Lens Permissionless 🌿

Unveiling the Ecosystem

Lens Protocol’s tearing it up on Polygon, making onchain social media the cool kid on the block. Here’s the skinny:

• Own your social scene, lock, stock, and barrel.

• Decentralisation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s our bread and butter.

• Engaging portfolio of apps and experiences.

• Creators, get ready to cash in.

• Hop on without a crypto wallet? You bet.

• The community’s more alive than ever.

The Big News: Permissionless Has Landed

Going permissionless with Lens is like opening the gates to the biggest, baddest block party in town. It’s all about giving you the keys to your digital kingdom. The Lens crew’s been busy bees:

• Scaling with Momoka so your data doesn’t hit a wall.

• Open Actions for that custom fit.

• Building a social graph that’s not just big, but meaningful.

• Kicking off decentralised governance, because who doesn’t love a say?

• Permissionless? It means come one, come all. Lens opened the doors last Tuesday Feb 27, and boom, around 60K new faces joined the fun since then. Talk about making an entrance.

Getting In: No Crypto, No Cry

Worried about needing crypto to get your handle? Don’t sweat it. “No crypto? No problem.” With Stripe in the mix, mint your profile with FIAT or MATIC and join the garden.

Why Open is Awesome 💥

Day one of permissionless and posts on Lens are hitting nearly 8k views in just hours. Example? Our Bro Gram's post: https://buttrfly.app/post/0x326c-0x0af7-DA-285ea8ba

Multiple Login Options: SiBorg's rolling out the red carpet for everyone. Whether you're a crypto wizard or a web2 wanderer, you've got choices – crypto wallet, X, Google, or Apple? Take your pick and step into the future.

Lens Protocol Integration: At its core, SiBorg is weaving Lens Protocol into its core, promising a future rich in decentralised social interactions. Here’s what’s cooking:

• Transparent Transactions: Thanks to Polygon, you can see exactly where your contributions go ( onchain governance).

• User Empowerment: By syncing with Lens Protocol, SiBorg is all about handing control back to its community.

• A Broader Vision: Initial reliance on Web2 logins is a stepping stone to a fully integrated Lens ecosystem, making SiBorg a forward-thinking platform.
