Lens Protocol
Overview
Lens Protocol is a decentralized social graph built on Polygon, designed to give users ownership of their content and social connections. It is a composable infrastructure that allows developers to build social media applications where users control their data.
How It Works
Users create a Lens profile as an NFT, which stores their posts, follows, and interactions on-chain. This enables portability across different apps built on Lens.
Vision
The protocol aims to replace centralized social networks with a user-owned alternative.
Current Status
Lens has gained traction among crypto-native communities and developers. It is not a standalone app but a protocol; various frontends like Lenster and Phaver provide social media experiences. Lens is still evolving but represents a significant step toward decentralized social media.
