Decentralized media-sharing social media platform, built using Lens protocol. 🌿

Lenstube lives in the Polygon network so users can interact with dApp seamlessly with zero gas fees, the app is powered by Lens Protocol a decentralized social graph built by Aave companies 👻

THE PROBLEM

Currently, on web2 media platforms, creators have a lot of problems like privacy, censorship, and more. Especially for web3 content creators, the channels got banned and de-platformed without warning or any justification. Creators should have a platform where they can own their content and have a direct connection with their subscribers or members.

SOLUTION

We aimed to develop a decentralized media-sharing app, where content creators own their video content. By storing videos permanently in Arweave and the metadata stored permanently on-chain, no one can restrict users from creating content of their choice. Creators can always monetize their content with various means like nft modules and tips.
