It bothers me seeing people asking for a polymarket on base. Just go use polymarket, the whole point of building consumer-friendly apps is the chain literally should not matter. Biases are showing.

Polymarket is proof that choice of chain matters very little in getting users and traction.

They certainly managed to get to an important stage on Polygon. And I'm pretty sure Polygon would have been the safe choice in 2021-2023. But what if Polymarket could have 3x volumes on Base today and TAM for the next 6 months would be 10x in users, liquidity, traction?

I believe apps should build a good product, pick a good chain to succeed, make it easy to deploy assets from anywhere - but being open to switch to another place is prob important (maybe not today, likely in the next year).

Also, liquidity and users is not from 50.000 users but still very concentrated - maybe even from direct investors. So, I wouldn't derive a general takeaway either.
