About

What it answers, and for whom.

Lens is a social protocol in which accounts, usernames, follows and posts are records in smart contracts. Built by the team behind Aave, it ran on Polygon from 2022 and moved in April 2025 to Lens Chain, a ZKsync-based network that uses GHO, Aave's dollar stablecoin, for gas. Profiles and posts from the Polygon era were migrated with it.

Because Lens activity is on-chain, this dashboard can count accounts created, posts and follows each day directly from Lens Chain, along with the gas paid and how much of it apps sponsored for their users. In January 2026 Mask Network became the steward of Lens, and the protocol's contracts stayed open for any app to build on.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Accounts, usernames, follows and posts are decoded from Lens contract events on Lens Chain per UTC day, with each event's app recorded where the protocol stores it.
  2. An account is active on a day if it posted, followed, reacted or changed its profile on-chain that day; creating an account alone does not count.
  3. Gas is each transaction's fee in GHO from its receipt, and a transaction counts as sponsored when an app's sponsorship paid its fee.
  4. Polygon-era history comes from Lens's contracts on Polygon, and the migration transactions that re-created those records on Lens Chain are left out of its daily counts.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is Lens Chain?

The network Lens Protocol moved to in April 2025, built with ZKsync's technology and using GHO, Aave's stablecoin, for gas. Lens profiles and posts previously lived on Polygon and were migrated to it.

Who runs Lens now?

Lens was built by the team behind Aave. In January 2026 Mask Network became its steward, with Aave moving to an advisory role and the protocol's contracts staying open and permissionless.

How many people use Lens?

The dashboard counts accounts created and accounts that acted on-chain each day. Lens accounts are smart contract accounts, so one person can control several, and counting actions shows use rather than sign-ups.

Why does Lens Chain use GHO for gas?

Paying gas in a dollar stablecoin keeps the cost of posting predictable for users and lets apps budget the gas they sponsor. The dashboard shows gas paid in GHO and the share apps covered.

How is Lens different from Farcaster?

On Lens, posts and follows are themselves on-chain records, so activity can be counted from contracts. On Farcaster, accounts, keys and storage are on-chain but messages are not, so its dashboard counts registrations and storage instead.

GHO
Aave's dollar stablecoin, which Lens Chain uses as its gas token.
Lens account
A smart contract account that holds a user's profile, follows and posts on Lens and can let approved apps act for it.
Sponsorship
An arrangement in which an app pays the gas for its users' transactions on Lens Chain.
