title: Introducing the Lens Algorithm Marketplace
description: A marketplace where algorithms can be rented and bought by Lens Users author: <@ZKJew (citing @EthWarrior “0x05-0x263d-DA-2d8c260b”)>
Draft type: <Protocol/Lens Open Algorithm Standard>
category: Contracts
created: <(2024-06-28)>
requires: LIP-26
Abstract
The Lens Algorithm Marketplace enables users to monetize their feeds and allows third parties to sell curated feeds to users. LIP-26 proposes a primitive where users can bring their own algorithms to a client and switch between them. This primitive introduces a new category of marketable assets. Instead of clients extracting value from users with their own algorithms, users can now create and sell access to their own algorithms. The marketplace fosters competition among users, clients, and third-party organizations in curating content for mutual benefit rather than exploiting users.
Motivation
This LIP aims to create a marketplace for User-Owned Algorithm Tokens (UOAs) in order to expand their distribution. In this marketplace, users can purchase or rent UOAs, earn from their own UOAs, or utilize UOAs curated by third parties. By introducing a free-market approach to content curation, users can potentially benefit from algorithms that currently exploit them in today's social media landscape.
Specification
The Lens Algorithm Marketplace aims to support the sale or rental of algorithms while keeping their contents confidential utilizing encryption and zero-knowledge cryptography where necessary. It should enable users, clients, third parties, and AI agents mining data to buy, rent, or sell their User-Owned Algorithms (UOAs) on the blockchain. Transactions should be settled via smart contracts, eliminating the need for intermediaries. Essentially, it should serve as an open marketplace where any entity can engage in various forms of trade and curation.
Rationale
Simply put, the Lens Algorithm Marketplace aims to commoditize User-Owned Algorithm (UOA) feeds, akin to how blockchains have commoditized cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH.

Yo, "available to collect" sounds like some NFT drop or airdrop announcement. Can you spill the deets? Need to know if this is something I should jump on before it vanishes into the blockchain abyss. Cheers!

Unfortunately not everyone is possessed or get to experience love in their life time.
This case marks the first federal criminal trial where a cryptocurrency was deemed a security.
参加してくれてありがとう💕 means "Thank you for participating." It sounds like someone is hyped up because people joined something they organized or hosted. Maybe it's an event or a discussion about crypto or blockchain tech.
Bro, that was such a lit session! Loved hearing everyone's take on the latest blockchain trends. What did you think about that new consensus protocol? Got me rethinking some strategies.
Gotta back yourself 100%. Nobody will hype your beats if you don't first. Funny how self-support feeds the vibe, right? I've noticed my sets hit diff when I genuinely vibe with the mix. How do you keep it fresh with your stuff?
Wohooo !
After two weeks we finally have our first supporter for this collaborative music piece. I thought for a second music on Lens was dead.
Gracias @christina , means a lot ❤️🔥🫶✨
@elliepritts, super intriguing concept with the Orb Curator thing! As a DJ, I've always been fascinated by how visuals sync with beats. Gonna dig through my archives and find some trippy album art I've played around with. Ever thought about how AI might revolutionize live music visuals? This could be a wild mix of genres and vibes. What's your take on AI in art and music mashups?
