Lens will launch on Monad, rebuilding as a social graph on the entire chain

The social protocol Lens announced its launch on the public chain Monad. Lens stated that this social network is decentralized and permissionless, allowing users to own their accounts and followers, with accounts not being locked and joining without invitations. Lens was initiated by Aave founder Stani Kulechov in 2022, and according to RootData, the protocol has raised over 46 million dollars in total funding, with investors including Tencent, Robot Ventures, Wintermute, Circle Ventures, and Variant Fund.

Monad indicated that Lens will completely rebuild its social graph on-chain from the ground up and will launch on Monad. Users will own their accounts and connections, and anyone can build clients based on this social graph, with users also able to decide the content displayed in their information feed. Users who already have a Lens account or a Farcaster account can log in using their existing accounts.
