Lens Protocol

Lens Storage & Metadata

Lens content (post body, media, profile metadata) is stored as JSON following the Lens Metadata Standards and pinned to decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave, or Lens-hosted storage). The metadata standards define text-only posts, articles, images, video, audio, events, marketplace items, and more.
