Meet our April Grantees 👻

We're thrilled to welcome 7️⃣ innovative projects to the Aave Grants fam.

Want to learn more? Keep reading for a spotlight on each team and how they’re contributing to @aaveaave.lens & @gho.lens. Join us... ⬇️

1️⃣ Risk Radar for GHO by Into the Block

Into the Block's Risk Radar will empower Aave and GHO users to make informed decisions about the protocol and their positions. The dashboard will include custom-made risk indicators for GHO and be freely accessible.

2️⃣ Block Analitica

Block Analitica will build upon their popular and high quality Aave Risk Dashboards by adding support for GHO. The new features will help users understand the stability and solvency of GHO including user, borrower and liquidation metrics.

3️⃣ Awesome Aave

Awesome Aave will be the ultimate platform for discovering and exploring the most exciting projects in the Aave ecosystem. The one-stop shop will highlight different projects built on top of Aave including previous grant recipients.

4️⃣ Cryptografiq

Cryptografiq will enable users to automatically lend tokens received from various streaming protocol, like Sablier or Llamapay, without having to claim them. This will allow tokens to earn yield for users on Aave, rather than sitting dormant.

5️⃣ Strateg Protocol

@strateg.lens is building an omnichain social yield infrastructure, allowing the creation of complex yield strategies without any lines of code, which users can share with their community and be paid for. Strateg will integrate Aave so strategists can use Aave to create strategies (including automated loan management) and users can invest in strategies that leverage Aave without having to worry about the chain or the starting token.

s/o @jeanbrasse.lens & @manuredpills.lens

6️⃣ Senate

Senate is a governance facilitation tool that reduces the friction of participating in governance. First outlined in a TEMP-CHECK, they will build tailored features for Aave DAO starting with email notifications for governance activity.

7️⃣ Aave Inspires Ladies in Blockchain by Ladies Network for Economic Freedom

Aave Inspires Ladies in Blockchain is a conference in Ghana that will educate around 50 women on blockchain and the Aave protocol. The event will promote entrepreneurship and create awareness of Aave.

Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.

Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.

Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.

Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.

The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.

Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.

We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.

Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.

Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.

We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

We are excited to announce that @lenster.lens has integrated with @livepeer.lens for video transcoding and faster delivery. Livepeer is a decentralized video infrastructure that enables high-quality video processing and delivery at scale 🚀

With Livepeer, we can now offer our users a more reliable and efficient video transcoding solution and faster delivery to the viewers. This means your videos will load faster and play more smoothly, even with slower internet connections.

Also, we now have an enhanced video uploader where you can choose your desired thumbnail 🖼️ or upload your own 💃

We also want to give a special shoutout to @sasicodes.lens for his invaluable help with the integration 🙏
