Can someone explain to me why a social protocol needs an evm and zk proofs for every state change pls https://x.com/LensProtocol/status/1790458242855751950

Reading the blogpost would help. Not every state change needs “an evm and zkproofs”

from what i understand lens data which is on-chain (posts, user data, social graph, and reactions) is going to move to an evm-based validium blockchain which needs to post state proofs to an L1 am i misunderstanding something? https://app.t2.world/article/clw6l2z0018727620mc1dq26xr2 - this is the blogpost i read

A little bit only! It’s about design choices: Lens Network believes on everything onchain. If we come up with an architecture that makes onchain-ness light and easy for builders and users, why is it overengineered? Lens will be hybrid as well - in order for lighter proofs for social data.

Validium is a lean scaling solution as well. I dont see posting proofs as overengineering, but curious to know why you think this. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/scaling/validium/

i suppose we mostly differ philosophically. imo the use of a blockchain for this is overkill because social doesn't need strong consistency guarantees, state growth is unsustainable due to lack of state rent, and it leads to premature ossification of the protocol and weird abstractions like everything-is-an-NFT
