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

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

Any examples of who you think should go to an L3 that is already on L2 Base, other than games?

Skipping directly to L5

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.

what do you think about the future of gas golfing stuff? My hot take would be that they'll eventually become irrelevant

Why do you want people that need their own block space to build L3s?!?!

Fuckin disaster of an architecture. We need to get rid of the layers and build aggregated systems.
