Takeaway
“Second, social protocols produce significant amounts of data and transactions. Every retweet, post, comment, etc., is a transaction. At a meaningful social network size (10–100 million monthly active users) would produce significant transaction amounts that far exceed current chain throughputs (Polygon currently has roughly 400,000 daily active addresses). This is by far the most significant challenge.” Cross-shard Harmony ftw.
