Quick Fact
Lenster is the most popular front-end app built on Lens Protocol, offering a familiar Web2-like UX while letting users fully own their profiles, posts, and connections.
A Web3 Social App with Familiar UX
Lenster is a decentralized social networking app powered by Lens Protocol, designed to look and feel like a traditional platform such as Twitter—but with Web3 principles under the hood. All user interactions—follows, posts, mirrors (retweets), and comments—are recorded on-chain and owned by users.
Built on Lens, Powered by the Community
As an open-source, community-built frontend, Lenster leverages the Lens Protocol’s NFT-based architecture for profiles and posts. Users sign in with their wallets (like MetaMask or Lens-native wallets), and their entire social graph is portable across other Lens apps. The app features a token-gated feed, post monetization, encrypted DMs, and support for content collection.
Monetization, Privacy, and Sovereignty
Creators can monetize their posts directly, gate access with NFTs, and create collectible editions of their content. Since all data is tied to the user's wallet and stored on-chain (with some metadata on IPFS or Arweave), users are no longer at the mercy of centralized servers or platforms.
