FAQ
Why is the DA layer important for Lens?
The DA layer is vital for Validium. Unlike Ethereum, which stores all transaction data on-chain, Validium keeps it off-chain, ensuring availability through Avail DA. This guarantees data verifiability and accessibility, even when full transaction data is off-chain.
What is Lens’ goal and how does this partnership support it?
Lens aims to create resilient networks on Ethereum for a fair, open internet, where users own and control their profiles, posts, relationships, and data. By partnering with Avail, Lens enables builders to create scalable social applications while ensuring user ownership and a seamless experience. Avail DA provides cost-efficient, advanced tools for building social apps on Ethereum.
What are the key elements of Lens’ scaling solution?
Lens employs a modular architecture, consisting of the following:
1. ZKsync execution layer: Handles transaction processing and execution.
2. Avail Data Availability layer: Stores transaction data off-chain for scalability.
3. Ethereum settlement layer: Provides security and finality for critical transactions.
This modular design enhances scalability, reduces costs, and ensures the fundamental principles of blockchain technology are maintained.
Why should I build on Lens?
Building on Lens empowers the users of applications on top of it with true ownership of their data and connections, unlike traditional social media where corporations control everything. Lens’ decentralized model allows users to move freely between platforms, reducing censorship, providing evenly distributed monetization opportunities, and fostering innovation in a more open and resilient ecosystem.
How can I build on Lens now?
As a developer, you can build social applications on Lens. The Avail DA integration is currently not live and it will soon be available for developers in the next implementation of Lens.
