The Onchain Social Shakeup
Lens and Farcaster enter new chapters under Mask and Neynar.
Consumer crypto's landscape is continuing to shift in major ways. The headlining visions for onchain social in recent years – Farcaster and Lens – have both seen a changing of the guard this week. Let's catch you up on all the happenings.
Avara, the parent company of Aave and Lens, just passed stewardship of the Lens protocol to Mask Network, the team behind onchain social apps like Firefly and Orb. Avara will continue to double down on DeFi, while Mask aims to bring about a new product-centric era for Lens.
Today, we’re proud to share that @masknetwork will steward the next chapter for Lens, bringing the strongest onchain SocialFi foundation to life through intuitive, consumer-ready applications. pic.twitter.com/mwgZOn7k4s
