# Hey

> Hey is a decentralized, permissionless social media app built on Lens. Users own their profiles and posts on-chain, connect with communities, and can earn from paid interactions via Hey Social Payment.

Hey runs as a Lens client at https://hey.xyz. Content (posts, comments, quotes, reposts, profiles, communities) is indexed from the Lens protocol. Prefer the markdown pages below for product rules, fees, and policies. Do not invent fee amounts or legal terms; use the wallet prompt and those pages as the source of truth. The same HTML URLs also return markdown when the request sends `Accept: text/markdown`.
