Notes

Action Items

• Vaibhav to update the schema and do a SQL implementation of the new schema proposed
• Consider only including posts from certain apps based on App ID if there are scale issues.
• Vaibhav to put PRs out for five days and self merge if marked as a group
• Kevin to think through and map out how strategies specify their data requirements and how those get combined for the node's requirements.
• Dan to provide a written update and video to unlock the second $5,000 grant money from Lens with the deadline around the 20th May
• Marcus suggested spinning up a thread on Lens and Twitter to raise awareness for GitCoin and tag relevant people
• Dan to continue discussing and shaping up a round focused on music and culture
• Dan suggested the Explorer idea for the ENS grants round and assess capacity for it.
• Dan to spin up a telegram group for those interested in the music track for Devconnect.

Longform (unedited)

Vaibhav has provided an update on the Open 2PS, which involves updating the schema and doing a SQL implementation of the new schema proposed. He has also completed a rough implementation of lens, but found a problem where he needs to listen for two events instead of just the post-created event.

The group discussed the possibility of non-collectible posts and whether they go through a different flow, but it was not clear. However, from a user perspective, making a post collectible or not is an extra step rather than a completely different thing. Meanwhile, the group noted that lens is different from sound, which has been the core of Vaibhav's thinking.

The team discussed the process of downloading metadata for audio posts on the lens network and potential solutions for scalability issues, including only including posts from certain apps or using app IDs to filter posts.

The team also discussed the cost of running nodes for acquiring data and the potential divergence between Ethereum and Lens in the NFT space. They speculated that cross-chain infrastructure, such as that provided by the Nume network, will become increasingly important for small-value NFT activity in the future.

The team discussed the development process for their project, including the need for reviews and third-party input. They also discussed potential challenges with data requirements and network communication.

They also discussed the progress of their fundraising campaign on Gitcoin and the importance of raising awareness through social media platforms like Lens and Twitter.

The group discusses the progress made in the Ethereum ecosystem, specifically the high gas fees, and the potential for moving towards L2 for scaling benefits. They also discuss the potential for creating community-led rounds focused on specific niches, such as music and culture, using the tools provided by get coin.

The group discusses recent changes in the process for grants in the ecosystem, including a shift to rolling basis grants. They mention the idea of building an ENS explorer as a potential grant project, but note that it will depend on capacity and priorities.

The group discusses the importance of making progress on the base level of the network, such as allowing people to run their own nodes, rather than solely focusing on fundraising from different sources. They also express interest in the potential for identity layer-related projects, exploring ways to create organic discovery and exploration through a web of delegated trust.

The group discusses the upcoming Deathcon in Istanbul, and Dan suggests the idea of spinning up a music track for the event in order to position their project with a music culture focus. Kevin suggests connecting with Kiro Mahari, an event planner with experience in music technology, for assistance. Telegram group is planned to be created for people interested in helping.
