- Momoka, the new infrastructure powering @lensprotocol, just hit 500,000 transactions at a total cost of ~ $173
With these updates our infrastructure is now ~250x less expensive while being ~165x more scalable than in the past. 🤯
Momoka Stats
💰 Cost of 100,000 transactions:
Old infrastructure ~ $10,000.00
Momoka ~$40.00
Difference ~250,000% less expensive ⚡️
📈 Scalability of 100,000 transactions
Old infrastructure (~30 TPS) 55 minutes
Momoka (~50,000 TPS) 2 seconds
Difference ~ 165,000% more scalable ⚡️
Here’s how it works 🌫️
Blockchains today cannot scale to social TPS.
Traditional databases scale to up to millions of operations per second while most blockchains max out at a few hundred.
This is mainly because blockchain storage is an expensive bottleneck in terms of both cost and scalability.
Blockchain storage is more than just storage - it also enables composability, allowing your state to also be executed with other smart contracts and programs.
But with most social use cases, especially non-financial, that power and composability is not needed, so why would we continue to use it in this way?
For decentralized social applications, two of the main characteristics needed are permanent and immutable storage tied to a user’s identity.
What if those characteristics could be derived from another infrastructure layer, but at a much lower cost and with more scalability?
In the past, all Lens transactions were processed on the EVM via Polygon network.
What is the EVM at its root? It is a big state machine, holding the entire history of state changes of what has happened in what are known as archive nodes.
The expensive part of using EVM networks is performing these state updates.
BUT! The EVM only forces cost when you want to change the state in the next block.
The EVM does **not** charge anything to simulate if something could of happened on a certain block.
This means that you can leverage this to check that a transaction has been signed by the correct access control and would of passed for free *without any gas needed*.
When you do an EVM contract call, you are signing the transaction with your private key. The EVM verifies this and injects key helpers like msg.sender which is your public key to allow contracts to know it was you who did that.
Since transactions can be run for free to prove something has the correct access control conditions to run it, what if we swapped the storage updates to a place that can handle high TPS, cheap, immutable, one time payments and will be guaranteed for at least 100 years?
Momoka is an optimistic hybrid layer 3 solution from Lens Protocol that uses data availability storage on Arweave/Bundlr along with transaction proofs on Polygon to enable highly scalable and low-cost social graph data storage and verification. It allows proving social graph transactions would be valid on-chain without actually submitting them, enabling greater scalability while maintaining verifiability and user ownership.
Arweave is a decentralized blockchain-like infrastructure protocol, built specifically for storing data forever for a one off cost, and was launched over 6 years ago.
Bundlr Network is an Arweave scaling solution built to handle 50,000+ TPS. It functions similarly to a rollup in that it batches multiple transactions together and posts them to the underlying network.
An important characteristic of Bundlr is that it supports EVM addresses, allowing you to build EVM tech state on Arweave ⚡️. They also allow you to pay fees in any EVM native token you wish!
To enable this new functionality on Lens, Momoka introduces two new pieces of architecture - the Submitter and the Verifier.
Submitters are responsible for validating and constructing the metadata and submitting it to Arweave, providing proofs that anyone can contest.
The Verifier software listens for publications sent from whitelisted submitter addresses and verifies their validity.
Anyone can run a verifier using open-source software with a few commands.
https://github.com/lens-protocol/momoka
Momoka is not limited to blocks and max limits as the restriction has been removed due to storage on Bundlr/Arweave.
Momoka gets timestamp proofs from Bundlr to be able to keep chain and off-chain actions in ordering and also to have a third party timestamp to avoid trust assumptions on Momoka.
With Momoka, users still own their content as it’s not possible to action a Momoka transaction if you do not pass the access control on-chain.
Momoka is fully trustless – anyone can check proofs with their own Polygon archive node!
We believe Momoka is core to the future of web3 social, enabling applications to scale to tens of thousands of operations per second while still enabling the differentiating features that make web3 social unique and special.

Missed the Ethereum community’s takeover of Paris this week?
No worries, here’s a recap of the biggest advances unveiled at this year’s event 👇
1) Lens protocol V2 🍃
The Lens team unveiled their V2 system & its new functionalities
These include “Open Actions,” which enable any external smart contract actions on any Lens publication. Also new is Profiles V2, which uses ERC-6551 so Lens profiles can own other NFTs
2) UniswapX 🦄
Uniswap Labs unveiled UniswapX -- a new trading protocol
The system intros a mechanism called “Dutch orders,” where a trade order’s price gradually declines until filled
It offers gas-free transactions, no-cost failed txs, and protection against MEV to boot
3) Chainlink CCIP 🔗
Chainlink Labs had big news this week too, having launched its anticipated Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol on a handful of popular DeFi chains
The big idea? Unlock new cross-chain economies
4) Starknet Appchains 🔶
Build your own app-specific chains, Starknet style!
The L2’s team just announced the Starknet Stack will support deploying customizable appchains
5) Gnosis Pay 💳
Self-custodying crypto onchain, but spending it with a Visa card when you need to?
That’s the Gnosis Pay way!
GnosisDAO just revealed this new decentralized payment network and an associated Visa-powered Gnosis Card
6) & 7) Mantle + Linea alpha 🔲
Mantle Network launched its mainnet alpha, while Consensys fully opened its Linea mainnet alpha at EthCC
Mantle is very modular, while Linea is a zkEVM
Both are pointing to bold scaling frontiers ahead for Ethereum!
8) EVM extends 📈
In EVM news from EthCC, Tezos intro'd Etherlink (an EVM-compatible rollup with Tezos as the L1) + Solana Foundation welcomed Solang, a compiler that allows writing Solidity smart contracts on Solana

- We're excited to share the 3️⃣ new Aave grants awarded during June. Let's take a look at what they're building in the Aave ecosystem 👻
**1️⃣ Governance Facilitation for Aave by Boardroom**
Boardroom has contributed a weekly Governance Recap to the Aave DAO since last September. This new grant will see the recaps continue for another 6 months.
**2️⃣ Libree DAO’s Treasury Credit Delegation**
Libree has created a Credit Delegation plugin that can be used by any existing and new Aragon DAO. This plugin allows DAOs to deposit their treasury in AAVE and grant a credit delegation on other DAOs, projects, or users. This will enable DAOs to make their treasury more capital efficient and to execute automatically approved credit delegation proposals.
**3️⃣ Decentralized Analytics for Monitoring GHO’s Health and Stability**
@dapplooker.lens will create comprehensive and customizable dashboards for @gho.lens with deep analytics & multiple parameters. A portion of funds will be used to engage the community on Metrics DAO to create new analytics.
