Users can now directly execute external smart contract operations within Lens publications, and the ability to interact with smart contracts within social media is added in Lens V2.
New permissions for third-party contract operations are added, including whitelist functionality, minting NFTs on Sound (Ethereum mainnet), minting NFTs on Opensea (Polygon), etc. Asset management functionalities are added, including delegation of operations to any wallet, allowing users to use other wallets to execute operations instead of being limited to a single wallet; storing personal profiles directly on hardware wallets and being able to use them in another wallet; the new version supports storing DAO or community personal profiles on multisignature wallets and being able to use them from one or multiple addresses. This ensures the security and access control of personal profiles and allows multiple addresses to be associated with them, etc.
