Base

@base contributor #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

iyo, how should builders think about utilizing Base directly vs. building an L3 on top of Base vs. using one of the emerging L3s?

i expect that 90% of builders should start on L2, then migrate to an L3 if they achieve enough scale that they need "dedicated blockspace". the one exception to this is games that are doing *everything* onchain from the beginning - there, it may make sense to start with L3s.

L2 = AWS EC2
L3 = your own data center

I like this way of structuring it. Also good to see someone call out that cloud (AWS) is not the final layer in regular datacenter operations.
