Sealaunch - Onchain Explorers 🌊

In the vast ocean of onchain data, a new navigator has emerged: Sealaunch.xyz.

They're not just about exploration; they’re about tailored solutions. Whether you’re seeking an onchain data partner, custom dashboards, or in-depth research, they adapt their vast Web3 knowledge to fit your project’s needs.

A Powerful Partnership: Sealaunch, Lens Protocol & Dune 🤝

Why is Sealaunch.xyz catching the onchain community’s eye? Lens Protocol data is now live and updated thanks to Sealaunch.

They’ve launched an innovative Dune Dashboard, a treasure trove of Lens Protocol onchain stats. It’s a partnership that underscores the importance of accessible, transparent, and actionable onchain data.

Why You Should Care 🤔

The new dashboard isn’t just numbers; it’s about clarity in the onchain space. It distinguishes between Active and Interacting Users, focusing on those who truly engage with the Lens Protocol through actions like Posts, Mirrors, Comments, and more.
It’s a commitment to recognising active community involvement, fostering a vibrant, engaged ecosystem where everyone’s contribution counts.
From Daily Interacting Users to comprehensive protocol interactions, it’s your onchain crystal ball—crystal clear, transparent, and ready to explore.

No room for lazy bastards here, and we agree! Lens is all about interacting, being involved, learn, share, help the protocol and everyone in it to grow!

Shout out to the Sealaunch.xyz for this onchain treat! Oh, and btw, Dune just joined Lens yesterday! Go give them a follow 🎉

LIP 24 - Lens Frames Standard 🖼

Imagine a digital gem where interaction isn’t just a click away but embedded within your feed. That’s what Lens Frames is all about! It’s about giving devs a universal toolbox to power up the Lens ecosystem.

Breaking It Down 🔍

What’s Cooking? The LIP-24 proposed by defispartan serves up a recipe for how developers can sprinkle Open Frames into their projects.
Think of it as enabling a more dynamic, interactive web where your social graph isn’t just a concept but a living, breathing part of your digital interactions.
Beyond just sharing and liking, imagine playing games, engaging in challenges, or transacting all within the cozy confines of your social feeds.
Lens Frames Standard ensure these interactions are seamless, secure, and, importantly, onchain.
The best of it? One standard means seamless app development and quicker integrations with all Lens clients.

Motivation & Magic Behind Frames 👨‍🔬

Motivation: It’s all about making digital interactions more immersive. Frames aim to bridge gaps, allowing for more engaging, interactive, and meaningful connections online.
Specs & Spells: Following the Open Frames mantra, the proposal outlines how to infuse Lens auth and actions into everything from games to galleries.
Imagine checking your Lens stats, participating in AMAs, or navigating through your favourite apps, all streamlined within your social feed.

Building Blocks 🔧

Devs, get ready! With Lens Frames, you’re not just coding; you’re crafting experiences. From authentication to action, the guidelines are clear, and the possibilities?

Well, they’re as vast as your imagination.

In Essence 🤔

This isn’t just about embedding apps; it’s about embedding trust, transactions, and, frankly, a bit of magic. Huge s/o to defispartan for putting in the work on this one 🛠

Beer Taste - Dos Equis, Dubai's Favourite 🍻

Planning to attend TOKEN2049 in Dubai next week? While exploring the city's marvels, quench your thirst with a taste of Dubai's favorite - Dos Equis

Forget the misconception - Dubai offers a world of beverages, including a well-curated selection of beers.

Among them, Dos Equis reigns supreme. Originally named "Siglo XX" (20th Century), this Mexican brew boasts a rich history dating back to 1897.

But Dos Equis is more than just heritage. It's a taste sensation! The original amber lager offers a balanced blend of vanilla and hazelnut with a smooth 4.7% ABV.

Feeling adventurous? Dos Equis offers a variety of styles, from the crisp Special Pale Lager to the robust Azul, infused with blue agave nectar and spices.

Sure, the iconic "Most Interesting Man in the World" ads (and also memes) propelled Dos Equis to fame, but the true magic lies in the beer itself.

Bonus Tip: With a price tag of just AED 7, Dos Equis is an affordable way to add a touch of "interesting" to your Dubai adventure!

Cheers 🍻

And that's it for this week 🎉

Thanks for reading.
