doing some research to decide which chain to launch our alpha on for casters who regularly receive or make payments onchain w/ orgs or personally: which chains do you mostly use (a) now and (b) expect to use in the future? 1 - Ethereum mainnet 2 - Optimism 3 - Base 4 - Polygon 5 - Arbitrum 6 - Gnosis 7- Other
I’ve only gotten paid once and it was on Optimism. Super cheap transaction fees and fast (means a lot for person getting paid) But, I could move OpETH directly to my off ramp from MetaMask which was weird. Nonetheless, Optimism is a good choice.
recasting and replying for visibility, we’re in the same boat For me: A) 1 B) 1, 2, 3
Mainnet (unfortunately) & Arbitrum. But I think regular payments will be mostly done on L2s going forward.
(a) 1 - Ethereum mainnet 2 - Optimism (b) 2 - Optimism 3 - Base
Polygon, Ethereum, Base for now. But CB to Base took like 5 hours to send a small transaction the other day 😱😱😱
Polygon - Great balance of cheap and widely adopted infra. Use it for large distributions for purp.game Will likely use OP and Base as well but Polygon is cheaper rn I believe.
7 - solana If it’s good enough for visa it’s probably good enough for you! https://usa.visa.com/solutions/crypto/deep-dive-on-solana.html
6. when i was a regular contributor to a dao, payments were disbursed on gnosis chain. personally, wasn’t a huge fan since it i needed dai on gnosis to unwrap and bridge to mainnet. future payments: mainnet is preferable just for ease on my end. less hassle/stress bridging funds.
7. Have you explored the idea of constructing a blockchain using Substrate technology? Basically a custom blockchain with your own validators.
