- incredibly based
- best breakdown of justifications i've seen
sharing for exposure
- Thanks for this; we need more people speaking and discussing this.
Let me address some of these points:
**Network effect**
ZK chains inherit the liquidity from other ZK chains. In turn, that means the zkSync Era chain which has tons of liquidity already deployed to it and native support for USDC (+ most tokens). Each ZK chain can freely use the liquidity of each ZK chain. In turn, this means that as more services/protocols support zkSync Era, Lens Network inherits that support. Also, tons and tons of other ZK chains are planned and coming, in turn, again, as they onboard and bring their users, liquidity and services, Lens network will benefit from it all. This gives a better network effect than we currently have on Polygon. In turn, these services can be deployed to Lens network directly. We will also add that Lens Network is an EVM-compatible chain, so using the Lens Network will be as easy as using Polygon, which will be even easier as we build incredible onboarding and wallet tools.
**Tokens**
Bridging will be supported from day one, and we will make this as easy as possible for people to do; when coming from Polygon > Lens network, the gas will be cheap and should not be a problem if we make it a 1 click process; it is like sending money from A > B. I hear you about the liquidity of a token created on Lens Network. It may not have liquidity elsewhere if you create your meme token on Lens Network but having the liquidity on the network probably is enough in itself. As ZK chains inherit each other, in turn, inheriting liquidity, you get this power of not a single network having to do it all. This fundamentally comes down to amazing UX and gasless experiences of bridging, but I do not think it takes away empowerment to create memecoin; I think it empowers it even more with distribution on all ZK chains instantly.
**Existing work**
Open actions will not work on the new network but it will be small changes to redeploy them to the Network. It will be harder if the services used in the open actions are not supported on the ZK chains, but I truly believe the end game is not OpenSea; the end game is native marketplaces built into the apps, and those experience layers can be created on Lens Network. I believe the Lens Network will open up even more cases for Open Actions, but I do agree existing integrations may not be doable from day 1 if that service is not living on Lens Network. We are making a list of providers and will chat with them about support, so if you have any ping them across.
**Builder fatigue**
I understand this and agree that it becomes harder for builders to keep migrating. Lens Network is the end game, and we really want to make something that can change the world. We will be creating more advanced tooling to improve the developer experience for builders and truly allow them to build something great. Maybe some apps will choose not to migrate, and some will, but in the end, we also get some new apps, and overall, every single successful thing in the world has had to shapeshift and make hard calls for a better future. We will be giving away grants to sponsor builders to migrate to bring that monetary incentive and will help with this every step of the way. The new protocol on the Lens Network will have the same concepts. It will just be an even better protocol which empowers even more innovation.
**Premature**
I would argue against this quite highly; we created Momoka as Polygon could not handle the traffic; even now, we are paying 10-50p per follow, post or any action on peak times of Polygon, as this is abstracted away from the user they do not feel it, but we have already hit the end of what's possible on Polygon. Momoka is, in turn, a great outside-thinking approach, but we are true believers in pure onchain ownership, something which is yours, something you can own, tokenise and use, just like your home, you can rent it out, just like your car, you can use it as a taxi, we want everything you do to have some form of ownership, and that's not possible even with the levels now. We can not truly build anything when John, down the road, can load his PC up, spam the network with Monkey NFTs, and take Lens down or force us to pay 50p per action. Polygon is a shared network. You are lucky to get 50TPS in the network if empty; Momoka is already doing 5-10TPS. We are forced to do offchain actions to allow us to scale hurting our end vision. Lens Network can handle 20-50x the TPS at 20-50x cheaper costs. We are hitting bottlenecks on the network layer and having to do workarounds for it; in turn, Lens Network we are the network layer, allowing us to innovate and fine-tune the network to be, as it should, a decentralised social network.
The real thing we should think about here is whether we truly want to change the world; if we know the setup we have right now is not going to make it due to scale and cost, in turn, we are seeing this already, why would we wait until more users onboard, more users give up because transactions are backed up, more users get a negative experience due to baseline Network layer factors. If we want to change the world, we must make the move now. If we stay on this train, every open action, app, and user will be worthless as the protocol will fail, and in turn, we all will fail.
Months of research have gone into this end goal, and we truly believe that with ZK tech and Lens Network, we can create something that solves the corporate-owned lead social we see today. It's not going to be easy; it's going to be an amazing and hard journey, but I truly am in this to change the foundations of socials.
Hope this insight helps
