Lens V2 Unveiled: A New Chapter in Social Protocols 🚀
Lens Protocol takes a bold leap forward with the unveiling of Lens V2, representing a significant milestone after a year of valuable insights and progress.
A few hiccups might remain, but let's focus on the exciting transformations that have unfolded.
Key Upgrades and Features:
Profile-Based Social Operations: All social operations are now Profile-based, ensuring actions are performed within the context of a Profile, enhancing security and accountability.
Optimised Follow NFTs: Follow NFTs have been optimised for seamless user experience. They now exist in two states: Unwrapped (tied to the follower Profile) and Wrapped (ERC-721 state) for enhanced composability with other protocols.
Advanced Referral System: Lens V2 introduces an advanced referral system, empowering users to seamlessly connect and expand their networks.
Publication Action Modules: The addition of Publication Action Modules, also known as Open Actions, opens doors to diverse interactive possibilities within the Lens ecosystem.
Delegated Executors: Delegated Executors offer enhanced flexibility and efficiency, allowing users to delegate specific actions, streamlining social interactions.
TokenGuardian Pattern: A robust security measure, the TokenGuardian pattern, has been implemented on both Profiles and Handles, providing additional layers of protection for social assets.
Lens Handles as ERC721s: Lens Handles have transitioned into ERC721 tokens, managed by a separate contract, ensuring seamless and standardised management.
Code Rewrite: The entire codebase has been reworked and rewritten from scratch, ensuring robustness, scalability, and efficiency.
Open Actions / Smart Posts: With Open Actions, developers can build Smart Posts - interactions with any external smart contract in a Lens publication. Examples?
Tipping in any ERC-20 token
Betting
Smart ads
Pay to read the rest
Crowdfunding
Interact with ENS from a Lens app
Interact with Aave or Uniswap from a Lens app
And more. Sick, ain't it? And this is only the beginning!
With these groundbreaking changes, Lens Protocol is set to redefine the landscape of social interactions, offering us a more secure, intuitive, and versatile environment to connect, collaborate, and thrive.
Are you excited about the possibilities Lens V2 brings to the world of web3 social interactions?
