solana is interesting—looking for cheaper options to build unlonely on
- optimism polygon and base as well

but I never gave solana a chance bc I was swept into the eth maxi mindset last year.
a lotta of the things I cared about which made me dislike solana don’t really matter as much now I’m realizing

thoughts?

Personally I'd optimize for user onramps, just thinking about users and distribution.

There are way more wallets that will have a base integration in the next 6mo and Coinbase is going to point most of their users there. I think that's what most of the big consumer apps are doing

Built to build. Skin in the game with scars to prove it. Angel Investor. YC founder. Prev engineering + ventures 
at Coinbase

Would also consider downtime. If we’re looking at 20 hours of downtime every 2 months, that’s not a good experience for users

onchain livestreams. your cozy space on the internet - come be unlonely. unlonely.app

Yeah I’m in and around the base ecosystem a lot. Pretty incredible the ecosystem of builders they have. Tooling is unmatched. It’s fast, cheap, very usable, lots of users, and settles on ETH. I also think mainnet is launching soon

on-ramps are important
but I generally think users will download metamask if there’s an incredibly product experience
ie: investing in small streamers arcade tokens that become more valuable as the audience grows @unlonely 😏
base is interesting though, coinbase is one of the few trusted big players in crypto
