I finally figured out Lens' business plan. Here's a breakdown:
How AAVE Can "Theoretically" Apply Office Spacing
Millions of Micro-Transactions
Every action on the platform (likes, posts, follows, tips, comments, mints, etc.) incurs a tiny transaction fee - fractions of a cent - paid in $GHO.
Rounded Fees
Like in Office Space, they could round up or insert a minor spread in the fee structure, skimming a micro-fee from each transaction.
Activity Farming = Growth Narrative
With every micro-transaction denominated in $GHO, AAVE can turn around and say: “Look how much activity is flowing through our stablecoin - billions in social transactions! Just use AAVE.”
Perception Boost = Valuation Boost
The illusion of further massive usage creates hype and justifies capital raises, liquidity incentives, or integrations. $GHO then looks heavily adopted, even if most transactions are “internal” aka you posting food pics on Lens.
