Hey everyone! Great to be back with you. It’s been a quiet 36 hours without our favorite Lens apps, but now we’re all on Lens Chain.

This will be a short update to explain what’s happened with your accounts and content, and what to expect moving forward.

As we shared last month, the migration required a phased, multi-team rollout. We aimed for a smooth transition with zero action from you. First, because the Lens community deserves a frictionless experience; second, to protect the integrity of your content, connections, and digital identity.

We took a snapshot of everything and migrated it to Lens Chain at launch. We coordinated with app teams to make sure they could flip the switch and just work.

During the past 36 hours, app teams went dark while we all worked behind the scenes to move every profile to Lens V3. That process wrapped just a few hours ago, and the apps started rolling out their builds, a process that will bleed well into the weekend. It takes a village!

That’s the recap. Now here’s what you can explore and enjoy today and over the next few days on the new Lens:
