Can someone explain to me why a social protocol needs an evm and zk proofs for every state change pls

Being fully on-chain is not necessairly better, it depends on what you're aiming for. Lens always aimed for full decentralization on content monetization so that's what their are sticking with, and it comes with giving the proper protocol infra.

Degen was offline just yesterday.

Are you referring to collecting posts or something else?

Do you know of a dune dashboard that shows how frequently this feature is used?

Farcaster also has transactions without the overhead of being fully onchain - how does the protocol being onchain make this better?

Genuine questions btw, trying to learn

well, lens has actually onchain onprotocol financial transactions.

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?

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.

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

Yea, well, in that case it does feels overengineered (per your other cast). This channel is funny. Sub 400 ppl.  Lens is hot on fc!  / s

It’s not, just using zk because that’s the more recognisable term for validity proofs

Without looking into it at all, if zk = privacy of some user data, that feels like a positive outcome.

In the long run it might sense though but very faint hope on that if we think finance is core to Web3 Social.

So that you can hide the spammy nfts you get on every follow by just muting an entire network in your wallet.

Devs do something. Token isn’t pumping.
