Sometime in 2023 I was really obsessed with the lens profile because it was assumed to be a criteria for a lens airdrop. Unlike other profile domain name where you pay money to get a domain name, Lens profile was different, you have to merit it. In 2022 a platform called Phaver was launched, it’s a lens dapp, a new decentralized social media at that time. The first people that used Phaver during those people were given a lens profile name for free. If you needed to get a lens profile after that, you had to grind it, you can grind for it through social media promoting. If you link your Phaver to your twitter and promote lens profile and Phaver, you might just be whitelisyed to mint a lens profile for free.
Access to lens profile was so had to get, the value to get a lens profile for high. I tried buying a lens profile one time and it was worth $150, almost bought it, but considered how I will be buying a lens profile that has a name that I wouldn’t like. I love my crypto pseudonymous name which is readthisplease. This name is very significant in my life, it marks my crypto journey and success, so I refrained from spending over $100 on a name I might regretting using in the future. Few weeks later, lens twitter account posted an airdrop hint, this pumped the floor price to $300 or more. I completely gave up on spending that amount to get a profile, what if I spent that and the value of the airdrop is worth less than $200, that would have been a complete wasted effort. So I decided to wait.
Today, after more than 13 months of waiting, lens can allow you mint your lens profile without being white listed, you can mint without any hassle. Minting a lens profile now cost 8 Matic, the floor price has gone down to 4.7 USDC.
