- Re-upping my post from 1.5 years ago on "layer 3s":
https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/09/17/layer_3.html
The summary is that layer 3s don't magically improve throughput even more, though they can reduce some fixed costs of batch publishing and deposits/withdrawals.

- 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.

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.

- @stani.lens I am once again asking for MOMOKA access so i can use lens, I promises i will bring content worth having on this platform.
- Collect worked as well 👌
- The Moon is pretty, isn't it?
- What's wrong with lens it won't let me comment on any post and asks fees for every action.
I don't mind paying fees but why do i have to keep approving trx?

- Gm, Been a while How is everyone here?
- Super amazing, is there a tutorial on how to create a vote? Also will there be a possibility to create a snapshot directly from Lenster? 👀
- gm Lenster fam 🌸
We are excited to announce the launch of our new Snapshot voting feature. Now you can have your say on important community decisions by simply voting from Lenster.
If you paste any Snapshot URL, it will turn into an interactive widget where you can vote for a proposal. You can also use it with your Lens follower NFTs by configuring Snapshot strategies 🚀

- I been seeing a lot of activity on twitter on air-drop after $ARB and I think it will be very harmful
**NEW USERS** who are getting into airdrop without having a grasp on all these security points the one should know to be safe in the place. Also
**INDURSTRIES** because of massing botting and airdrop hunting problem (who use more than 1 account just to farm tokens) I have seen few project trying to solve this issue (BrightID and PROOF OF HUMANITY) but these are also not perfect.
Hope we find a solution to this soon.
And I think It's due to lack of patience and high amount greed which will cause a big crypto airdrop scam in near future (Prediction). Please stay safe
- I think I will start a series on how to stay safe on internet and web3.
Sounds like a great idea to me 😄

- ARB distribution model was designed by Nansen 🔵 🦅
+2,300,000 addresses bridged to Arbitrum before the snapshot.
Online 625,143 were eligible for ARB. Only around 30%!
What can we learn from their report?
5 key take-aways so you don't get excluded from airdrops ⚡
1/5
Eligibility Criteria:
- Conducted transactions: number, value, and time thresholds
- Arbitrum Nova: bridging & conducted transactions
- Dapps and Governance activity
- Liquidity providing
💡 Take-away: the more different activities, the better. Be active!
2/5
USD Value. I know this is a given, but it's important to stress out.
• The majority of wallets transact on small USD amounts
• The majority of wallets got small airdrops (USD value terms)
💡 Take-away: more volume = bigger airdrop. But you didn't need to be a whale to get it!
3/5
The number of transactions
• The majority of the wallets made 1-2 transactions (1M+ wallets)
• Only 100k wallets made 50-100 transactions
Median = 3
Average = 28
💡 Take-away: more transactions = more valuable airdrop.
Become a recurring user.
4/5
Sybil wallets:
• The Arbitrum Foundation wanted to exclude sybil wallets from getting the $ARB airdrop
• Sybil wallets = wallets with similar/fake activity, with the pure intention of hunting for an airdrop
• 172k wallets excluded
💡 Take-away: be user, not a "hunter"
5/5
Negative criteria ⚠️
This is a new concept: some actions subtracted points, i.e. they hurt the user's individual points to get ARB.
These users got less ARB:
• All transactions in a 48h period
• Interacted with only 1 smart contract
• Low ETH balance in Snapshot day
There's a lot more data in their official report.

- I wanted to try something new.
This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.
1 matic to collect, only open for 24 hours. 25% mirror referral
