Mask Network has officially taken the stewardship of Lens. The message is clear: the protocol phase is over-ish and the product battle must begin.In this special edition of Unlocking the Future, we go directly into the trenches to break down why the "infrastructure-only" era of DeSoc hit a ceiling and what Mask must do to fix it.

We cover:
> The Handover: Why Lens is passing the torch and what it means for the ecosystem.
> The Product Mandate: Why trust, culture and UX matter more than just "rails" in 2026.
> The Reality Check: What actually needs to change for decentralised social to survive and scale.

If you care about onchain social, creator economies, or why most decentralised platforms fail after shipping the tech, this one’s for you.
