Light Protocol and Helius Labs have collaborated to launch a new technology called "ZK Compression," aimed at assisting applications within the Solana ecosystem to scale. This technology operates through state compression, allowing developers to store data in a lower-cost ledger space, significantly reducing storage expenses. While some Ethereum community members criticize this technology as being considered an L2 network, Solana's co-founder argues that this technology is an L2 network that does not require additional security measures.

<p>Breaking news from DeepTech TechFlow, the Solana ecosystem's Light Protocol and Helius Labs have announced the launch of the "ZK Compression" technology to assist applications on Solana in scaling.</p>
<p>ZK Compression operates through state compression, allowing developers to store certain types of data in Solana's inexpensive ledger space rather than costly account space. This technology significantly reduces storage costs, enabling developers to store a large number of compressed token accounts at a lower price.</p>
<p>Some members of the Ethereum community have criticized this new technology, suggesting that it should be classified as an L2 network.</p>
<p>Solana's co-founder responded by stating that this technology is actually an L2 network that does not require security council multi-signatures, users do not need to switch chain IDs, governance tokens are not required, and external sequencers are unnecessary.</p>
