In the discussion of distribution of Lens handles there are two big camps of thinking, “Do we allow minting of permanent or rentable profiles?” It has become quite obvious that there are serious trade-offs with each one, permanent profiles lend risk to hoarding, spam, and bots at any price that would be reasonable for the average user to pay. Rent-based lens profiles come with the risk of a severe disincentive to new users. Here's my new suggestion for the feature: I call this method "Th...

“What happened?” Wav3s, an app on Lens protocol, has launched a feature that allows users to create contracts to pay for content to be mirrored. The feature allows for customization of payment to creators, the number of people who can be paid to post, and the number of followers required. However, these are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to feature specifications and when it comes to creating post bounties for creators. Here are just some examples of specifications that could be ad...

The functionality of self curated feeds by creators is an integral part to empowering creators in Lens Protocol. It would be a pretty fair statement to say the goal of Lens protocol is to empower creators as much as possible which is why customizable curation of feed structure is an important piece of the necessary functionality. If you ever listen to the best creators in the web2 space you’ll see that each one has a particular knack for hacking the algorithm. In the web3 space, the equivalen...

Social media can be a powerful tool, but it can also have a damaging impact on our mental health and self-esteem. Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting us with people and information like never before. While it has numerous benefits, such as promoting self-expression, socialization, and access to information, it also has its drawbacks, particularly concerning mental health. The psychological effects of social comparison, in particular, are important to unders...

There's a notion in the Lens community that governance should not be a token that can be bought and sold, but rather one that should be earned by participating in the protocol. This leads us to the path of a Soul Based Token (SBT), which is a token that cannot be sent from the minting address. However, there is a problem with this model. Early users of the protocol will always have power over latter users. So, what is the solution? First, let’s look at the objective of governing the prot...

Pros: Provides a variety of accessible options for users with differing amounts of freedom and economic support for the infrastructure. Provides an easy way to onboard users who do not care about social graphs but care about not getting their data farmed and having social graph sovereignty amongst a plethora of apps. Incentivizes users financially to use low tier lens profiles before ascending by providing a post-to-earn model. Provides a world-class UX for any normie and caters to a fully so...

The new app on Lens Wav3s has introduced an amazing slew of potential and realized logic to combat malevolent bots and increase distribution of content in a genuine manner. In my opinion, Wav3s is a better way to combat malicious bots on Lens because it combats the bots by instantiating proof of humanity like logic and aligned incentives, while the theoretical implementation of Cultivator DAO will likely rely on some sort of program that censors users from feeds in an opt-in manner. To be fai...

Quick hitting, short form analysis on the short term effects of my wav3s experiment: Funds earned: roughly 3 WMATIC Funds put up for bounties: roughly 18 WMATIC Funds from bounties paid out: roughly 2.3 WMATC Amount of engagement for me has risen about 4000% in total there have been 1800 engagements with my post. Collects of my posts is up from a total of 2 this month to 64. The amount of followers I’ve gained is 29 (about a 20% increase) Comparing the difference between my best amount of eng...

What is tiered profile system? Tiered profile system is the idea that there is no one best distribution method, instead there should be a variety of accessible options that have differing amounts of freedom, proof of humanity, and disincentivizing bots at higher tiers. The tiered Lens profile distribution method also is designed to provide the grounds for a UX that can be globally adopted by a large population. The tiered profile system states that there should be a free Lens Profile, a rente...

A cumulation for my suggests to upgrade the Lens protocol: An important feature to increase scarcity within the Lens ecosystem could be allowing creators to specify the blocks in which their posts can be collected. This functionality would have several benefits. For one, it would allow creators to specify a limited window in which their posts can be collected, creating inherent scarcity. Additionally, it would allow creators to specify a specific, potentially scarce block for collection, such...

Proving you're human could be extremely rewarding, basing human verification on the idea of earnable proof of humanity points could revolutionize Lens Protocol. These innovative points allow you to earn credit for completing tasks attesting that you are more likely real person, and could potentially unlock a variety of benefits in the online world. In this article, you will discover how proof of humanity points can change the way we think about online security and verification, and how t...
