- 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.

- Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose

Got your body and my mind going
Back to love that's broken with my emotions
Every touch you're feeling lost in the momentAlthough, every time you're holding me closer
Feels like we're just falling apart
Don't know if it's love or it's over
Like a fire burning down to a spark
We just dancing all alone in the dark

This fosters collaboration, innovation, and a more cohesive online experience.
User Control and Privacy: Web 3.0 empowers users with greater control over their personal data. With decentralized identity systems, individuals can manage their own digital identities and choose what information they share and with whom. Privacy is enhanced, as users have the ability to revoke access and protect their data from unauthorized use.
Tokenization and Incentives: Web 3.0 introduces token economies, where digital assets and tokens represent value within decentralized networks. This enables new business models and incentivizes user participation. Tokens can be used for governance, rewards, micropayments, and fostering community engagement, creating more sustainable and inclusive ecosystems.
Enhanced AI and Machine Learning: Web 3.0 will leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in a decentralized manner. AI algorithms can operate on distributed data while respecting privacy and security, leading to more accurate insights and personalized experiences without compromising user control.
Immersive Experiences: Web 3.0 will enable immersive experiences through virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Users will engage with digital content and interact with others in virtual worlds, transforming how we learn, work, and socialize online.
The future of Web 3.0 holds tremendous potential to reshape the internet landscape, fostering trust, openness, and empowerment. As we embrace decentralization, interoperability, user control, and emerging technologies, we can unlock new opportunities and build a more user-centric and equitable digital world.

- A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a type of data structure that can be used as a substitute for or complement to blockchains.
Here’s what it means:
• Directed: Each connection has a defined direction, so there’s a single directional flow from one node to another.
• Acyclic: Vertices never loop back on themselves, meaning transactions are immutable.
• Graph: A data structure composed of nodes and the connections between them (which can represent transactions/token movements).
So how are DAGs different from blockchains?
While blockchains are also directed and acyclic, they are made up of blocks of grouped transactions connected in a chain and authenticated by miners/validators. In contrast, DAGs are an expanding graph of individual transactions where new transactions validate previous transactions.
Pros vs. cons:
DAGs are highly efficient and viable infrastructure for micropayments. However, because DAGs are secured by network traffic, low transaction volume can leave them vulnerable to attack.
Are DAGs used in crypto?
Absolutely. Both the Avalanche and Fantom networks combine DAG and blockchain structures in their consensus protocols. For example, the Fantom network uses its DAG 2.0 model to stack transactions and approve them simultaneously before incorporating them into a blockchain for greater security. Other protocols, such as IOTA and Hedera, use DAG-based systems without blockchains.
What’s next for DAGs?
The Chainlink Labs Research Team has published an array of cutting-edge research around DAGs that could potentially lead to the next scalability breakthrough for Web3. Highlights include:
• BFT on a DAG: https://blog.chain.link/bft-on-a-dag/
• Execution and Parallelism: https://blog.chain.link/execution-and-parallelism-for-dag-based-bft-consensus/
• MEV Resistance on a DAG: https://blog.chain.link/mev-resistance-on-a-dag/

- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
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 Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai 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.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work 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.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

- Nobody asked, but here’s my 2 MATIC (with a 20% referral fee) on the evolution of online interactions:
There once was a time when the “like” (👍) was the be-all and end-all in terms of measuring content effectiveness.
In the early days of social media, "likes" played a significant role in determining a post's popularity and reach. This was particularly true on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where users could easily show their approval of a post by clicking the "like" button.
Likes were seen as ~thee~ measure of social validation. They also played a role in determining which content was promoted on a user's newsfeed or discover page, as posts with more likes were given priority 📈
However, in recent years, many social media platforms have started to de-emphasize likes as a measure of success. Some have even experimented with hiding like counts altogether in an effort to reduce the pressure on users to seek validation through likes and to promote more authentic engagement.
The goalposts of metrics are changing.
Vanity out. Value in.
Web2 platforms like Instagram and TikTok began treating content that had a high save to like ratio more favorably in terms of the algorithm 📱📊
And you know what’s better than a save (which is essentially a glorified bookmark)?
A collect. (Especially when it’s paid.)
This is the future of social media.
Even those on web2 social are catching on.
We’re no longer just interacting for the sake of interacting.
The possibility for more intentional responses encourages more intentional creation. And more intentional creation contributes to a value exchange that fosters a self-sustaining ecosystem ♻️
Here’s the desired hierarchy specific to #Lens:
#Collect - I need to own it
#Mirror - I need others to see it
#Comment - I need to share my opinion about it
#Like - This resonates
Do you see how little the L compares to the MCC in terms of existence?
Now, not every piece of content we make is necessarily created for the sake of attracting a lot of engagement or for making a lot of money. And to an extent, likes will always matter to one degree or another because they help indicate how much said content resonates with one's audience 👥
But it’s interesting to see the role value plays and what value means when both creators and collectors can engage on social media in ways that have not been possible previously.
I’m excited to continue to explore this relationship on @lensprotocol and I’m grateful for everyone who’s here now on the journey 🥹
What kind of value are you hoping to bring to and receive from Lens?
