Aave Team Launches 'Decentralized Social Graph' With Lens Protocol Venture - The Defiant

If those sites exposed their underlying social graphs and the associated content, other developers could take that data band build websites that worked differently. One could make a version of Facebook that shows users the posts of everyone they follow using nothing but a simple reverse chronological sorting mechanism. Another could build a version of Twitter that puts the focus on photos rather than text. 

Ownership of a Lens profile is represented by an NFT, which is the key primitive of the whole network. “Composable, non-custodial, and permissionless, these dynamic NFTs contain the history of all posts, mirrors, comments, and other content you generate,” the post explains. 

Individual pieces of content will also be collectable , which means they will also be tradeable.

When a piece of content is “mirrored” it’s possible for the person who shared it to earn a cut if their Mirror yields a sale.

If a profile gets big enough and wants to start managing its community, it can be turned into a DAO

The Aave team is inviting developers to start building on Lens now, and there’s a grants program for those who need support to bring their idea to life.
