Writing contest with Lens\\n\\nWe organized a month-long writing contest with Lens called “Pluralistic Future of L2s”.\\n\\nThe contest got a [lot of attention](https://x.com/KiwiNewsHQ/status/1828834946204701180/photo/1), and we even got a [prompt from Vitalik](https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1828843846496813109).\\n\\nWe received 28 submissions from a diverse group of authors, including the co-inventor of the ERC20 standard, co-founder of Celo, and Ethereum Foundation researcher.\\n\\nAnd the writers’ work got a lot of eyeballs. We calculated with t2 that people spent over 20 hours reading the submissions, and some contest essays have been read by [Vitalik](https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1838809754002690403), [Stani Kulechov](https://x.com/StaniKulechov/status/1838886110509883876), and [Alex Glukhovsky](https://x.com/gluk64/status/1838930538993680610).\\n\\nThe contest was also successful from the growth POV - since the beginning it, we got [54 new paying users](https://optimistic.etherscan.io/token/0x66747bdc903d17c586fa09ee5d6b54cc85bbea45).\\n\\nIf you want to dig in, you can read some of my [favorite contest ideas here](https://x.com/MacBudkowski/status/1838607991995596839). \\n\\nb. Writing contest with Nouns\\n\\nIn the meantime, we also announced the big writing contest with [Nouns](https://x.com/KiwiNewsHQ/status/1843678175597047840)\\n\\nc. Improving the product\\n\\nWe added images [to the feed](https://news.kiwistand.com/).\\n\\nFixed [notifications bugs](https://github.com/attestate/kiwistand/commit/ea45787e271514750fdb5abe5fa6972b1f155edd).\\n\\nAnd started showing the number of clicks for all links.\\n\\nWe also started prompting Base & Arbitrum users to bridge to OP to get a Kiwi Pass.\\n\\nd. Promotion\\n\\nWe integrated [Farcaster Frames](https://warpcast.com/casslineth/0x64904cd8).\\n\\nKiwi got featured [among Warpcast apps](https://warpcast.com/macbudkowski/0xadb4dbb4).\\n\\nWe also improved referrals so that when you invite a friend, they get a % off, and you get a bit of ETH.\\n\\nWe also got a [new version of the Kiwi Dune dashboard](https://dune.com/rvolz/kiwi-news), maintained by our contributor - rvolz.eth.\\n\\n\\n### **3) Protocol hardening**\\n\\nIn terms of protocol hardening, we were primarily focused on debugging the protocol code with rvolz.eth, who runs a node.\\n\\nThere were many commits related to that challenge, and some of them took a lot of investigation even though the commits [were short](https://github.com/attestate/kiwistand/commit/7b5eef297e5499c59a9b860502ee2e765809cfc4).\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\nAll in all, we had a very productive 2 months and did a lot to move forward.\\n\\nWe do hope that with the Octant funding, we will be able to take our efforts to the next level and get more Ethereum community members to read and discuss all quality Ethereum content on Kiwi - our decentralized crypto Hacker News.\",\"title\":\"2 months of Kiwi in a nutshell\",\"type\":\"project-update\"}"}}]
