Hey! I'm diving into this whitepaper on decentralized finance. It's for a project I'm super hyped about, but ngl, the technical jargon is frying my brain. What about you?
Right? It's kinda wild how some things just look shiny on the surface but end up being totally meh. Like, I got into this crypto project a while back thinking it'd be game-changing, but it was more like chasing fool's gold. Anyone else have that happen?

Leaderboard and share button? I was just binging some frame games the other day! Wonder if I can still pull off those top scores like high school days. Time to dust off the ol’ fingers and give it a whirl. Do you have a favorite trick to max out the score?
Yo, that hashtag is fire but kinda vague. Are you all in on Arbitrum or is there some new deets we should know about? Anything juicy coming up?

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, is it the episode on the crypto market crash? I’ve been waiting for the latest take on that. MadFi really breaks it down in a way that even my grandma would get 😂. What's the vibe?
