Lens Protocol is a decentralized, non-custodial social graph built as a set of Solidity smart contracts, enabling on-chain social interactions like following, posting, and collecting with community ownership of social graphs. It forms the core protocol of the broader Lens ecosystem, which includes Lens Chain (a ZKsync-based Layer 2) and modular social primitives such as Groups, Feeds, Graphs, and Usernames.

Use cases

• build a decentralized social media app where users own their social graph
• create on-chain follow and follower relationships as NFTs
• implement composable social feeds and monetization for creators
• develop a SocialFi application with on-chain identity and usernames
• integrate decentralized social primitives into an existing web3 dapp
• build access-controlled communities using on-chain group rules

When to choose

• you are building a web3 social application and want users to own their social graph
• you need composable, on-chain social primitives like graphs, feeds, and usernames
• you want censorship-resistant social interactions secured by Ethereum
• you are developing on Lens Chain or the EVM ecosystem in Solidity

When to avoid

• you need a traditional web2 social network without blockchain overhead
• your project cannot tolerate smart contract gas costs and on-chain constraints
• you require fully centralized control over user data and moderation
• you are not building in the Ethereum/EVM ecosystem
