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.

I partially agree. Like if it was rollups like Optimism vs Base, then yeah 100%. Even Arbitrum which is a little different or Linea or something which is even further in its own direction.

I think it’s understandable though that some chains (sidechains, alt L1s, centralized L3s) people don’t want to use because they don’t trust their money there.

Polygon is a good example of this with its high centralization and frequency of reorgs. Solana would probably be a negative for others with its regular down time and bridge risk to interact with Ethereum. Tron, TON, BSC, etc could all be contentious for that reason.

Yeah I agree. I just assumed this was the critique from those asking it to be ported.

You and I are in the minority who understand these details. If you're trying to reach mass consumers, no one will care about these things. The trust will be with the app, not the chain.
