FC builders/founders: how do you determine which blockchain/protocol to build your product on?

New ones pop up every day 😵‍💫

I always say: go where the most relevant developers are. For most use cases that's Ethereum or Poly these days.

I can dig it! Devil’s advocate — why would someone purposely choose a new/emerging chain going against the grain?

This makes a lot of sense. We’re definitely going to see more chains take on market positioning and identities like, we’re the X protocol for Y vertical that offers Z benefits/features.

Product requirements would be the big one. Need privacy, more throughput, your own chain for example. Monetary incentives could be another but that seems more like a business than product decision (and likely long term not a very good one)

Love it. Do you have favorite hackathon event or two you’ve participated in?

Mostly for grants or hackathon prizes imo. Or bet on a chain gaining traction later and being early in it, like building main DEX for the emerging chain.

100% agree. Show me the why you’re the chain to solve my actual pain point. BD and speed to market are creeping up more and more. E.g. Developer suites, onboarding support, and access to thriving dev communities.

Had this convo with 2 new chains recently

I think a lot of projects make (what feels like) the mistake of falling for incentive programs or grants. 

In the long-term chains need to really articulate their unique value prop. e.g., Is there something you can only do bc of smthn SUI offers? unique BD to help projects?
