Mask Network takes over Lens Protocol with the goal of creating a "product that people actually use."
BlockBeats News, January 21st, the future of Lens Protocol will no longer be led by its original team. The SocialFi project announced on Tuesday that Mask Network will "host and lead" the next stage of Lens's development.
Lens Protocol was launched in early 2022 by Aave founder Stani Kulechov, originally positioned as "building Twitter on Ethereum." Kulechov stated on X platform on Tuesday: "We have built Lens Protocol and its underlying on-chain infrastructure, including advanced decentralized content data storage governed by smart contracts. Our goal is to create a neutral social infrastructure for developers to build consumer-grade applications that can reach mainstream users."
About a year after Lens went live on Polygon, the official revealed that it had supported over 110,000 social accounts and spawned hundreds of applications. On the same day, Mask Network also outlined its plans for Lens's future on X, stating: "The next stage is not more protocols but to build truly usable products, along with the culture we shape together and a truly thriving community."
Mask Network is also known for supporting the decentralized social ecosystem Mastodon. As early as 2022, Mask Network acquired the second-largest Mastodon server as part of its strategy to expand the SocialFi ecosystem.
