Alchemy + Lens: Powering the Future of SocialFi
Today, we're thrilled to announce that Alchemy infrastructure is fully supporting Lens Chain, a revolutionary onchain stack purpose-built for SocialFi applications. This collaboration brings together Alchemy's enterprise-grade infrastructure with Lens Chain's innovative Social Primitives to create the foundation for the next generation of onchain social experiences.
Why Lens Matters
Social media transformed how we connect, but it came with significant drawbacks: centralized control, data exploitation, disbalanced incentives, and limited monetization. Lens reimagines what's possible by combining high-performance infrastructure with flexible social primitives, allowing builders to create applications where users truly own their content, data, and relationships.
With Lens Chain, SocialFi becomes accessible to everyone. The platform simplifies blockchain complexity while delivering Web2-level performance with onchain benefits:
Lightning-fast performance with Avail DA and ZKsync Validiums.
Seamless user experience with stable gas fees through GHO stablecoin
Full user data sovereignty through Grove, a user-controlled storage solution
Developer Dashboard deploy apps and integrate Social Primitives, manage sponsorships, monitor performance, all in one place.
Frictionless onboarding via Family wallet with email/SMS verification
