Most blockchain startups optimize for the wrong metric
A lot of blockchain projects seem obsessed with transaction speed and low fees, but those aren't necessarily the things that determine whether a product succeeds.
I'd be more interested in:
- How reliable the infrastructure is under load
- How easy it is to monitor and debug transactions
- Developer tooling and ecosystem maturity
- Liquidity and actual user activity
- Security track record
- How difficult it is to maintain the application as it grows
A chain can look great on paper and still be frustrating to build a production product around.
What metric do you think founders overvalue when choosing blockchain infrastructure?
