Tell us a little about yourself (only what you’re happy to share!). Where do you live? Do you work, study etc?
I currently live in Frankfurt, Germany, where I balance a day job in marketing with my passion for photography and video creation.
How did you learn about orb? When did you start using it?
I first heard about orb on Lenster, where everyone was buzzing about the new mobile experience. At that time, it was only available on an invitation basis. I began using orb in October or November, around the time I became heavily involved with the Lens Ecosystem. Having a mobile app greatly accelerated this process.
What do you like about orb?
Where do I start 🙂
- Its clean UX design bridges the gap between functionality and user-friendliness. Despite being a web3 native app, its user experience is on par with a well-developed web2 application.
- I love the embedded audio/video features that allow me to create and post collectible NFTs directly on Lens on the go. It’s seamlessly integrated and just works!
- The desktop QR login is an excellent feature. It eliminates the need for a mobile crypto wallet and allows me to connect the app directly from my desktop via a simple QR code scan.
How often do you use orb? Where do you use it?
40-50% of my Lens usage is via orb on mobile, rest is divided between Buttrfly, Lenster and other apps I’m testing.
What blockchain are you currently on – Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum?
Presently, I’m primarily on Ethereum and its Layer 2s, but I have experience with Fantom, Solana, Harmony, Avalanche, and BNB – I tinker a lot.
Can you tell us a bit more about your earning experience with orb?
Earning with orb is straightforward. As I mentioned earlier, it’s simple to post collectible content via the app. I appreciate the features like collector’s statistics and revenue distribution, which I believe should be standardized across the Lensverse. Highlighting top supporters alongside follower counts is crucial, and orb does an excellent job in this regard.
Where else are you earning on web3?
My earnings on Lens surpass any other web3 platforms I’ve used. In my opinion, the sustainability of P2E models in web3 is questionable, as they often require a continuous influx of new users. However, Lensverse fosters a non-transactional relationship between creators and collectors that I find more sustainable and enjoyable.
