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

my intuition is it's roughly right AND op should do another round that targets "non-protocol builders" (altho, as @sonyasupposedly mentioned, the comms here were v poor / simply incorrect)

i am sympathetic to the idea that zora et al should consider redistributing some of their rewards to their users but the logistics of that are probably too complicated to justify them diverting focus

this round, as i understand it, is to incentivize the creation of impactful public protocols such as zora where so many people can build on top and have their own impact

i think it would help their narrative if zora were still free, but impact=profit in theory means the fees they charged will get taken out of the theoretical grant size so,, idk
