Frequently asked questions
What is Lens and what are its primary use cases?
Lens is a social-first Ethereum L2 mainnet that uses GHO as the native gas, purpose-built for a decentralized social graph and creator economies across interoperable apps. Primary use cases include onchain social media and feeds, profiles/follows, Open Actions (collects, tips, subscriptions), social gaming, identity, and reputation—all enabled by micro-fee transactions. Key performance: avg gas cost sub-cent in GHO, block speed in low seconds, throughput in the hundreds+ TPS range, and activity skewed to posts/follows/collects rather than DeFi TVL (vs Ethereum L1’s ~12s blocks and much higher fees).
What makes Lens unique compared to other blockchain networks?
Lens is unique because it bakes social graph primitives (profiles, follows, Open Actions) and verifiable data-availability tooling into the base chain, making social data portable across apps and cheap to write. It uses GHO as the native gas for predictable, sub-cent fees, targets low-seconds block times and hundreds+ TPS, and is optimized for high-frequency social activity—contrasting with general-purpose L2s and L1 Ethereum (~12s blocks, lower TPS, volatile fee tokens).
What is the gas token used for Lens, and how to get it?
Lens uses GHO as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GHO by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
