Mask Network officially announced a new role — Steward of Lens Community (LC), simply put, a management role. What does this mean? Mask aims to work with Lens to push decentralized social from a niche hobby into mainstream visibility.

Speaking of which, the Mask team has been working on one thing: building a bridge between Web2 and Web3. They are not just talking about it but are actively taking action — long-term involvement and support for the development of decentralized social networks like Mastodon. This partnership with Lens is, to some extent, a continuation and deepening of their ongoing approach.

Currently, decentralized social has not yet broken through the circle limitations, and its activity level is not as explosive as some leading exchanges. As an experienced player in the Web3 social field, can Mask’s involvement bring new vitality to Lens? That depends on their future actual actions — whether they truly invest resources and user base, or just put on a front.

Anyway, having a big team seriously working on decentralized social is still good news for the entire ecosystem. We’ll just wait and see what moves they will make next.
