Lenny wants to help you understand the basics of the Lens Protocol! 🌿
Many newcomers have recently joined the Lens ecosystem, and here is a brief FAQ about the Lens Protocol! 👇 1️⃣ What is Lens Protocol? The Lens Protocol is a Web3 social graph on the Polygon blockchain. It empowers creators to own the links between themselves and their community, forming a fully composable, user-owned social graph. 2️⃣ What is a Lens Profile NFT? Profiles on Lens are represented by a Profile NFT, the main object in the Lens Protocol. Owning this NFT gives you control over your social graph and content. Individual addresses own ProfileNFTs, and an address can have multiple ProfileNFTs. Atm, only invited users can claim a Lens Profile NFT. 3️⃣ What differentiates the Lens Profile NFT from other on-chain IDs? Profile NFTs can post content. They contain the history of all your posts, quotes, mirrors, comments, and other content. All your social data are linked to your Lens Profile NFT. 4️⃣ What is a Lens Handle? Lens Handles are like usernames on a social network, for example, @stani @punkess or @jessyjeanne 5️⃣ Do I need to pay a gas fee while posting on Lens apps? No, if you enable your Lens Manager while using any @lens apps like @orbapp @kaira @phaver or @t2world you don’t need to pay a fee or sign on-chain transactions for posting, commenting, liking, etc. 6️⃣ Do I need different Lens Profile NFTs to use different Lens apps? No. With a single Lens Profile NFT, you can explore all Lens apps. Each app is a client offering different UX and benefits, and they all feed from the Lens Protocol. Your posts, comments, etc., from different apps, can be seen in other apps. 7️⃣ What is the collect feature? You can post collectible posts. Set a price, supply, or time limit with advanced settings. It's a new way of on-chain social engagement! We hope this guide is useful for newcomers! 🌿 Feel free to if you have any questions 👇

HNY everyone!
2024 and Lens to me is about finding the unfamiliar again and truly building generational tech and products. Copying what’s come before is the safer and easier choice but doesn’t create the same groundbreaking impact.
I reflect a lot on TikTok, when I joined I knew ByteDance had built something innovative in Asia, but it’s future in the west in wasn’t so clear. My friends thought I was crazy leaving my current situation and didn’t understand what it could become. To everyone now it’s obvious, but back then it wasn’t and disregarded by many before it’s hockey stick growth and inflection point.
Being able to now say I was part of a generational global product now is something I’m very proud of. I’ll never forget being allocated the same desk in NYC WeWork with 12 desks as Zhang Yiming on my first day who was in town and graciously told me to keep it. Or early days having the opportunity to be in meetings with Alex Zhu whose philosophy about social apps as countries and co creation as a social fabric still resonates today and blue print for social builders. Even I didn’t realize it at the time how lucky I was, but I hold these moments today.
It’s why in jumped into web3 finally after many years of being on the surface personally. I had conviction after my bet on ByteDance played out and excited to embark on another.
Next goal is being able to say I was part of infrastructure backbone making possible the next wave of innovative consumer products.
While the power of @lensprotocol may be invisible to most, if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that game changing tech more than often comes from what not everyone sees.
It’s never what’s familiar and expected to all. That’s why it’s disruptive.
2024 let’s rock.
