# Lens Protocol Retrodrop By [0xCaptain](https://paragraph.com/@0xcaptain) · 2023-04-03 --- Twitter:[@CryptoBrawn](https://twitter.com/CryptoBrawn); GameFi enthusiast,NFT player,founder of [@GF\_GuildGameFi](https://twitter.com/GF_GuildGameFi),blockchain financing information,long-time cryptocurrency investor. \*\*[Lens](https://lens.xyz/) \*\*Introduction [Lens Protocol](https://lens.xyz/)  is a Web3 social graph on the Polygon blockchain. It is designed to allow authors to own connections between themselves and their community, forming a fully composite social graph owned by the user. The protocol is built from the ground up with modularity in mind. **To briefly explain the point:**  Lens Protocol wants to make a layer zero for social networks, where key information is stored, such as your subscriptions, content, and the like. The Lens protocol apps add onto this layer, giving the user a web interface and other stuff. **What does that mean?**  Conventionally, if one social network on the lens dies, all your main data remains and you can easily migrate to another product while keeping your posts/subscriptions/etc. Lens Protocol was founded by [Stani Kulechov](https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov) - the backer of Aave (one of the most popular liquidity protocols with TVL of $11 billion). It is unknown whether there were any investments in Lens, but the team's [Twitter](https://coinsguru.io/twitter/LensProtocol/) is very impressive - it seems all the CEOs of large funds are signed up for this project. So we keep tabs on the project and follow their development and activities in which you can participate. **How to participate?** **1.Getting the profile** First of all, you need to check if the domain branding is available to you. * Go to [claim.lens.xyz](https://claim.lens.xyz/claim); * Press "Connect Wallet" - "Browser" (if you have Metamask) - and sign the message in the wallet; * If you're “not eligible”, lens will show you the message below.
