On 21 Feb, @LC hosted its first AMA under its new stewardship.
Co-hosted by @masknetwork and @LC, @suji_yan and @KimmoOrb answered community questions spanning crypto markets, product design, and technical architecture.
They broke down what’s next for Lens, and the roadmap is clear
Phase One: Fix the obvious usability issues.
@suji_yan flagged major friction points: login sessions are too short — no social app logs users out every 7 days; sessions could last longer, like in Facebook.
Storage is another bottleneck. DeSoc has relied heavily on IPFS and Arweave — solid infrastructure, but not optimised for rich multimedia.
WIP: New storage partnerships to lower costs, improve efficiency, and enable smoother uploads.
Phase Two: Wallet integrations done right.
Lens’ philosophy: Your existing wallet is Your login — no extra key systems like Nostr, Bluesky, or Farcaster.
@suji_yan emphasised broad login support and letting users manage assets on Ethereum L1, Base, BSC, or exchange-backed chains.
Interoperable by design — no walled gardens.
Phase Three: Growth.
@suji_yan shared that growth only comes after usability and integration are fixed.
The goal is to make decentralised social easy to use and interesting again, so builders would return.
Right now, Lens is still in Phase One.
@KimmoOrb emphasised the focus is on usability through backend improvements, rather than protocol changes.
Lens remains permissionless. Anyone can add new functionality easily via already existing logic such as custom actions.
