Today marks our 1 Year Anniversary of making friends onchain 🎂!

Thank you to everyone who has made the first year of Lens Protocol so special and groundbreaking. Lens has brought together builders, creators, communities, and friends, all while in beta.

There's so much planned for the second year ahead, and we can't wait to continue to grow with all of you.

Who did you become frens with on Lens?

Golden Hour (lyric video)

“Golden Hour”, the first single from my forthcoming EP “Play This At Sunset” is now live on @decentxyz.lens (subscribe to collect)

If you’ve been on the same planet as I have, then I’m certain that times have been rough for you as well in some way.

I hope that this song can serve as encouragement for us both, to pull ourselves up.

I released this song as a crowd fund going to help me make it to my artist residency at @creatorcabins.lens and the support has been amazing.

I am going to make good on all of the support and love I’ve been shown by going as hard as possible starting with pushing this song and message to as many people as I can.

Rafa is a web3 creator, writer, and operations specialist. Crafting lore and exploring web3 collectives, combining org design theory with community building. Most recently he worked at Mirror as their Community and Growth Lead.

He's the founder of Folklore, a community exploring long-form articles related to belonging, lorecraft, human relationships, and digital realms.

Soon after the launch of UFO in September, Rafa has been in the loop as a creative thinker. Someone to jam with about ideas on strategy and community formation as we experiment. He helped with the launch of the UFO Genesis Pass with a subscribe to mint on Mirror in November which had 7800+ NFT mints in 3 days.

In this episode, we go right into these topics of content, media and internet communities. About the web3 creator playbook and NFTs as unlocks, including the ability to earn ownership in protocols and DAOs through participation rather than only financial means.
