If you were building a new dApp in consumer web3, how would you choose which chain/L2 to build on to optimize for product growth? Seems like the two major factors are adoption and gas fees.

was debating between polygon or mainnet for unlonelyNFCs. visibility is big for NFCs though and polygon gets less visibility on wallet dapps(usually an extra button or side tab you need to click to view them). however, we’ve also prob spent >$500 on gas fees minting them to main so that’s a factor as well. not sure

imo Polygon is the top choice right now. it's EVM, it's cheap, it's popular, and it's fast. checks all my boxes.

My suggestion is to focus on where the users are. Polygon and other L2s have had low gas fees for some time, yet Ethereum is still where the volume is at. Maybe users need more education or could be that bridging funds between chains is too much of an inconvenience. Either way, I’d let on-chain activity be the guid

i think for the vast majority of apps, the only thing that really matters is gas costs as network utilization approaches ~90%, gas costs skyrocket asymmetrically (not linearly), which virtually guarantees app failure (if users pay gas) / company bankruptcy (if company pays gas)

Eth unless gas costs are unreasonable.

We started beginning of this year with Solana for dev speed and minimal gas, which obviously bit us a little. Wallets and onboarding have been frustrating, probably add polygon soon

I'm a strong believer that a good product can lead the network adoption. So the real deciding factor is the gas fees and arguably the budget. Optimism is particularly interesting thanks to it's engineering focused team and product. Also check their OP stack!

If you’re already in Polygon you could stay on PoS chain for another 6-12 months and then shift to zkEVM

ETH because that’s the only name the average consumer will recognize

Mirror.xyz is on to something with Optimism (I think). The create an easy bridge (rollup bridges > crosschain bridges) and the UX is sharp. Also benefits from adoption / liquidity of ETH. https://g.mirror.xyz/FbOp-2FbQLA6maNcuEuhKLeSvhr1qJBG2uq6KCvt--c

It depends whether the audience is cryptonative, or not Example: Nike's Swoosh product is built on Polygon, and most the the crypto complexity is abstracted away

Gas fees and use-case dependent adoption. I’m considering Celo for a project I’m building since it’s targeting international freelancers for example. Polygon is seeming more promising though for a number of reasons

The chain with least normies adoption friction. Which probably means either Starknet due to account abstraction apps like cartridge or Polygon for the distribution partnerships

Your own cosmos chain = so your token can capture the full value rather than paying gas to a host network 💰
