- Merry Christmas! 🎄
- Feels like @lensprotocol is dropping the ball right now by gatekeeping this platform so hard while Twitter is fumbling. Would have been a perfect opportunity to convert folks onto the platform en masse.
Anyone disagree? Any reason why they shouldn't?
- Everyone around is saying that JPEGs are going to zero. Perfect time for me to spend thousands on a digital squiggly line!
Welcome home to Squiggle #3066!
- Allow us to reintroduce ourselves...meet the native hyperscaling solution for Lens, Momoka! Momoka is an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyperscale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Momoka.
Momoka serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Momoka doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks. Momoka makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Since yesterday, Momoka is already being beta tested on Lenster, Lenstube, Orb, Buttrfly and Phaver.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Momoka.
To make it easier to find any transaction made with Momoka, we built the Momoka Explorer (http://momoka.lens.xyz) to track and find Momoka transactions and to monitor the throughput speed of Momoka.

- Flipping between the different Lens-powered apps is such a zero-to-one moment.
You're on Lenster and see all your network's content on your feed in Twitter style.
You then flip over to Lenstube, and that same network is now feeding you video-optimized content.
And so on, for each app in the Lensverse... delivering you the network you care about, optimized for the use case you're looking for (whether that's short-form content, video, pictures, etc).
No worrying about different logins. No need to make sure you're following the right accounts in the right platforms. It all just works seamlessly. It is LEGITIMATELY a better UX than web2 social media, even without all the benefits of decentralization.

Well done to @stani.lens and the whole ecosystem. Very excited for the future of Lens.
- I'm curious if anyone is already building a web3-native Discord-like app powered by @lensprotocol?
The potential:
- Seamless token-gating (without the need for 3rd parties like CollabLand)
- Easier identity authentication to prevent scams
- Full composability with Lens network
- GM Lensverse! 🌿💚
We have the opportunity to build something very impactful here. I am PUMPED for the future of web3 social!
