Isn't it just like a poker game?

The loudest at the table are often the ones with the weakest hands, putting on a show to distract from what they're lacking. But it's the ones who stay quiet, who focus on the play rather than talking, that are holding the winning cards.

It's funny how that plays out in real life too. Some people are all about the spotlight, claiming they've built empires, hustling hard, trying to hide their weak hands.

Behind the scenes - That's where the true magic happens, where the groundwork is laid by those who don't need to shout about their hustle because their work speaks for itself.

Real success isn't about being seen; it's about what you build when nobody's watching. It's not about the noise; it's about the substance—and that doesn't need any announcement.

Hi Lens Frens, wanted to share with you all something my partner JC and I have been working on the last few months - **builda.dev** ✨

JC and I previously met and collaborated on ArchiveNode.io's frontend (no longer running), which served free node access to 1000+ Ethereum developers over several years.

One day, we met up for coffee in Paris where JC asked me for my thoughts on two project ideas. While both were great, Builda stood out as something that may seem "simple" to your average DeFi degen, but yet provides such a needed purpose:

A simple way to get eyes on your project(s) without needing influencers, a token, or airdrop rumors.

We wanted a Web3 focused platform, that doesn't focus mostly on prices/investing, but the people breaking ground in the industry: Builders 🚧

Builda allows project creators or team members to submit their project to be spotlighted in the weekly batch, which can then be shared or upvoted ⬆️ by users!

We also think "alpha" should be easily accessible to all, which is why "advocates" (Builda community members who aren't builders or working on a project), can also submit a project they find interesting or want to spotlight, even if they don't own it!

We've got a lot of fresh ideas we can't wait to explore as Builda grows into something much bigger than it is today, and super excited to be sharing it with everyone here on Lens! 💕

Let us know what you think!

Bring Your Whole Self to the Party with Disco.xyz

gm lens fam 🪩 Disco is your identity for the Metaverse. At Disco, we believe you are the multifaceted center of the party, and so you should be able to own, control, and reflect data about yourself to the world however you choose.

Think of us as your data backpack 🎒, where you can stash your private data in a way that’s owned and controlled by you. Creating your data backpack is similar to building an online profile, with components you can take with you across sites.

Our identities are complex and ever-evolving, and so too should the way we reflect the parts about ourselves in our daily interactions–online and IRL, onchain and offchain. That commitment to expression, fun, and social interaction is what brings us to Lens!

We are here to make sure that you never fill out a form again, that you never go to a concert of your favorite artist without receiving the VIP treatment that you've earned at home, that you never show up to a conference and have to wait in line.

You should be able to control the parts of yourself– or the things you do online– by choosing what you share publicly or what you keep in your backpack for your eyes only.

We’re excited to be here and can’t wait for the Lens community to join us on the dancefloor! Get DIDdy w/ it, collect this post, and claim your data backpack at app.disco.xyz/

🏆 Anyone who collects this post by 6/9 will receive a GM credential in their backpacks! 🏆 #genesispost
