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

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.

how important is EVM to farcaster? would an environment such as Starknet be considered? or impossible to build farcaster with Cairo

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

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?

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 🥴

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

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

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

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

Option 3 makes the most sense now as there isn’t enough volume on other chains which really can be a problem but obviously that volume needs to be bootstrapped somehow. One thing I’d throw to the mix - since I’m a big fan of Polkadot, their EVM compatible parachain Moonbeam is worth looking into

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

I'd say mainnet atm, but it would require bundling the txs to lower the costs (or find sponsor clients that do that for free to onboard). None of the L2 are fully decentralized yet, although Optimism announced it's their top priority for them. Also on mainnet Devs might struggle with the same issues ENS has.
