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.

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 (momoka.lens.xyz)) to track and find Momoka transactions and to monitor the throughput speed of Momoka.

23 Reflecting Your Identity with Disco — Evin McMullen

Evin McMullen is the co-founder and CEO at Disco. A company building tools to make it easy to carry your data from web2 to web3, under your ownership and control. Your identity for the metaverse. Using Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials.

In this episode we talk about Evin’s origin stories before web3 and crypto, how the Disco team came together, and the community design superpowers unlocked by combining Disco with tools from Guild.

And we jam a bit about Boys Club ~ A social club bringing new voices to the new internet, a collective for women and non-binary people, of which Evin is a member ~ as a solid recent example of community building and creating a space for people to connect, learn from each other, and party together.

How to run a Momoka Verifier

This video walks through how to run a Momoka Verifier on your local machine 👟

The Momoka Verifier enables you to operate a trustless verifier node that validates LENS DA publications in real-time.

It can also serve as an indexer, allowing you to stream and index the data yourself.

This open-source solution relies exclusively on software that you can run independently, without any dependency on LENS.

This ensures that even if LENS were to cease operation, you would retain access to your content, maintain proof of ownership, and continue to utilize it, all thanks to a decentralized data availability storage layer.
