Mastering Lens Protocol: Everything You Need to Know

The Zerion blog presents Lens Protocol as a leading Web3 social network whose ecosystem has grown since its permissionless opening, with multiple VC-backed clients, community-driven proposals and native tokens. Launched in February 2022 by the team behind Aave, Lens opened to permissionless sign-ups in February 2024 after a community proposal. The article says Lens had over 22,000 daily active users, compared with 25,000 to 30,000 for Farcaster, its closest competitor. It also highlights Orb, Hey and Phaver as main clients and the $Bonsai meme token, introduced by the MadFi team on March 4, 2024.
