what's Hey?
Hey is a decentralized social media platform built on the Lens Protocol, enabling users to create, share, and monetize content directly onchain. It supports features like posting, following, live streaming, and community interactions in a web3 environment, where ownership of social graphs and data is controlled by users via blockchain technology. The platform integrates with Lens Chain for seamless onchain operations, allowing for NFT minting, profile customization, and premium subscriptions like Hey Pro, which offers verified badges, editable posts, and advanced moderation tools. Hey emphasizes community-driven growth, with tools such as Hey Score to measure user engagement and incentives through Gitcoin funding rounds. As part of the broader web3 social ecosystem, Hey facilitates direct creator monetization without intermediaries, leveraging protocols like Lens for portable identities and interactions across compatible dApps.
