Why would a crypto project want their own appchain?  3 main reasons:  

1) Generate an additional revenue stream

2) Scalability

3) Customization of UX

4) Build utility / an ecosystem

An appchain is a specialized blockchain designed to handle a specific task or application more efficiently than a general-purpose chain. 

Here’s a breakdown of why a project would want their own appchain:

1) $$$$ - You could set a significant % of the transaction fees to go directly to your project.  For ex, Zora’s L2 revenue was 169.2 eth in March.

2) Scalability - By dedicating resources to a single application, appchains can achieve higher tx throughput and lower costs compared to sharing block space on a general chain.

4) The meta game matters in crypto.  Getting degens to use your token and having other devs building on top of your tech are great ways to reinforce value to your project.

3) Customization of UX - Your chain, your rules. You can customize nearly everything - the gas token, the block time, you can even selectively enable EIPs!
