Onboarding to Lens in 3 Simple Steps!

"I claimed my Lens profile, what do I do now?" Is a question I get a LOT. I recommend doing 3 things that we go over in this video:

• complete your profile
• make your first post
• get on mobile

Disclaimer: these are my personal views, not those of The Aave Companies. There is more than one way to complete these activities, DYOR!

Scaling Decentralized Social with Stani Kulechov | The Edge Podcast

Stani Kulechov is the Founder of Aave and Lens protocols.

In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the legendary DeFi founder Stani Kulechov. Having built Aave into one of the world's largest DeFi protocols with an all-time high of $30B TVL, Stani made the bold move in 2021 to jumpstart another wildly challenging Web3 startup that would deliver a self-sovereign alternative to social media–called Lens.

Lens is a decentralized composable social layer. You can think of it as "not your keys, not your follower graph" and it has proven to be the most foundational lego in the decentralized social stack jumpstarting a Web3 alternative to apps like Twitter or YouTube. Stani joins us to talk about their recently announced scaling solution for decentralized social called Momoka.
