- Lens Token Distributor (lens.xyz)
Lens has built a Token Distributor for gasless token distribution based on real user value rather than surface-level activity, and it is now in early testing, distributing GHO directly to qualifying users' Lens Accounts with no claim process. The first phase focuses on GHO, though the system supports any ERC-20 token. Users are ranked on behavior such as engagement frequency, how others respond to their content, trust and network connections measured by PageRank, onchain financial activity, and steady engagement over time. An ML model filters out bots, spam, and low-value accounts, and the initial phase uses heuristic scoring that the team plans to refine through testing.
