On November 11, 2026, ChainCatcher reported that social protocol Lens had announced plans to launch on Monad. Monad said Lens would be rebuilt around a fully on-chain social graph, with users owning their accounts and connections. Anyone would be able to build a client on that graph, and users would be able to choose what appears in their feeds.
Lens describes its network as decentralized and permissionless, with no invitation required to join. It says users own their accounts and followers rather than being locked into one platform. According to the announcement, people who already have a Lens or Farcaster account would be able to sign in with it. These are descriptions of the planned experience, not confirmation that the Monad launch had taken place.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov started Lens in 2022. According to RootData, the protocol had raised more than $46 million, with investors including Tencent, Robot Ventures, Wintermute, Circle Ventures and Variant Fund.
