According to Golden Finance, Lens Protocol announced a partnership with Avail, which is building a unified layer to bring together all Web3 users and developers. This strategic partnership gives Lens scalability, verifiable transactions, and cost-effective infrastructure for decentralized social networks. Lens will leverage Avail's Data Availability Layer (Avail DA), which is highly optimized for the ZK technology stack and makes high-traffic use cases such as social media possible on the blockchain. The next generation of Lens is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. As the only on-chain agnostic DA layer that combines KZG commitments and data availability sampling (DAS), Avail provides Lens with the necessary infrastructure to scale to support millions of users. This partnership positions Lens as one of the most resilient, future-oriented, and cost-effective open social networks.
