The term "open protocol" refers to the possibility that everyone can build on top of it and users can freely choose which platform they want to use for interacting with the protocol. Being able to control the amount of users in the beginning is crucial - I guess you're underestimating the amount of work&adaptions when building something massive like the Lens Protocol.
We're still testing it; I would say, especially as users and devs. This announcement is nice because lately, all the engagement was from bots, getting no value from joining Lens. Imagine if you open this to the public and the experience is like that. People would run away from it. We don't have to rush it.
It’s a process ser. You can’t start all in, you slowly but steady move towards it or it breaks
'open' here is more of a vision statement rather than a point in time fact of the current state of the network
ser i think its because lens is still in test period and i am sure it will open to everyone soon
yeah I thought that lens was opening up to all users now at first glance too. still early days
Don't worry, we will have an open version
It's a process. Not a one time thing. For now, we wait. 😁
