Liam ZebedeeHow Lens Protocol will scale to 50K users on Polygon.
Lens Protocol is a protocol for an open, programmable social graph from Aave. It’s superbly architected and I have been building on it for a couple of weeks now. In this article, I dive deep into answering the question - how many users can this young protocol support?Measuring scalability.We want to understand how many users the Lens protocol can scale to. Lens is deployed on the Polygon blockchain, which is a Proof-of-Stake network. In terms of consensus, Polygon’s node software is a combina...
Liam ZebedeeUnderstanding Nouns.
reify. verb. the turning of something abstract into a concrete thing or object Nouns is a model of decentralized brand creation. But what does that really mean? It’s about creating a reification loop. In the beginning, there is nothing but an idea. What if we made a decentralized brand? The idea has an image - the Nouns glasses. ⌐◨-◨ So people contribute money to this idea. Where could it go? And after a certain period of time, the DAO begins to grow a treasury. What do you do with a treasury...
Liam ZebedeeNo-one knows crypto mobile is broken. Here's the problem.
There’s this quote from VisaKanv which goes - “a problem is by definition something that is poorly-defined. As soon as you know how to solve it, it becomes a task”. And that is where crypto on mobile is today - it’s an undefined problem.What is the problem? I can tell you exactly, having attempted to build crypto mobile apps with my mate Shun. He built Light Wallet - using it, you can approve transactions within Safari on iOS. Here are the problems:The problem on mobile.Onboarding.Users must ...

I’m excited to announce the first technical preview of Dappnet, a bulletproof platform for hosting decentralized frontends.
Dappnet makes it possible to publish content that cannot be censored. Users can access it easily as simply as typing 1inch.eth inside their browser. Domains are resolved using ENS, and content is served using IPFS, a P2P network.
Today we are releasing 3 things:
The Dappnet client for macOS, which works with Chrome, Brave and Firefox.
Full open-sourcing of the entire project.
Documentation on Dappnet and how to deploy to it.
Dappnet Alpha gives you decentralized access to 5 popular DeFi dapps - 1inch, Curve, Compound, ENS domains, and Kwenta + the ability to access any website deployed to .eth, in browser. No more .eth.limo. Native support in your browser.
What you should expect: websites on .eth may download slowly - they are coming from a P2P network! We are improving the UX day-in day-out. Occasionally you need to do a force refresh because there are some lingering issues.
Dappnet is in alpha. Websites may not download perfectly yet, and the client may be slow on multiple concurrent downloads. But we’re making a big step forward today - in that frontends are never going to get successfully censored, ever again.
Follow the instructions here:
https://liamzebedee.gitbook.io/dappnet/install/guide
Learn about the technical architecture:
https://liamzebedee.gitbook.io/dappnet/overview/technical-architecture
Deploy your own .eth websites:
https://liamzebedee.gitbook.io/dappnet/deploying-to-dappnet/overview
We have a Discord server.
https://discord.com/invite/mZUK6reQwT
Hack on the official client:
https://github.com/dappnetbby/dappnet
We are looking for Windows devs who can help make an official Ballmer port
Learn about the ideas we want to build out:
https://github.com/dappnetbby/dappnet-features/issues
There were a bunch of people who helped out, who I want to give thanks for:
@M2K for setting up our Discord.
The early beta testers in Discord.
@saeta-eth who ported the Chrome extension to Manifest v3, allowing us to publish to the Chrome web store.
@jorropo.eth, IPFS core dev, for helping solve the issues around IPFS resource consumption.
Gregoire le Jeune, Preston Byrne, Caitlin + the Paradigm Legal team for providing us with sage legal advice.
@0xAdam for connecting us with a top-notch video producer, and personally helping to fund the video himself.
Izzy and the Lido DAO, who gave us some small grants for our work on Dappnet and eth-verifiable-rpc.
Everyone who bought the original Dappnet: Intent To Build NFT, who helped fund this work.
