Lens permissions transfer to the Mask team, a new pattern emerges in the Web3 social protocol ecosystem

【Crypto World】The Web3 social track has been quite lively recently. Mask founder Suji Yan recently commented on Neynar’s acquisition of Farcaster: healthy competition is good for the ecosystem. He openly admitted that he had heard some rumors before but never confirmed them with the Neynar team. The implication is that he is optimistic about this move. Suji also specifically mentioned that he is a minor shareholder of Neynar and that there is deep cooperation between the two on technology and product levels. He highly praises the Neynar team, saying they are a group of very outstanding people.

Even more exciting is the change on the Lens protocol side. Aave founder Stani announced recently that the management authority of Lens will be officially transferred to the Mask team. The original technical team will shift to a technical advisory role. What does this mean? It signifies that Mask’s position and influence in the Web3 social ecosystem are further strengthening, and it also indicates that the highly watched social protocol Lens is entering a new development stage. Behind this series of actions reflects the acceleration of integration and upgrading across the entire social Web3 track.
