What is lens.fun?
The Solution: A Curated Ecosystem
lens.fun is a decentralized content ecosystem designed to filter, surface, and reward high-quality, "real" content.
It is not just a feed or a discovery tool. It is a complete system with its own economic and governance model built to solve the "Signal vs. Hype" problem.
The lens.fun ecosystem consists of three main participants:
Creators: The individuals who produce the "real words" and in-depth analysis.
Curators: The community members (powered by token mechanics and expertise) who identify and vote on high-quality content.
Readers: The end-users who consume the filtered, high-signal content.
More Than a Tool
Unlike algorithmic tools that predict what you might like, lens.fun uses a human-centric and economically-driven governance system to verify what is valuable.
The core of lens.fun is its Curation Mechanism, which is powered by our token. This mechanism (detailed in the 'HOW' section) is designed to create a self-sustaining economy where Hype is financially disincentivized, and quality is directly rewarded.
Defining the "Fun": The Joy of Discovery
The "fun" in lens.fun is not about entertainment; it is about the "Aha!" moment of discovery.
It is the satisfaction that comes from finding a piece of content that provides genuine insight, saving you hours of searching through noise. It is the "fun" of participating in an economy where you know your attention (as a Reader) or your effort (as a Creator and Curator) is focused on real, sustainable value.
