Lens is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built on ZKsync technology, designed specifically for decentralized social applications and the SocialFi ecosystem. Lens enables developers to build scalable social platforms with native social primitives, including profiles, posts, comments, and follower graphs stored on-chain. The network uses GHO as its native gas token and provides low-cost transactions optimized for high-frequency social interactions across millions of users.

By integrating social primitives directly at the protocol level, Lens eliminates the need for developers to rebuild basic social infrastructure from scratch. The blockchain's ZKsync execution layer combined with Avail DA and Ethereum settlement delivers cost efficiency over 90% lower than Ethereum while maintaining security, making Lens ideal for social media developers, content creators, decentralized communities, and applications seeking composable social graphs with user-owned data and portable digital identities.
