I have never said they were the same entity. Please re-read.
I do not understand why I should explain myself every single time I interact with Avara Labs and not the other way around. I have never had a pleasant experience with the ecosystem. Its always a straight ban or answer our questions and then ban.
My premise stays. Why wont Avara Labs just fund Lenster directly. If its for the marketing, absolutely, I am here to assist.

All I really want to know why Lens, being under the control of the same/similar teams is still applying and getting accepted as a grantee.
I didn’t see Lens is there on the Grants Program
The founder of formerly Lenster questioned the connection between the Lens and Aave.
Where did I question it?
Wait are you the guy that blocked me on X ?

There is 0 relation between Lens and Lenster!!
Hey/Lenster is just a client app built on top of Lens. We have 0 rights to ban you on the protocol, and it’s not possible at all.
I didn’t work for Lens or Avara, I work for Hey and I’m the single founder.
Do you have any other questions?

Yes those are grants, not only Hey getting paid, lot of ecosystem apps get paid
Ok, thanks for the honesty. But your project is literally capturing the rounds funding and is probably the reason for the max cap. Do you intend to stop applying for the rounds in the future ?

Why do we need to stop? Can you explain it? we are open source project, we need grants to be sustainable
But lens is literally bringing a lot of revenue through your protocol / client and it does not benefit the whole ecosystem only Lens.

How can the client aka Hey can be sustainable?
Do you have the data on your client revenue/transactions by any chance? That would help a lot.
I just do not think the answer is to eliminate chances of the other projects to become sustainable.

We don’t have revenue from collects or super follows. Lens protocol takes 5% of it, but Hey, not; our main source is Grants.

The dataset is public, you can check the Lens Bigquery datasets, I can’t post link, this forum is not allowing me, DM me on TG I can send.

This is insane, for the amount of marketing and supposed grants funding.

We are not eliminating any projects in any way; Gitcoin doesn’t have any trending kind of algorithm to promote any projects; people come and search organically and fund the projects.
What is Insane here? I can explain you anything you want!
I think my premise on Aave having no additional bandwidth was and still is correct.
So, since my brother is sleeping, I am forwarding his article into the thread.
Very curious if he could apply for the round, or this would again be met with stern criticism and subsequent ban on aave forum.
If this is YES, then I am absolutely furious and against such “collaboration”
I do not think that Aave has a bandwidth to deal with grantees in a polite manner and Gitcoin does not have a competency to know reliably what Aave needs.

This is not related to Hey/Lenster! And we didn’t apply for the above one! Also, AAVE is not related to Hey in any way!
