Generating over 100 ETH in primary sales qualifies you to join the 100ETH Club, an exclusive group of innovative individuals who are constantly experimenting at the forefront of crypto.

Lens Frames launched on @Kaira, those with a 9,000+ Profile Quality Score on @lens achieve power badge status.

@0xpolygon announced a $250k competition for developers to build Farcaster Frames x Polygon

Jean - purveyor of $CHAOS - shared the variety of social dapp clients that support frames across both Lens and Farcaster. Congrats on hitting 5k followers on lens: very much deserved.

"I am the @princetiwari of @buttrfly; I collect almost any $CHAOS collectible you make 🔥👺The thing is, the real princetiwari has entered the competition, and right now I literally feel afraid of losing my dominance 😭"
@jeanayala

@0xmoe and the butterfly team introduced Canvas to be able to create polls from any app supporting composer actions; voting on any app client that supports frames!

Tipping in Buttrfly earns you 3x points!

@KiwiNews has emerged as a space to both solicit feedback from an engaged community of web3 OGs (on writing or product for instance) as well as earn ETH by contributing great resources or links that are upvoted (a la hacker news). Sending @macbudowski & @timdaub 1m $pointless each for diving in headfirst to build on lens as well as farcaster - they recently hosted a successful writing competition that gave out over $1k in prizes alongside t2world.

@Phaver $Social Snapshot Done & Checker Live - I got 600 $SOCIAL, what did you get? This one is highly anticipated with phaver one of the most popular clients to access the protocol with its own native community as well.

Polymarket is one of the largest dapps on polygon, responsible for circa 6% of transactions. As a progressive web application (PWA) it has soared to nearly $300M in volume with bets ranging from politics to crypto e.g. what the price of BTC will be by end of July 2024. Some of the key things they have gotten right:

  • It's useful & interesting, outside of using crypto rails
  • There's not much crypto specific language (e.g. .eth handle resolution)
  • High level animation, responsiveness, neat & simple UI/UX
  • Topical news events encourage virality & user recurrence (retention)

LIP-10 has been mooted as a means towards enabling an open communities standard, thanks for sharing @jamesfinnerty and a huge shoutout to @potential for actually starting the movement - sending you 1 million $pointless with gratitude.

$pointless has already proliferated across the ETH superchain, with alpha we've previously shared regarding a LayerZero powered crossover into Zksync. Sydneybro, dev/founder of the first memecoin on lens has taken things further with some $pointless experimentation on the motherchain: BTC.

Runes

A reminder also that the phase one boosted reward period for staking Bonsai/Matic LP positions is now over. You need to unstake your positions to claim your rewards, as well as needing to actually withdraw your LP position from the app for it to show up in uniswap again.

Build is back, for some reason the website is proving buggy for me to nominate but let me know if it works for you. This is a chance to nominate builders you feel are doing great work nudging the world onchain by creating awesome digital experiences. You can check your credentials here and vote at build.top - note they distributed 20m $BUILD in the 1st week to anyone that took the time to nominate.

Rewards

And finally, Stani as a note of thanks for building Lens and wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery. A note for us all to bear in mind to look after our health as a priority, the platform upon which we can make the most meaningful impacts.

Get well soon
  • @sitiocaos is a billingual phygital studio based in Bogota, Colombia, that's active in facilitating IRL gatherings as well as spanish oriented content including music and art - cultivating native artists. Co-founded by @mooncha (who will be getting the $pointless to distribute as appropriate).

Dev Vibes

$1m pointless each to @ialberquilla and @tereth who have been smashing it launching handlefinder.xyz & libree.xyz. Handlefinder is a stats tracker across the lensverse e.g. Orb Clubs; Trending People, dApp usage etc.

They are talented developers with a pipeline of product development that leverages the lens social graph e.g. Libree is a social gaming platform built on Lens looking for game developers to publish on top of the protocol.

@wagmi introduced an open source no code tool called "Rindexer Phantom Events" for blockchain developers that simplifies the process of tracking and organizing information from smart contracts. It allows devs to add custom "events" or markers to their blockchain programs without modifying the original code. This means developers can gather specific data or monitor particular actions on the blockchain more easily, whether for analytics, debugging, or enhancing functionality. Thank you ser, 1m $pointless to you!

Finally 1m $pointless to @tamrat for this udderly awesome viewer of our talent protocol credentials: wicked design and visualisation.

1m $pointless to purrcat who recently joined us and creates the most zany wacky visuals you've come across. Active in /tiktoktrends as well as just generally bringing dope energy - thanks for keeping us apprised of what is cooking in the seed club calls. More specifics each week that are exciting would be amazing!

And finally, saving the best till last, 2m $pointless to @mycaelleam for updating the @pointless leaderboard with all the recipients from our last several issues! Incredible to have such a stacked list of community members who are onchain, active and engaged on lens. Check your place here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dkPgc5QrMNhTByv5MCKZqsHKtw1yFodj2YsEakGHTn0/edit?usp=sharing

The easiest way to join their ranks is to provide LP with $pointless / any other token and tag me in discord; automatic airdrop in the next issue!

That's all folks.
