Airdrop Details

While the platform has yet to issue its own token, its ecosystem is already filled with a variety of products ready to be trialed. Activities potentially leading to an airdrop include:

Possessing a special Lens Protocol profile NFT;

• Engaging with other profiles and accounts;

• Creating content and interacting with diverse applications within the Lens Protocol ecosystem.

We'll next delve into the most prominent Lens Protocol applications, which stand a solid chance of getting an airdrop.

Lens Protocol Profile

This unique Polygon-based NFT allows the holder to share content and interact with others on the platform. Initially, as the collection was launched, the profile cost $5. However, the minting period has long expired, which means you can now purchase this NFT on OpenSea, with prices starting at around $170. 

Given the considerable amount, it's wise to consider whether procuring a profile aligns with your risk management approach.
