This approach enables the network to overcome the blockchain trilemma, ensuring decentralization, security, and scalability. The network's design prioritizes openness and fairness, allowing anyone to connect and participate while preventing data monopolies and censorship. By leveraging ZKsync's ZK Stack, Lens Network achieves high transaction throughput and data integrity, making it suitable for mass adoption.

The network's infrastructure will initially launch as an EVM-compatible Validium chain secured by Ethereum and later transition to a Volition network built with ZKsync's ZK Stack. This will enable simultaneous instant transactions while ensuring data integrity. The network's focus on user experience aims to attract mainstream users and create more open and fair social spaces. The Lens team will support a smooth migration process for applications transitioning to the new network.

The goal is to create a shared social network and cross-chain protocol, hosting its main hub on Lens Network with zkSync and allowing instances to be deployed on other EVM networks and non-EVM networks. Developers can build social applications on any supported network and connect with the Lens user base across networks via technology like CCIP. Users and applications can continue using the existing Lens Protocol or migrate to Lens Network, with the Lens team supporting a smooth transition.

The new Lens Protocol will act as a social networking hub for the entire Lens user base, offering a seamless user experience on par with web2 applications while providing next-generation ownership and monetization capabilities. From the start, users can expect gasless and signless transactions with embedded wallet support. Bridging across various networks will be effortless, and transactions will feel instant thanks to subsecond completion times. This focus on user experience aims to attract mainstream users and create more open and fair social spaces.
