High probability I am stoopid, but I don't think deploying on every chain ever means more people meaningfully using a protocol. 

Just fractures liquidity, user experience and drives speculative migration fomo. Fun for grant rounds & mktg, does nothing for the underlying fundamentals.

Yea protocol availability vs. operational overhead for each instance is basically the calc we do. 

Looking forward to lowering the operational surface area of each new deploy, leading to more deploys essentially

Totally depends on the protocol IMHO

If the protocol has strong network effects or TVL I agree that it can be counterproductive unless you're simultaneously laser-focused on chain abstraction

Otherwise, it's really nice to know that the protocol is available regardless of what chain you're on; eg Seaport's everywhere
