Which EVM chain is the right home for Farcaster? Would love to get input here, especially from people working on scaling other chains. https://hackmd.io/@farcasterxyz/rkfR8q0k2

What's the security problem with Arbitrum and Optimism, besides censorship? As long as you have somebody checking fraud proofs, should have the same security as Ethereum, right? Not sure if one can selectively check just fraud proofs that interact with Farcaster contracts. If so, only check txs you care about

Will Farcaster ever have ads? Ad free option for gas fee payers on L1, and waitlist + ads for freebie plan to subsidize the L1 gas fee for registration 🥴

For option 3 Extension: Extension: instead of re-registering fids, we could just register future fids on the L2 and keep existing fids on the L2. Did you mean to say keep existing g fids on the L1?

How important is immediacy? Proposal: put everything into a Merkle tree and implement a P2P gossip protocol where clients achieve consensus on the Merkle root

Is it not inevitable that eventually the vast majority of actions / data are stored on a cheap chain for content ownership purposes (which means #6 is most likely)? We are building a read-write-own internet.

Stay Ethereum L1 for now and reevaluate later or make your own OP Stack rollup

I suspect using an L2 might be the right tradeoff right now.

imho, I would assume an L1-native zkEVM. Ethereum makes sense longterm even with scaling challenges.

I would say 3. It is too early to tell which L2 will dominant. No L2 can guarantee long term stability as this moment.

3 seems to give the most optionality. I’m very intrigued by 6, and choosing 3 now still leaves 6 (and other options) open down the road

Option 3 is safest bet. I like option 6 with OP stack.

Optimism. Not only we could build our own customized roll up, in long run though , while doing so we will be supporting public good.
