@karoglazerImmersive Vocal Artist 💥#LadyDynamite Powerhouse voice. Composer. You can put 20 microphones around me. Still one voice. My voice.

📀 lfg! the sONgCHAIN is here: @orb community vinylit’s time to stop working in silos and start building as a tribe . we are launching the sONgCHAIN, a @orb collaborative experiment where we build one track, layer by layer, to be pressed onto a physical community vinyl.
this journey starts with a 46-second vocal "00_seed" by @karoglazer . now, the community decides who adds the first layer of magic.🎨 the mission
we are creating a track together . one artist adds one element - a bass line, a synth, or a vocal etc. - then passes the torch . no one knows the final result, and that is the beauty of the process.⚖️ the first vote
who will be the first to join the chain? the winner of this poll will receive the high-quality wav file and begin their 72-hour production window.vote for: @fivegreencircle @sttsm @fabs27 @sandrob3 or @ph0enixd0wn - choos our first fighter!the rules are simple:
1. check the full technical & artistic guide here: https://fountain.ink/p/0xmrvinyl/songchain-orb-community-vinyl-the-collaborative-chain
2. the chosen artist confirms they’ve read the specs.
3. keep the track between 2:30 and 2:45 minutes for maximum vinyl quality.
🤝 the partners
we aren't doing this alone. we’ve teamed up with the best to ensure this sounds legendary:
@redproducers ( @michael_rosa_rosicki ) – handling the analog stem mastering and final mix,
@polvinyl ( @0xmrvinyl )– taking our digital creation into the physical world through custom vinyl pressing.the track grows through us. let’s make history. 🚀

@masknetwork x @lens roadmap
21/02/2026(I used Plaud Note Pro)Meeting Notes· Product transition status and backgroundo Ownership and responsibilities for Lens have largely transitioned (~99.9% complete), with remaining legacy issues tied to legal/shareholder matters and domain-related storage incidents.o Mutual agreements with partners are in place (e.g., Area Lab grant/fee waivers for “last chain,” same terms as earlier PR).o A lab attack occurred around last October; competition started 5 months ago. Ongoing efforts are dedicated to resolving legacy tech and partner-related items.· Roadmap priorities: usability fixes, storage, and wallet integrationo Immediate fixes:§ Extend login session beyond the current 7-day limit to months or a year.§ Address storage limits, optimize large multimedia uploads, and engage new storage partners (centralized and decentralized) to lower costs and improve efficiency.o Wallet integration:§ Use existing crypto wallets as login gateways; avoid proliferation of new private keys.§ Improve UX and support across wallets (e.g., Rainbow, OKX, exchange-backed wallets); clarify that assets may remain on L1/exchanges while the chain key is primarily for login.§ Support Social Graph and DIDs; enable sending to handles, mutual connection insights, and block awareness.§ Provide SDKs for multi-DID support (Mask’s API.w2.bio; compatibility with Lens, Farcaster, etc.) and encourage wallets to integrate multiple decentralized social ecosystems.o Growth phase (post-fixes):§ Pursue use cases like enhanced comment sections (e.g., Polymarket) and revive less active users.§ Partner with apps (Warp, Firefly, WorkCoin with chat → potential posting) and promote cross-client collaboration.§ Work step-by-step: fix infra, optimize clients, educate partners on social graph core.o Timeline: Aim to address priorities within 6–9 months.· Protocol stance and product primitiveso No protocol or smart contract changes planned; protocol remains suitably permissionless.o Feature needs will be implemented via custom actions and backend/lens-level changes.o Avoid migrations; Lens chain is Validium, and proposals like ZK-SYNC primitives requiring chain updates are not preferred now. Focus on multi-chain EVM alignment.· Mini apps and cross-app logino Mini apps are coming to Orb with shared QR login across Lens apps, reducing repeated wallet connections; SDK testing is underway (email client example).o Intention to adopt an open, universal mini-app approach aligned with webview UX (learning from WhatsApp-style URL-to-app experiences); criticism of non-open “Caster” mini-apps.o Related ecosystem context includes Farcaster Frames and David Brown’s Open Frame/XAM Common Protocol.· Lists, playlists, and namespaceso Support for on-chain list functionality (decentralized music/video playlists in Grove) can be implemented via simple smart contracts wrapped as “open action” post actions.o Move towards proper group/club namespaces like @group/name; Orb has a namespace contract that doesn’t require a target account. Plan to provide shared namespace APIs and integration.· Direct messaging (DM) and chat featureso Collaboration with Orb (DMs exist); open to integrating DMs across clients with potential XMTP alignment.o Open technical questions: push notifications and decentralized read receipts (“seen” state). DMs remain core; a proposal is planned.· Private posts, encryption, and paymentso Decentralized encryption for private posts is feasible; the priority is frictionless cross-chain one-click payment (major EVMs, possibly Solana) to make gated content meaningful.o Current Lens client usability issues (wallet connection, token bridging) necessitate improved cross-chain payment support.· Content warnings and adult content handlingo Strengthen content warning mechanisms across clients; may evolve to app or protocol-level guidance.o DMCA handling: prefer labeling and frontend selective display/hiding, preserving on-chain transparency; disputed content can be directed to open-source clients when required.· Polymarket and client integrationso Firefly integrates Polymarket; wallets may add similar features. Webview-based integrations are straightforward, enabling attachment to Lens accounts and use via Orb.· Lens API open sourcing and component licensingo Backend is a single repo with significant off-chain components; first move more on-chain or make reproducible, then consider open sourcing.o Orb backend likely open source; frontend not planned (duplication concerns, mobile complexity). Firefly’s web-related stack (HTML/JS) is more likely to be open-sourced than mobile-specific parts.o Lens v3 contracts are currently “unlicensed”; plan to revisit licensing (e.g., MIT or GPL) after internal discussions.o Commitment to open source parts helpful to the community and support with implementation Q&A.· Build on Lens versus forking; governance and LIPso Encourage building on Lens rather than forking; collaborate and share protocol evolution.o Governance token is possible but not meaningful now; prefer non-speculative governance (SBTs, handle-based weight, behavior-based voting).o Clarify protocol vs app boundaries; adopt compatible external solutions when sensible (e.g., XMTP for DMs).o “Sign-in with Lens” should avoid risky wallet interactions for simple posting; welcome “do-not-build” proposals when partners excel.· Grove: private files and large mediao Clients can encrypt private file uploads today. Grove (IPFS wrapper) has a 125 MB limit; larger files and streaming (no transcoding) are challenges.o Plan to work with ecosystem partners on large files and streaming improvements; explore client-side streaming enhancements.· Token rewards contract access; rewards and incentiveso Request to open public access to token rewards contract is under consideration; governance and privacy implications require discussion.o Past cash/points rewards attracted professional “farmers”; pivot to real-world coupon incentives (e.g., dining, coffee, gaming) targeted to genuine users, citing successful Haidilao partnership (~100,000 SGD coupons, verifiable engagement).· ML model updateso Plan to refresh and streamline ML model hosting and backend integration; leverage Web3 bio/history data. Model hasn’t been updated in over a year.· Onboarding content creators and addressing monetization realitieso Creators resist crypto payments and worry about piracy/DMCA; implement frontend verification, selective display/hiding, and transparent labeling instead of takedowns.o Meme/content coin models are inadequate for serious creators; improve real-world monetization, including payments and pay-to-unlock DMs.o Build genuine relationships with adult creators and journalists; learn from BlueSky’s reputation systems, domain verification, and common payment/communication tools (Substack, Signal).· Why builders and users should return to Lens nowo Lower gas costs and scalable data storage (e.g., L1 blobs) make Lens more attractive than 2022-era constraints on Polygon.o Centralized platforms have become more closed/expensive (API/agent posting costs), strengthening the case for decentralized social.o Plan to let users project/mirror social graphs (e.g., Twitter follows) onto Lens via GDPR-compliant JSON writes.o Lens can continue gas sponsorship via API with abuse safeguards; focus on clearer tooling and documentation for developers and AI builders.· Desired applications and experimentso Email-related experiments (many users rely on AI-assisted email).o Pay-to-unlock plus creator economy plus DM flows enabling monetized direct messaging with strong UX.o Use Lens social graph verification for finance/trading/copy-trading apps.Next Arrangements☐ Extend login session duration beyond 7 days.☐ Optimize storage limits and multimedia handling; finalize partnerships with storage providers (centralized and decentralized).☐ Improve wallet support and UI/UX across key wallets (e.g., Rainbow, OKX, exchange-backed wallets); communicate wallet integration philosophy and provide SDKs for multi-DID support.☐ Enhance Social Graph and DID features (send to handle, mutual friend insights, block awareness).☐ Coordinate with app partners (Warp, Firefly, WorkCoin) for feature optimizations, posting, and cross-client feature sharing.☐ Develop improved comment sections (e.g., for Polymarket) and encourage webview integration across clients.☐ Draft proposal for universal, open mini-app integration aligned with webview UX; leverage QR login sharing.☐ Outline smart contract and “open action” approach for on-chain playlists/lists in Grove.☐ Prepare a DM integration plan covering push notifications and decentralized “seen” states; evaluate XMTP alignment.☐ Define cross-chain, one-click payment flow for gated/private posts across EVM (and possibly Solana).☐ Strengthen content warning standards and propose protocol-level guidance; implement DMCA verification and selective display/hiding.☐ Document and share group namespace API and contract details.☐ Engage ecosystem partners for large media handling and streaming (transcoding) for Grove; improve client-side streaming.☐ Review and decide on a license for Lens v3 contracts (e.g., MIT or GPL); identify which Orb/Firefly web components to open source and publish repositories.☐ Provide a public guide/FAQ for developers on open-sourced parts and contribution paths.☐ Plan ML model refresh and integration into backend ecosystem.☐ Assess feasibility and governance implications of opening token rewards contract access.☐ Design and pilot coupon-based reward programs targeting authentic users.☐ Develop and document social graph projection/mirroring from Twitter to Lens (GDPR-compliant).☐ Maintain gas sponsorship via Lens API with abuse monitoring; improve developer documentation and simplify key management/onboarding flows.☐ Define and implement labeling mechanisms to support AI-only social experiments on Lens.☐ Establish outreach plan to engage professional content creators (journalists, adult creators) for onboarding feedback.AI SuggestionsAI Suggestions1.
