please explain Lens network in simple terms. Read the thread on X and head my melted halfway through.
The announcement mentions Lens becoming a "cross-chain protocol". Will the protocol give access to content published on all networks or this will be handled by the API/SDK? Will apps have to choose which chains to integrate?
I saw on the photos that there was a path to privacy on Lens Network? What could that be used for? I also saw talk about a data availability solution. Is the team gonna develop their own or will the Network be choosing from market leaders like Celestia or Eigen Layer? Furthermore, will dapps be able to be cross chain? Another graphic suggested that Lens was gonna be somewhat crosschain.
• will lens network be a universal evm chain where anyone can deploy any contract? • what DA solution is used for the validium? • what’s the plan to get wallets to support lens network? this is critical. • any more details on the cross chain aspect? how will that work? where will collects be? • what’s the rough timeline for each phase? • how complex will the migration be for app devs? will lens api abstract all this? or will the api get lots of changes too like v2 migration?
What could the Lens team do better next time in terms of communicating such major changes?
What would you recommend for anyone unfamiliar with zksync to prepare for the change? Will there be certain tools/ apps/ wallets better to suited to interact with the Lens Network? Thinking more from a user perspective, not developer.
\- How seamless will the transition be for profiles, followers, and content? \- Since you can port Network onto other EVM chains, what advantages might the Network have on L2s or other EVM compatible chains with different structures to ETH mainnet?
How will data managed if the protocol is deployed on several networks? One of the main advantages IMO of lens is data integrity. How will ask the data be aggregated? Will be available in dune/bigquery? Will be able to track users post across different networks?
Will Lens Network be backward compatible for accessing/minting old collectible posts on Polygon?
will there be a migration of posts and profiles to the new network?
Do we have to pay gas or some briding fee like with Blast L2? Or is it just gonna be a "simple" migration. Also, will this affect existing dapps / mobile apps and will there be a main Lens app? What does it mean for creator tokens/p00ls? I have a shirt that says "Expanding Ethereum" from a hackathon so... I like this.
Hi there! Congratulations, this looks like an important milestone for the ecosystem, and it's great to see that innovation isn't slowing down. For people like me who have a basic understanding of the technological advancements being introduced, what new possibilities can we expect for users already familiar with Lens? What potential impacts and innovations do you foresee in the various social interactions on Lens with this enhanced technological robustness? Tks!
If Lens Network is a chain - could we hope for ETH native staking like Blast L2? This is a new potential source of revenue for Social apps
What are the implications for the tokens on Lens?
should we expect major breaking changes like lens v2 for builders ?
One-click: In-app wallet + AA creation + SIWE + LENS Sign in for user Will we have free (if possible) Smart Accounts factory for user on-boarding with social / email / with automatic sign-in?
Will there be a mechanisms in place to make content private or entirely hide it from the chain if we regret sharing it later on? This question been bugging me lately...
so Lens network is another L2 using zkstack gas fee is still eth?
To be honest this feels like a huge miss given the “America Onchain” moment coming from Coinbase. Is there a reason the tech is being prioritized over the product?
will $BONSAI move to Zk too?
