  • Lens Protocol can handle multiple issues that Elon Musk was worried about, Kulechov said.

  • Kulechov sees potential for social gaming and music sharing pending addition to Lens Protocol and will continue developing on the platform.
  • Kulechov remained undeterred by the concerns of amassing enough users from an established platform and the recent crash of the TerraUSD stable coin.
