Lens Chain RPC
Lens Overview
Lens is a blockchain built for decentralized social. Lens addresses the challenges of building social applications on blockchain by providing tailored infrastructure for social interactions. As a layer 2 leveraging ZKsync, Avail, and Ethereum's security, it solves these problems in social networking:
- User Ownership: Users control their social profiles, content, and connections rather than platforms
- Application Portability: Social data can move between different applications without vendor lock-in
- Developer Tools: Modular Social Primitives provide ready-made components for social features
- Simplified Onboarding: Account abstraction, USD gas fees remove blockchain complexity for end users
Through customizable Rules, developers can define how Groups, Feeds, Graphs, and Usernames interact, unlocking novel monetization models and access control mechanisms.
Interacting with Lens’s APIs
Lens nodes expose a JSON-RPC interface that is compatible with Ethereum’s JSON-RPC API. This means developers can use Ethereum’s native tools, such as Foundry, Hardhat, and popular Web3 libraries, without modification.
However, due to Lens’s architectural differences, some RPC methods may behave differently from those on Ethereum. The QuickNode Lens documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Lens documentation for the latest updates.
Make Lens Chain API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Lens Chain is to create a QuickNode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.
QuickNode provides managed Lens Chain endpoints, giving you immediate access to the Lens Chain network without the complexity of running your own infrastructure. These endpoints offer:
- High reliability – globally distributed infrastructure designed to minimize downtime
- Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production-grade apps
- Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs and QuickNode Marketplace add-ons
Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
