The journey of a Web3 builder is quite challenging these days. Suppose you want to build an actual application instead of setting up something like an L2. The path you have to walk is tough. Typically, you would gather a team of potential co-founders and brainstorm on how your idea makes sense. Ideally, this team would consist of individuals who can help build the product through coding. Once your team is assembled, you would decide on which blockchain you want to launch on. Recently, L2s have become popular, but you could also consider non-EVM blockchains like Solana that attract developers. This decision involves several factors: understanding where users are, where they are going, where the liquidity is, the transaction speed and fees your application requires, and most importantly, the incentives that different chains offer to help you build your minimum viable product (MVP).
