Lens Protocol Unveils V2, Paving the Way for a Decentralized Social Web

Introducing Lens Protocol V2

In a groundbreaking announcement today, Lens Protocol has revealed the highly anticipated Lens Protocol V2, a major step towards creating an open and decentralized social layer for the web. This new version is designed to revolutionize social media by fostering positive value-sharing models that benefit all stakeholders, from creators and users to brands and developers.

Lens V2 incorporates enhanced composability, increased configurability, improved trust and safety standards, and fortified profile security.

Open Actions

One of the key advancements in the Lens V2 update is the revolutionary Open Actions feature. This enables developers and users to execute external actions directly on Lens publications, facilitating a seamless integration of smart contracts from any web3 application. By plugging into the Lens collective value share chain, users, applications, algorithms, and other services can be rewarded for their contributions, promoting collaboration and increasing the overall value of the social network.​​

In addition, Lens V2 introduces Profiles V2, a powerful feature that treats profiles as wallets, empowering NFTs with social relationships and monetization opportunities. ERC-6551 token standard support allows value from 'mints' and 'collects' to be accrued to profiles, further reinforcing individual ownership and control over content.
