Today marks our 1 Year Anniversary of making friends onchain 🎂!

Thank you to everyone who has made the first year of Lens Protocol so special and groundbreaking. Lens has brought together builders, creators, communities, and friends, all while in beta.

There's so much planned for the second year ahead, and we can't wait to continue to grow with all of you.

Who did you become frens with on Lens?
