A decentralized social graph protocol
Lens is a decentralized social graph protocol designed to empower creators and enable them to take control of the social graph connecting them with their community. It features a number of abilities, such as allowing accounts to create and follow profiles as well as publish and collect posts.
In simplified terms, Lens could be considered to be the evolution of apps like TweetDeck or SocialBro. This is because it helps people manage and grow an online presence using a range of techniques, including the ability to collect posts from others.
Easily mint new content
One of the stand-out features of Lens is the ability to post new content and easily mint it as an NFT (non-fungible token). This content can be minted in a variety of ways, such as being available for free, released in an unlimited or limited run, and more. Other users can then collect the content as an NFT to keep.
Social graph tools
Lens makes it possible to easily view the user's social graph in an intuitive and visual way. Using this tool, a user can see who is in their social sphere, as well as view who they have in common with other users. This feature can help users visualize the crossover between different audiences.
A convenient tool for NFT artists
While Lens boasts many features related to social media ownership, its main strength appears to be in making it easy for artists to mint NFTs. Through Lens, it is possible to mint NFTs easily, as well as set a number of parameters, instructing how others can collect those NFTs.
