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.

"Tower Records Shibuya - Temple of Music" series (April 2023)

From the moment you step through the doors, you know you're in for something special. Japan is a music lover's paradise. There's a vibe at Tower Records that's unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. It draws local and international music aficionados who know that music is more than just background noise - it's a way of life.

This photo series is a dedication to that.
