When the Lens Protocol is launched on Lens Network, it will also be able to function as a cross-chain protocol, with @zksync as its main hub.
Slow down...any chain?
1️⃣ Users will be able to take their Lens profiles to any chain.
🛠️ Developers will also be able to build applications on any network and connect to the Lens Protocol.
How is this possible?
The main hub of Lens Network will be with @zksync, yet instances of the Lens Protocol can be deployed on other ETH L2s, EVM chains, and even non-EVM networks, which resolve back to the main hub.

Introducing Lens Network. Bringing one billion users to Ethereum.
Our mission is to create an open and fair social network for all. No restrictions. A place where everyone can connect, participate, and build. We believe that digital social spaces will drive Ethereum's mainstream adoption.
We are excited to make a big bet to scale Lens on Ethereum, leveraging @zksync’s stack to achieve mainstream scale. It’s time to validate our thesis by building a network designed for social spaces.
Lens Protocol V2 – the next chapter in the evolution of Lens. V2 brings even greater control to builders and integrators as well as people exploring web3-powered experiences.
Lens V2 retains its characteristic open design space that gives developers and integrators the choice.
Lens Protocol V1 launched without a user interface and has since became a launchpad for creativity, inspiring community-built social media applications such as @lensterxyz, @orbapp_, @buttrfly_app, and others 💚
Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyperscale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
