The Aave developers have announced a new solution called Bonsai, which is designed to increase the number of processed transactions in the Lens Protocol blockchain-based social network ecosystem.
The solution aims to address the scalability issue faced by social networks on the blockchain.
With a huge number of transactions generated in such projects, slow networks are not suitable for them.
Bonsai provides scalability while still maintaining the core values and guarantees of the blockchain.
Stani Kulechov, the CEO of Aave and founder of Lens Protocol, believes that by scaling decentralized social platforms, they can compete with conventional social media projects based on Web2 technologies.
As part of the Bonsai solution, a significant part of the data from transactions will be stored in an off-chain layer, which DeFi applications will be able to access.
This will bypass the block size limits on the Ethereum network and other blockchains.
The solution also has a special verification component to verify user transactions.
The developers began testing the Lens Protocol in February last year and deployed it on the main Polygon network in May.
