Enhancing Scalability on Solana Using Compression Technology

Solana's unique approach to scaling poses challenges for applications looking to handle large user bases solely on-chain. Compression technology, such as ZK compression, offers a solution by consolidating multiple account states into one, optimizing costs and processing efficiency. This innovative method allows projects like Drip, PLUM, and HiveMapper to leverage Solana's capabilities while scaling seamlessly to accommodate extensive user interactions.
