About Orb.club
Orb.club is a Web3 social mobile application built on the Lens Protocol, designed to reshape social networking through tokenized communities called "Clubs," collectible posts, sticker packs, and native tipping mechanisms. Its core value proposition lies in giving users true ownership of their social graph and content, while enabling creators to monetize directly through on-chain interactions rather than relying on centralized platform algorithms.
The platform addresses key pain points of traditional social media, including data sovereignty, opaque content distribution, and unfair revenue sharing. By leveraging ERC-6551 standard, each NFT can own its own smart contract wallet, enabling complex token interactions and new dimensions of digital ownership within communities. In 2025, Orb was acquired by MaskDAO and migrated to Lens Chain, integrating with the broader Mask Network ecosystem to build a decentralized social infrastructure.
Regarding development in the past six months (2026-03-12 to 2026-09-12), no reliable public information is available. The most recent verifiable event remains the MaskDAO acquisition completed in 2025. No significant negative incidents within the last two years were identified in available sources.
In the past six months, Orb.club has achieved significant milestones. It was strategically acquired by Mask Network and integrated into the MaskDAO ecosystem, becoming the largest native social app on Lens Protocol with over 50,000 monthly active users. The platform launched Orb Tribes, tokenized on-chain communities with treasuries, native tokens, and governance. It also completed migration to the Lens Chain, enabling low-cost data storage and verification. Future priorities include leveraging MaskDAO infrastructure (Next.ID, Web3.bio, Firefly.social) to build a "Web3 Tencent" ecosystem, focusing on real-time mobile experiences, co-created creator tribes, and positioning Orb as the cultural hub for on-chain trends.
