I have mixed feelings about Phaver. I really like the app, the interface is nice, it’s quite intuitive. Feels Web2-ish really, which is a compliment. But the quality of content on here absolutely appalling. People just posting messages with no value, which ultimately is the most important thing for a social platform.
Curious to hear other people’s thoughts on this. Maybe it’s just my feed, I hope:)
Just landed here at Phaver 1 minute ago, already quite impressed with how it looks and works. Setting up the account takes some work, but once your here it works pretty smooth. Great work Lens and Phaver! Decentralised Social is closer than I thought.
Unlocking Privacy for DeFi with Joe Andrews
Joe Andrews is the CoFounder of Aztec Protocol, developing a next-generation encrypted blockchain secured by Ethereum.
In this episode, Joe discusses with me the long awaited development of technology to enable us to transact privately in DeFi, while inheriting the security of the Ethereum blockchain. We talk about why privacy is a right, how Aztec has launched their Aztec Connect SDK to build seamless integrations with DeFi protocols, and the benefits of private payments and DeFi transactions using their flagship product, zk.money.

Thoughts on my first 15 minutes on Lenster
The user experience is not great to be honest. I have been clicking all over the place just to see what happens. Better onboarding is definitely required. After 15 minutes I still don't really know all the things I can do on the platform.
I do like the snappiness of it, it's quite responsive.
I can vaguely see where it's headed, but it needs to be much more refined in order to not only onboard but retain people.
