There're lots of generative ai tools being developed such as Midjourney, Dall-E or the many stable diffusion models, as well as new incoming ones such as Adobe Firefly. This can mean the industrialization of images and massive amount of content being produced. Nevertheless, when it comes to the distribution, user interaction and monetization of those content. Users/Creators are turning to the existing Web2 applications for sharing & posting.

Therefore, leveraging blockchain primitives might open up some new experiences or new methods of monetization for such content. For example, in the case of Lens, we can create posts with token gated prompt where the image is always visible, but the prompt (content or description) is encrypted by Lit protocol and will only be decrypted for users who have collected the post (perhaps with a small fee). Finally, with this feature as a starting point, maybe more relevant feature for generative ai content can be brainstormed, such as prompt search or image search among Lens protocol content using vector database, gamification or competition for incentivzing posting content.

• An application layer social network powered by Lens Protocol as its backend.
• The generative ai images and post metadata are stored on Arweave.
• Lit protocol is leverage for the encryption and decryption of an image post's prompt, which enables creators to monetize and users to discover ideas.
• Next.js & Typescript are used to code the application with deployment on Vercel.
