Step 1: Activate Spotlight & Grab Trending Lenses (60 seconds)
Open Snapchat → tap the Spotlight tab → tap the “Create” button. Swipe through the Lens carousel and pick any trending Lagos-friendly lens (Neon Glow, Lagos Street Vibe, or Pidgin Text Overlay).

Step 3: Hit the Unique View Threshold & Collect Crystal Payouts
