こんにちは @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵

@aavegrants.lens will have 3 main prizes for GHO and Aave with $10k up for grabs!

🥇 1st $5k

🥈 2nd $3k

🥉 3rd $2k

For those taking part in the hackathon here are some ideas to get those creative chops going! 👻

@gho.lens is designed for internet people.

With that in mind, we'd love to see you build utility around the future of payments on the web.

• You could create an app or plugin to pay with GHO anywhere.

• Imagine using GHO to buy your favorite beverage.

• Create a convenient payment platform with GHO where you can enjoy fast and secure transfers with just a few clicks. Say goodbye to time-consuming payments!

• Build a tool that uses Account Abstraction with GHO to allow users to pay gas fees with GHO, and has rebates. E.g., if the gas used is more than GHO paid, users can claim a rebate or pay it forward.

• Construct new DeFi yield strategies and opportunities for GHO and the entire DeFi community.

• Create a chargeback (direct debit) network for GHO where any user can charge an account with a set amount of GHO. GHO would then be transferred immediately but not unlocked until a set period of time passes. During this time, anyone can dispute the function if they have a balance

This is our first hackathon for GHO and we can't wait to see what you build this week.

We also want to see what devs can do with the power of Aave V3, our most significant upgrade of the Aave Protocol.

• You could build an Aave Forex tool where you can short assets. Enhance the ability of users to access forex liquidity by using one or all of eMode, flash loans, and other DeFi integrations such as @curvefinance.lens.

• Create a ChatGPT-powered risk manager for Aave utilizing OpenAI plugins to create an innovative experience for DeFi users with this leading-edge technology.

• Create a new debt swap feature. Right now you can swap your collateral from one asset to another but imagine if you built a feature for swapping debt from one asset to another.

• Utilize ZK proofs for critical vulnerabilities while not disclosing the vulnerability, i.e. prove there’s a vulnerability to the DAO so they can vote on it informed but not actually say what the vulnerability is.

• Imagine a Health Factor simulator UI component that displays a price slider per each collateral and borrowed asset, so you can simulate prices and see how your Health Factor changes under those conditions. Allowing you to take informed decisions to mitigate liquidation risks.

Make sure to catch @jessglover.lens and @miguelmtz.lens on April 14th at 7 PM JST in the Toranomon Hills Forum, 5th Floor | Workshop Room 1, for a GHO Hackathon Workshop.

These are just a few ideas to get you started on your hackathon project. Reach out to @nader.lens and @jessglover.lens for any questions on the ground in Tokyo.

おはよう @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵

The Lens team is on the ground and we're so excited to bring the social layer of web3 to Japan.

We have $20k in prizes for the hackathon!

🥇 1st $5k

🥈 2nd $3k

🥉 3rd $2k

🎖️ 10 best Lens Integrations for nullk each

Lens is web3 native meaning it’s simple to build native payment features directly into your app. Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries, and in a permissionless way. Premium content, token-gated rewards, tipping, crowdfunding, subscription services, referral, and affiliate programs are just a handful of the countless types of integrations you can build with Lens.

Looking for some inspiration?

• We're still in the early innings of AI and ML and want to see more devs utilizing the latest innovations from OpenAI, Replicate, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Dust just to name a few. Imagine the possibilities when web3 social intersects with AI/ML 🤯

• You could use AI/ML to analyze a user’s feed over the course of a few days and condense it into a single view so they can visit less often and still be up to date with what’s the latest and greatest.

• Or create a social learning platform that uses AI to create personalized learning paths for users. It could assess users' knowledge levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and provide real-time feedback and guidance.

• You could use Lens profiles specifically for your gaming identity. Imagine your in-game items and high scores attached to your Lens profile and you curate a Lens leaderboard for the community.

• Bust a move! Build an app that lets users participate in virtual dance-off challenges. Users can record and upload their dances, challenge friends or random users, and compete for the elusive best dancer on Lens title 💃🕺

• Build a community app for @galverse.lens on Lens that utilizes the Splits for Collects feature (docs.lens.xyz/docs/create-post-typed-data#multirecipientfeecollectmodule)) and you'll help with the development of the anime, character design, story, and more.

• Imagine using the Collect module for more exclusive content such as event ticketing.

• How about building a governance forum specifically for Lens users? gm DAOs 🤔

• Calling all pet lovers out there. Create a social platform where users can showcase their pets' talents, tricks, and general awesomeness. Users can upload videos of their pets and participate in virtual talent shows, with categories like "Best Trick," and "Funniest Moment"

• Want to bridge that gap from web2 social to web3? Build a site that shows you the most followed people that have used a site (maybe the 🐦 app) or help users connect their web2 account and generate a ZKP for mapping.

• Or a Lens creator dashboard for tracking post analytics (engagement, collects, revenue, etc) and helping you find your 1000 true fans.

• Maybe you find yourself collecting every post from one of the 100k profiles already on Lens. Create a module to “subscribe” to someone and automatically collect everything the post within certain parameters.
