Lens

Lens Chain is a Layer 2 blockchain stack designed specifically for SocialFi applications, built on Ethereum with security guarantees from Ethereum's mainnet. It leverages zkSync and Avail technologies to deliver fast, scalable, and cost-effective transactions. The platform provides modular social primitives—onchain building blocks such as accounts, usernames, feeds, groups, and graphs—that developers can use to create social and financial experiences without building these components from scratch. Lens Chain also integrates decentralized storage through its Grove Storage Nodes, which combine the security and user ownership benefits of decentralized storage with the speed and cost efficiency typical of centralized solutions.

Lens Chain addresses common SocialFi challenges such as high transaction fees, slow settlement times, and fragmented user identity by offering account abstraction with signless and gasless smart accounts, predictable USD-denominated gas fees via GHO stablecoin, and easy onboarding through email or phone verification. Its global social graph enables users to maintain portable data and identities across multiple applications, fostering network effects and interoperability. Developers can customize social primitives with flexible rules and actions to define membership, content feeds, and monetization models.

The platform is supported by a robust developer ecosystem with comprehensive documentation, a developer dashboard, and integrations with leading infrastructure providers like Alchemy, The Graph, QuickNode, Tenderly, and thirdweb. Lens Chain is already integrated with prominent Web3 projects including Aave, Uniswap, Chainlink, MetaMask, and LayerZero, forming a bluechip ecosystem for SocialFi innovation. Developers can get started by creating an account on Lens, exploring the modular primitives, and building on the chain using the provided SDKs and smart contract tools.
