This week's edition is brought to you by SiBorg 🎙
SiBorg is creating a mobile app that repurposes Twitter Spaces for post-live access via a Spotify-like interface. SiBorg aims to create a creator-owned platform leveraging Web3 for enhanced user engagement, monetization, and curation. Backed by @swissborg.
SiBorg Ads 🔥
SiBorg has unveiled an innovative solution called SiBorg Ads, poised to revolutionize advertising within the SiBorg App through blockchain technology. This new feature introduces tokenized ad spaces, granting direct ownership and trading capabilities over digital parcels within the application.
What's Going On 👀
Recently launched, SiBorg Ads marks a significant milestone with the start of its pre-sale on Tuesday, June 25th. This initiative offers 100 premium ad spaces up for grabs, each intricately linked to specific search tickers utilized within the SiBorg app.
Background 🤓
An ad space in the SiBorg app represents a digital parcel associated with a search ticker. Owners of these spaces can propose and display tailored advertisements whenever the corresponding search term is queried within the app.
This capability enhances visibility and engagement for users, investors, or brands aiming to capture attention related to popular topics like "Bitcoin" or other frequently searched terms.
Why It Matters 😉
SiBorg Ads introduces a novel approach by decentralizing the advertising process. It empowers users to customize their ad spaces, fostering greater engagement and interaction within the platform.
The Bid-to-Earn auction mechanism ensures fairness and rewards participation, encouraging active involvement in securing these valuable ad placements. Furthermore, the introduction of mystery boxes adds an element of excitement and additional rewards based on bidding activity, further incentivizing participation.
Our Takes 💪
The pre-sale of SiBorg Ads signifies the beginning of a new era in digital advertising where ownership, customization, and investment converge through blockchain technology. As SiBorg continues to innovate, future phases will expand ad space availability and explore permissionless minting options, promising further advancements in the realm of decentralised advertising.
And now, the question: Did you get your SiBorg Ads space, anon? Pre-Sale finishes today, Saturday, the 29th of June!

Introducing Blinks: Solana Frames 🖼
Let's dive into the latest innovation reshaping blockchain interaction: Blinks!
What are Blinks?
Blinks are revolutionary blockchain links that enable Solana transactions to be initiated and executed anywhere an URL can be shared.
Whether you're on social media, chatting with friends, or browsing websites, Blinks empower users to perform actions like voting, donating, minting, swapping, and paying directly through Solana.
How do they work?
Solana Actions provide APIs that return transaction details, which can be previewed, signed, and executed through various contexts such as:
Native app & mobile buttons
Scannable QR codes
Shareable blinks
Blinks take this functionality further by encapsulating these Actions into metadata-rich URLs. This allows Action-aware clients (like browser extensions or chat bots) to interpret and facilitate these transactions seamlessly. You only need to have a Solana wallet!
Why it matters?
Traditional blockchain transactions often require specific apps or interfaces, limiting accessibility. Blinks break down these barriers, making crypto interactions intuitive and universal.
Imagine requesting a payment via text, voting on governance in a chatroom, or purchasing an NFT on social media – all directly through a simple link.
Get Started with Blinks
To get started, ensure you have a Solana crypto wallet that supports Solana Actions. Integrate these Actions into your applications and witness how Blinks can democratise blockchain usage across the web.

Beer Taste - Lambic from Brussels 🍻
Heading to Brussels for ETHCC 2024 and for the Lens AFK gathering? This one is for you, then!
While you're diving into the world of blockchain, be sure to experience another Brussels treasure: Lambic beer.
A Beer Steeped in History:
Lambic, boasting a history as rich as its flavor, has been brewed in Brussels and surrounding regions since the 13th century. Unlike most beers, Lambic relies on wild yeasts and bacteria for fermentation, resulting in a dry, almost vinous taste with a tart aftertaste. Imagine a cider with a hint of barnyard funk (in the best way possible!)
The Brewing Process:
The magic happens in a shallow pan called a coolship. Here, the wort (unfermented beer) cools overnight, exposed to the open air. This allows a variety of wild yeasts and bacteria to work their magic, creating Lambic's signature character.
Aged for Perfection:
After fermentation, Lambic spends years aging in oak or wine barrels. This process adds depth and complexity, sometimes even a cheesy aroma from the aged hops used.
A Blend of Tradition and Innovation:
Lambic brewers are often blenders, creating unique flavor profiles by combining different Lambics and sometimes adding sugars or syrups. This tradition ensures a diverse and ever-evolving world of Lambic beers.
Ready to Try Lambic?
So, after a long day at ETHCC, gather your crypto mates and head to a Brussels pub for a taste of Lambic. Cheers!
And that's it for this week!
