- @lensprotocol **just released V2!**
👇 Here's what you need to know to stay ahead in the Web3 social game.
The new V2 update will bring enhancements to attract more new social apps to build on top of it.
The rewritten codebase will remove barriers and allow more builders and developers to seamlessly construct various projects with ease.
The "Open Actions" strategy, equivalent to the "bring-your-own-smart contract," will further accelerate the social renaissance. This means it will introduce seamless synergy between the Lens app and custom smart contracts. 🤯
Lens V2 shines with another highlight: ERC-6551, which further empowers Lens profiles with social relationships, voice, and monetization capabilities. And guess what? You're right, the Lens profile you own will become more valuable over time. 🤯
The next update with the Profile Manager feature enables Lens profiles to delegate social actions to a different wallet, enhancing the security layer for Lens profiles. Users can securely store their profiles directly on hardware wallets and utilize them with any other wallet.
Lastly, through collective Value Share, they've expanded the possibilities for value sharing among users, algorithms, curators, and apps.
The programmable monetization layer allows everyone in the value chain to be rewarded, including users, algorithms, and other protocols.
- Congratulations #lensprotocol
