Lens Protocol has adopted required security patches following zkSync's announcement of new security measures and the eventual retirement of the EraVM execution environment. Lens stated it is not aware of any anomalous batches affecting its deployment and that no action is required from Lens users. The announcement underscores Lens' reliance on the zkSync stack and its proactive response to upstream infrastructure changes.
Lens Labs announced that Mask Network would steward the next chapter of Lens, shifting focus from protocol infrastructure to consumer-ready SocialFi applications.
Lens went live on its own EVM-compatible chain built with ZKsync and Avail for data availability, migrating V2 data from Polygon in what it called the largest migration to date, and releasing Lens V3.
The round, with participants including Circle, Consensys, Avail and Wintermute Ventures, was raised to build out Lens Network, a high-performance L2 blockchain for SocialFi applications.
After a community vote through Lens Improvement Proposals (LIPs), Lens opened profile minting to anyone, moving out of beta and into a permissionless phase.
Announced at Devconnect Istanbul, Lens V2 brought greater composability, profile switching, and standalone primitives, in what the project called its first large-scale protocol migration across apps.
The raise included General Catalyst, Variant, Blockchain Capital and several DAOs, and was earmarked to expand the protocol's ecosystem and development as a social layer for Web3.
Lens went live on Polygon mainnet with Profile NFT minting, enabling creators to own their profiles and portable social graph. More than 50 projects had already been built on the protocol at launch.
Lens Protocol, a permissionless decentralized social graph being built by the Aave team, was made available on Polygon's Mumbai testnet after an onchain Open Letter invited the community to participate.
