If you would like to launch your next project and you need to choose the right blockchain (or l2) for your long term project, what will be the most important considerations you will take? 

And what mistakes would you be sure to avoid?

If I wasn't working on Kiwi, I'd probably work on something in the realm of IP Protocols (textrel: https://kanfa.macbudkowski.com/ip-protocols-part-1)

I'd be probably be torn between Zora chain (helps with distributing NFTs to art collectors) and Optimism (seem to have the best sentiment rn among L2s/alt L1s).

Ucollect.me -> Grow your visibility with Free Mints!

I think at this stage it makes sense to choose the chain based on the people you want to reach. If you want to run an art project, you don't do it on Avalanche. If you do DeFi, you don't build on Tezos.

Most chains ofc want to become multidimensional so they'd try to convince you to build on them via grants

Not an easy choice for sure! 

I'd also highlight that getting visibility among people outside your user base isn't too valuable. Also getting initial traction is IMO overrated since the churn is typically high because many people who are outside your target group just check the app out of curiosity (esp. degens).

Thank for the reply. Grants can probably be a short term strategy that needs to be carefully evaluated if it can compromise the long term vision. 

But on the other side, it can help you boost also your visibility and help you with the initial traction when your project is new..

🤷 seems simple but it is not 🤷
