History of Lens Protocol

Aave, a decentralized lending platform, is the mastermind behind Lens Protocol. Stani Kulechov, the founder and CEO of Aave, felt inspired to create Lens Protocol from discussions about the importance of having control over your digital identity. He’s a critic of the way Web 2.0 social media platforms determine what information users get to view and don't view, sell user data and limit their users’ abilities to take their content onto another platform.
