the love story of Shiva and Shakti when Shakti decided to be in her own power and awaken Shiva from his deep state of meditation. The union of Shiva and Shakti represents the union of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, and this moment in the love story symbolizes the power of the feminine to awaken and transform the masculine within. In this Glitch rendition, Shiva and Shakti are slowly becoming one. Shiva is Shakti & Shakti is Shiva.

Curated Lens Creators is our attempt at curating lists of creators + their audiences for different types of promotional content. It's a data pipeline that does two things:
- who are the top creators on lens based on activity, follows, post engagement, etc?
- using the lens profile interests, use an ML/LDA model to infer a creator’s actual interest based on their content
Need to promote an NFT Collection?
DeFi Protocol upgrade?
Music NFT drop?
Latest creator tool?
We're taking the first step towards offering curated lists as a service for lens clients; suggested follows, for you, promotional offers (cc @stani.lens)

- What are you building?
- What did you collect recently?
- Hey Lens Frens, in our genesis post, we want to introduce ourselves 🌿
**Who We Are**
Bundlr is a data layer providing scalable, performant, and seamless solutions to empower builders. We are a scaling solution for Arweave and currently process over 90% of its transactions.
**Our Vision**
Anyone should be able to discover, read, and write public information, forever. There should equally be an option to securely store private information. And all of this should happen without sacrificing performance, scalability, and the ease of use that users expect. We strive to turn these ideals into reality.
**Why Use Bundlr?**
Bundlr is the natural choice for any use case in which the permanence and provenance of data are important, especially when coupled with the need for low latencies and costs at high throughput. We are anticipating that Bundlr will become an integral component of not only decentralized social media, but also messaging, information archiving, and other use cases in which data might be vulnerable to censorship or unauthorized modification.
**Want to learn more about us? Check out our blog**
https://bundlr.mirror.xyz/sJpTh3kVJd3XIGIFJ_cmn5u4CoyxAC3Ujiif-QKEHq0
We’ll have some big news to share in the near future. Stay tuned 😊

- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

This name was already in use in the web3 space, and we want to respect that.
So... we're taking new name suggestions below 👇

Since yesterday, Momoka is already being beta tested on Lenster, Lenstube, Orb, Buttrfly and Phaver.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Momoka.
To make it easier to find any transaction made with Momoka, we built the Momoka Explorer (http://momoka.lens.xyz) to track and find Momoka transactions and to monitor the throughput speed of Momoka.

- How to run a Momoka Verifier
This video walks through how to run a Momoka Verifier on your local machine 👟
The Momoka Verifier enables you to operate a trustless verifier node that validates LENS DA publications in real-time.
It can also serve as an indexer, allowing you to stream and index the data yourself.
This open-source solution relies exclusively on software that you can run independently, without any dependency on LENS.
This ensures that even if LENS were to cease operation, you would retain access to your content, maintain proof of ownership, and continue to utilize it, all thanks to a decentralized data availability storage layer.
- What it’s like seeing Momoka in action
- Find us at ETH Denver
- hello lens 💜
i’m so thrilled to be here.
i've been involved in this ecosystem since 2017 and despite the ups and downs i'm still so excited and enthusiastic about how this technology can empower artists to break away from the music industrial complex. more importantly, allow creators to connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. it's the best time ever to be an independent artist.
although my main gig has always been music, i've always been a visually oriented person. in fact, in 2002 i almost went to design school instead of music. i often wonder how things would have turned out. i've been lucky enough to work with amazing visual artists over the years to craft album artwork and a cohesive vision, but lately i've been dabbling with creating my own.
which brings me to this image, an abstract architectural space, somewhat liminal but i find it weirdly comforting. it's a free collectible for following me on this journey.
i'll be posting music, art, video and combinations of all three.
a million thanks to the lens team for helping me get the coveted 3 letter handle.

- Podcast NFTs are back with a Lens Protocol exclusive ft. Christina Beltramini.
This drop celebrates S7E15 with @christina - an eye-opening conversation covering her time growing web2 social at TikTok to now growing web3 social at Lens.
From championing the curator to breaking down the new era of user-generated content, our session dives into a ton.
The inspiration behind this drop stems from the realization that a creator's community of collectors will surpass its community of followers.
Lens currently embodies this best and has enabled a new experiment between the intersection of content distribution and collection.
I've been active on here for months now and consistently get more engagement across web3 social, though I have yet to experiment with its full potential.
That changes tomorrow.
Drop details:
When: Thursday (tomorrow), 12 PM PST
Where: On Lens (URL texted Thursday)
Format: 24 hr open edition
Collect: 1 $WMATIC
(You **do not** need a Lens profile to collect).

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.
