Seeing a lot of discourse over the ongoing @optimism Onchain Builder round. 

The Foundation wants to reward builders - defined as protocols deploying factory contracts.

This means most creators and teams like @cooprecs driving usage to Zora or Sound etc. don’t qualify.

Thoughts?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  cooprecords.xyz

This is a tough - I see both sides. 

I would argue driving volume to contracts is more impactful than the deployment of those contracts.

We drove 150k mints across 50+ artist wallets from 200+ songs but since they are Sound contracts - they likely don’t qualify. 

Tough pill to swallow but that’s showbiz

We are facing the same issues. Initially we launched the Kiwi News NFT as a meme (art work), 10 people minted. But since then, for a year, we have built an entire product and protocol around it, and it feels wrong that @zora gets to pocket all of the impact. We drove these sales, @zora did feature us
