Avara, the parent company of Aave, has announced the release of a developer preview for Lens V3.
This latest update to their decentralized social media graph offers developers more dynamic features and prepares for a smoother transition from existing applications. The rollout occurred on November 12.
Enhanced Features for Social Media Applications
Lens V3 is engineered to empower developers with a comprehensive on-chain toolkit designed to integrate modular social features seamlessly. These features include immutable account creation, customizable social feeds, and diverse membership groups. Such innovations aim to streamline the user experience and expand the functionality within decentralized applications.
Developers will benefit from new login capabilities supporting email or phone-based authentication processes, alongside fresh software development kits (SDKs) and APIs.
Additionally, the update introduces Social Legos, which developers can utilize to build adaptable social interactions within their applications. Depending on the application’s needs, these modules can be configured as mutable to adapt to community governance or as immutable smart contracts.
Moreover, ens V3 debuts Graphs that enhance account connectivity, enabling developers to leverage existing network effects more effectively. These connections can be structured as free, token-gated, or paid, providing flexibility in building engagement strategies.
Lens Storage Nodes will also allow for decentralized data storage management through smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
