Lens Protocol is live on Polygon mainnet. Profile NFT minting begins!
The Lens Protocol is in full bloom 🌿 Today, we at the Aave Companies – the genesis team behind the Aave Protocol and Lens Protocol – are excited to announce that Lens Protocol is officially live on Polygon mainnet 🥳 Welcome to the future of decentralized social media, where you own your profile, your content, and your network.
Read along to learn why Lens is the social graph that puts users and creators first, how you can claim the last social handle you’ll ever need, and how to get started in the Lens ecosystem. Let’s grow together!
What is Lens Protocol? We’re glad you asked.
Lens Protocol is a composable and decentralized social graph that makes building a social media platform easy, so you can focus on making a great experience for your user base, not scaling them. Leveraging NFT technology, the connections and interactions between people on social applications powered by Lens allow users to fully own their data, unlocking new ways for creators (like you!) to monetize their digital content, and for everyone to own their relationships with their friends and followers.
Key functions:
Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave
An open social graph will allow creators to be truly multi-platform and go direct-to-community. With Lens, each user’s followers, community, and content are linked to their NFT profile and can be ported into any new app powered by Lens Protocol.
The last social media handle you’ll ever have to create 🌿 To check your eligibility, visit https://claim.lens.xyz and connect your wallet, then follow our simple 3-step system:
Visit https://claim.lens.xyz and choose your handle
Next choose your PFP 🖼
Finally, finish customizing your profile where you can enter your name & bio 💬
Follow away! Next, build the social graph by following frens on Lens.
And that’s it! Your Profile NFT will now be planted, and growing with every follow, in your wallet. Bloomin’ exciting, right? 🤩🌿 Now that you have a freshly minted profile, explore other profiles and start following frens at https://LensFrens.xyz!
At launch, 18 May, 2022, if you tweeted your signature to the Lens Open Letter prior to 5/5 @ 5:55:55 UTC, you qualify to claim your Lens handle. In addition to frens who signed the letter, Lens community buildoooors will also be able to claim a handle! Addresses belonging to all project members that have built on Lens as part of the recent LFGrow, DAOHacks, and ETHAmsterdam hackathons will be eligible at launch, as well as Top 250 Gitcoin grantees from rounds 9 through 12. Thank you for building on Lens! See you there!
The evolution of Lens Protocol has been an exciting adventure! Ever since the first launch on testnet, the community has been pivotal to the growth of the protocol. From all-new features, tools, and apps, buildooors have been hard at work. Let’s take a look at what makes building on Lens special 🤝
“Lens is uniquely designed to put power back into the hands of the community and Polygon aligns with its goal of enabling secure content ownership. Polygon is committed to bringing millions of users to Web3 through a range of scaling solutions, and we are excited to empower the creator community together with Aave.” – Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon
Launched on Polygon's eco-friendly blockchain, it allows each publication on Lens Protocol to have a low carbon footprint while being on a low-cost, secure blockchain.
With no need to growth hack a social network for your Lens-powered social media platform, you can focus on building a great experience instead of scaling your users.
Lens offers a unique foundation for the next-gen of social media platforms and tools. At launch, there are already 50+ applications built on Lens, spanning social apps to creator monetization tools!
Music platforms, creator tools, monetization systems, and even gaming, there are so many great ideas ripe for the picking to build! To spur the imagination, we’ve created an ideas hub where you can explore these themes and more. Head over to https://ideas.lens.xyz and get inspired!
The Lens grants program is ready to help you LFGrow 🌿
Have a great idea? To help cultivate the garden, we're offering a grants program to accelerate the growth of the Lens Protocol ecosystem. Submit your application here 👉 https://tinyurl.com/lensgrant
Lens Protocol enables creators to take ownership of their content and their followers. More and more, we’re seeing Web2 social media and creator platforms charging or taking a fee for using their platform to earn a living. It’s your content, and you should be in charge of who gets to remix it, how to monetize it, and more. Lens understands and addresses this basic need and that’s why creators love Lens.
Lens provides a user and creator first foundation for any application to plug into and gives people full ownership over their profile, content (inc. how to monetize), and relationships with their community.

Thanks to some very exciting ETHGlobal hackathons like LFGrow and ETHAmsterdam, the grants program and the community of Lens, the ecosystem is already ✨ thriving ✨with creative apps and tools powered by Lens.
