Lens Protocol was launched in May 2022 and is currently in the testing phase. The protocol retains ownership of users’ digital identities, activities, and relationships. Using an open tech stack, builders can create social front-ends or integrate Lens social features into existing Web3 applications.

Now more than ever, there is a need for an open and interoperable decentralized social layer to create a more creative, diverse, and humane internet. We are excited about the new possibilities expressed by these underlying technologies and are pleased to support the Lens team on this journey.
