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: In-App Mechanism Breakdown
Today let's dive into SiBorgs Podcast app mechanism to understand better how it works.
1. Twitter Spaces Integration 🤝
The first integration undertaken by the SiBorg team is the incorporation of Twitter Spaces. On Twitter, Spaces are not archived, meaning that the content is lost in the Twitter feed after the live session ends. SiBorg enables these content-rich Spaces to have a second life. It makes it easier to search for and find new Spaces and creators to listen to.
2. Lens Protocol Integration 🌿
SiBorg integrates with Lens Protocol, which is based on the Polygon blockchain. This integration enables our users to connect their SiBorg and Lens profiles, unlocking Lens protocol functionalities and empowering users to own their social identity and interactions.
3. Wallet-Based Recommendation 😲
The initial feature, "Proof of Support," and the developing "Wallet-Based Recommendation" aim to revolutionize content curation by leveraging what users hold in their wallets. This feature will recommend specific content based on users' wallet holdings, saving time and helping them find valuable content in Twitter Spaces.
4. Proof of Support 👏
Each user can delegate their $SIB tokens to podcasters. By doing so, users become eligible for rewards based on their engagement and interaction. For content creators, delegated tokens boost visibility and may provide governance power within the app. This mechanism empowers users and creators directly, improves content curation, and increases buying pressure on the $SIB token.
5. Social Identity 🆔
XP (Experience Points): Users earn XP through various interactions both on Twitter and within the app, including following, liking, retweeting, commenting, and participating in Spaces. This will evolve as the app develops.
Composability: SiBorg's social identity system ensures that a user's reputation doesn't start from zero when they sign up. Users link their Twitter accounts and wallets, and they use RSS3 to assess their engagement level on the blockchain.
The Bot Issue: Thanks to blockchain and this reputation mechanism, it can detect and reduce bots in the app. SiBorg is also working with advisors on Decentralized Identity solutions like Anima for additional proof of identity.
With these innovative features, SiBorg aims to enhance the user experience, improve content curation, and empower both users and creators onchain. Sounds exciting, right?

ZKsync Airdrop is here 🪂
Last week, ZKsync announced their airdrop, and we covered all the details in our report. You can check your eligibility safely here — no need to connect your wallet, just search your address!
ZKsync was one of our most popular hunts on Airdrop Hunter, with more than one-third of our Citizens qualifying for an allocation. But what exactly is ZKsync, and why is it a big deal?
ZKsync is a layer-two (L2) scaling solution developed by Matter Labs. It's designed to address Ethereum's scalability issues, providing a faster and cheaper hub for transactions. With transaction fees around ~$0.02 compared to $3.66 on Ethereum, it's over 99% more affordable. ZKsync uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to verify transactions efficiently.
Top Projects on ZKsync:
Explore the ZKsync Era ecosystem with over 100 apps. Here are a few standout projects:
1. SyncSwap: The largest DEX on ZKsync.
2. Koi Finance: A DeFi liquidity hub.
3. ZeroLend: A leading borrowing and lending protocol.

Beer Taste: Mythos from Greece 🇬🇷
Summer heat got you craving for a refreshing brew? Look no further than Mythos, a top dog among Greek lagers!
While Greece boasts a rich history dating back millennia, Mythos is a young upstart, born in 1997. Unlike the ancient ruins and timeless traditions, Mythos represents a modern twist on Greek refreshment.
This light and crisp lager, with its clean finish and 5% alcohol content, is designed to quench your thirst on a hot day and complement the delicious flavors of Greek cuisine.
Despite its youthful spirit, Mythos honors Greek brewing traditions. The Olympic Brewery, which has produced Mythos since 2015, brings generations of brewing experience to the table.
While Mythos reigns supreme in Greece, its refreshing appeal has transcended borders. Today, you can find this iconic lager gracing shelves across Europe, the US, Canada, and even Australia.
No matter where you are in the world, a Mythos can transport you to the heart of the Greek summer, offering a taste of paradise in every bottle.
So, next time you're craving a refreshing escape, grab a Mythos and let the taste of Greece take you away!
And that's it for this week!
