Question.What differentiates Base from Zora from Optimism? Everyday artists out there want to know. They’re getting lost in the L2 sauce. The Medici drop was cool didn’t help win favor from many “smaller” artists out there. My DMs are full of frustrated talented people who are afraid to say anything out loud

I hate d sounding impatient and negative but I’m feeling impatient and negative. If curation and discoverability aren’t improved stat, artists aren’t going to mint. There the free mint is awesome for music and content. Not great for visual artists who want their work valued. They need to be SEEN and not lost 2/

Zora has a perceived, inbuilt culture associated with its platform, thus its network as well. Base and Optimism are simply well oiled protocols, now attempting to cultivate status and culture the same way Zora has. I believe Zora has a chance at becoming the preeminent ‘artists chain’ for that reason.

I’m trying to understand this myself, and the best I can come up with is the audience for each platform: Zora - vibers, culture stewards Base - normies, degens Optimism - tech savvys, air drop farmers Disclaimer: these are very air quote-y labels for my perceived average user of each place

L2’s are great for a lot of things, but 1/1 fine art should always live on eth main unless being somewhere else is part of the work itself

So if I mint on Optimism it would appear on Base? If I have eth on Base can I buy something on optimism without bridging? I want to deploy one generative art solidity contract once and have it work on all three L2s

Everyone wants to win the L2 race, who survives is the matter of time. Btw I love this run & much needed.

To me, it's the audience, like how in warpcaster mostly mint on zora, cryptoartists on twitter mint on eth mainnet and tezos. What I'm confused is fragmentation of L2 Optimism, like Zora and Base

i think ideal artist discovery is best served independent of chain and layer. i have bias. this is what i’m messing with on zora, base, etc, and their differences. culture takes time to form. choices artists make now will help form cultural pockets. like what tez experienced when smaller artists felt excluded on eth

The answer should be “it doesn’t matter” but in an attention economy we know that isn’t the case. But I still believe it to be true long term. Because as long as they are actually ETH L2s they automatically have backwards compatibility to ETH, and intrinsically… interoperability with each other 🤔

Zora is my favorite for artist discovery so far. Would love to work with you on discovery. Putting out some writing on this.

i think the l2s have different flavors. i put free mints on base, zora, & mainnet last week to see what would happen in terms of collecting. no solid conclusions. i'm pretty underground so it's mostly been ppl who already collect my stuff minting all 3. maybe a few new ppl on base. harder to get ppl to bridge to zora

Base is cringe from my perspective. It's centralized, operated by Coinbase and offers no advantages over and above Optimism. The recent influencer shill makes it even more suspicious.

Zora Network is OP labeled Zora brand, built on open-source OP Stack, maintained by Optimism Collective. There are some similarities with the rise of art on Tezos and L2s: for example cheap minting fees! But in my opinion the culture on Tezos was more artist driven, on L2 it’s more brand driven. Base = Coinbase.

Great question, was just wondering the same Which is the easiest for first-time crypto ppl to use and understand? Base bc of the Coinbase connection? Gas on main is prohibitive for the masses, same with bridging and adding networks imho

The decentralized aspect of crypto is preventing it from gaining mainstream. Base is a good bet to bootstrap it all; not sure if at the detriment/while supporting everything else. But yes, confusing more than anything at this point because it’s not technologically different but market positioning is.

It seems like the main difference comes down to the members of the community and vibe, i.e. Threads vs. Twitter. Obviously there is some overlap but the "voices" of each chain will become more apparent as time goes on.
