What is Lens?

Lens Network is an EVM-compatible Validium chain secured by Ethereum that paves the way for onchain social networks to scale.

Lens is built to deliver a seamless user experience comparable to popular web2 apps, while also offering advanced ownership and monetization features. Right from the beginning, users can enjoy gassless and signless transactions with integrated wallet support.

Builders can rely on high security, decentralization and low costs at the same time. This paves the way for onchain social networks to scale for mass adoption:

  • Scalability: Lens is able to handle onchain data at scale, through its hybrid architecture with a Validium and a dedicated DA layer.

  • Low Costs: Validium is also able to keep costs down, which is crucial for social networks that are sensitive to pricing.

  • Security and Data Integrity: Lens uses a scaling solution with a modular approach which ensures that social transactions apply sufficient security for social network data integrity, yet remain scalable.
