Set a reminder ~ Now
Where should we put the core smart contracts for Ethereum Follow Protocol (EFP)?
Based on how EFP works, we have to pick one chain for the core contracts, even if we support lots of chains for list records storage.
Our plan has been to put the core EFP contracts on Ethereum L1 (which users will have to interact with at least once to create a list), and then default to storing list records on L2s (which users will be updating regularly to follow new people, etc).
However, we've started considering putting the core contracts on an ethereum L2, specifically Optimism.
Using an L2 for the core contracts feels less neutral/basic/generic than L1, but using an L2 for them would obviously save users a lot of gas when they initially create a list, particularly if we go into another bull market.
What should we do? Please vote below and explain your reasoning in the comments, thanks 🙏

Ethereum Follow Protocol UPDATE:
we had some shakeups with the team in the last few weeks, which slowed down our development. as a result, EFP unfortunately will not launch in Q1 as originally planned. i know it's disappointing, these things happen, however we're back on track, are close to launch, and still want to launch as soon as possible
I'm looking to hire both a rockstar solidity dev and a rockstar UI designer/frontend dev (and remember we have funding from the ENS DAO). I'll be tweeting the job postings soon with more details, so if you're interested stay on the lookout for that or feel free to DM me if you're serious with your resume and examples of your work
more coming soon, be sure to follow @ethfollowpr
