Where Ordinals beats everyone right now is cheap resolute onchain storage
Yet Ordinals ownership is tracked offchain - any smart contract chain NFTs are more robust here, e.g. Ethereum NFTs, Solana NFTs
The inverse is many smart contract chain NFTs use offchain storage, though…

Rn Ethereum appears to use less energy annually than the US video game industry. In months, it'll use the annual energy of ~1k people, a +99% reduction.
How will the video game industry go similarly green? Well, they could onboard to Ethereum + L2s over the next 20 years 💚

The newly unveiled

It's robust. It's flexibile. And it introduces new infra that could have big impacts in Zora's sphere of influence and beyond.

As a creator, I'm inclined to mint on the Zora L2. NFT-wise I've felt a neutral vibe toward existing L2s. But because of the brand/culture/history/vision, Zora seems a more ideal fit. For example I'd rather mint a writing NFT like a poem there than elsewhere

My thesis: Ethereum (L2s, DeFi, NFTs, etc.) is the socio-economic infra that will best connect metagalaxies into an open metaverse over time
🌍 Virtual world = single VR space (e.g. Fortnite)

A project innovating on this front is
@PirateNationNFT
, which built a system where players can just *play* instead of constantly fiddling with wallets
More of this please!
As a browser-based game all you need is the Metamask extension or an equivalent ERC wallet. Gameplay is on Polygon & will be free as we’ll be covering the gas costs.
You will need to bridge your Pirate from ETH to Polygon & once on Polygon you will be able to sail for adventure!
