Lens vs. Farcaster: The Battle of Web3 Social Media Platforms

The article compares the development of two decentralized social media platforms, Lens and Farcaster. Farcaster quickly grew into a phenomenal crypto social media platform by incentivizing users to post content using the "DEGEN" tag reward mechanism, attracting a large number of users and revenue. The Lens platform launched the BONSAI token, attempting to imitate Farcaster's success. The BONSAI token combines the features of ERC20 and ERC721, and despite price fluctuations, its use and acceptance on the Lens platform are gradually increasing. The Lens protocol, in collaboration with Bundlr Network and Arweave Ecosystem, launched an L3 extension solution called Momoka to improve transaction processing capability. Although Lens is still behind Farcaster in user activity and community size, it is working hard to narrow the gap through the Bonsai token and the Momoka solution.

Ethereum Storage Roadmap: Challenges and Opportunities

The article discusses the challenges brought by the ever-growing storage demand of Ethereum, particularly the inconsistency in storage behavior among full nodes. To solve this problem, the EIP-4444 and EIP-4844 standardized historical data deletion schemes are proposed. The article introduces the Ethereum Portal network and the EthStorage network as solutions, the former being a lightweight P2P network and the latter an incentivized modular storage network, both aiming to provide decentralized, Ethereum-aligned data storage and access. The article also proposes future development plans, including a decentralized Ethereum state network, proof of storage for dynamic-sized data, and decentralized access from browsers.

Quickly pass RGB and RGB++ protocol design in a few minutes:plain instructions

RGB++ is a new asset trading protocol that combines the RGB protocol and a public chain that supports UTXO to achieve globally verifiable asset data storage. It sacrifices privacy but improves ease of use and is suitable for Defi scenarios. Users can directly operate RGB asset containers on UTXO chains such as CKB/Cardano in their Bitcoin accounts, or use the transaction folding function to reduce costs. However, it should be noted that isomorphic binding requires a public chain that supports the UTXO model.
