If we want to change culture, we need to figure out the means to do it... what were building with IRL is going to do that. Everything that's happened w/ Refraction and @irl_energy so far is leading there... Its been a very hard time for a lot of people, its time to shift that.

1,088 transactions at a club night in toronto. 86% of the room paid for their drinks in $CADD ✨ no app, no seed phrase, nobody at the bar explaining anything.. we're taking this across canada with @TetraDigitalGrp, club night by club night xitter.cf/irl_energy/status/2095…
For one night at Rhythm, we turned a stablecoin into the currency of the room. We proved stablecoins can move from wallets into everyday culture, using IRL check-ins powered by @privy_io embedded wallets, and paid for drinks using @TetraDigitalGrp $CADD stablecoins running on @tempo 86% of everyone who checked in bought a drink with it. case study ↓

If you want to change culture you need to actually figure out how that can happen, where we have the means to do it...

🫡🫡 Lens stands for decentralization and the cypherpunk spirit at the heart of blockchain/crypto. Crypto shouldn’t be just financial products — it should be part of everyday life, in every post, every interaction. Own your post - and make SocialFi great again. Honored to carry the torch forward. We’ll keep building decentralized social until it becomes part of everyone’s daily life. 🚀
Over the years, we have built some of the most important onchain financial primitives. We later expanded that ambition to social primitives that users truly own. We built the Lens Protocol and its underlying onchain rails, including state-of-the-art decentralized data storage for content, governed by smart contracts. Our goal was to create neutral social infrastructure that developers could rely on to build consumer-grade applications capable of reaching mainstream users. Today, stewardship of Lens transitions to @masknetwork, builders of Orb, and a team focused on advancing Lens at the application layer. Lens social primitives will always remain open source and will forever serve as infrastructure for anyone building social applications on decentralized rails. Our team will continue as technical advisors, while we continue to innovate on what has always been our core expertise: DeFi.
