Infrastructure is a product decision
Choosing an L2 is not only a technical comparison. It affects onboarding friction, support complexity, and growth economics.
Decision framework
Throughput vs settlement expectations
Measure transaction profile first. Low-frequency high-value workflows require different tradeoffs than high-frequency consumer actions.
Wallet and bridge realities
Map the user journey end-to-end, including bridge delays, failed signatures, and asset confusion.
Operational visibility
Prefer environments with reliable observability, debugging tooling, and clear incident playbooks.
Recommended approach
Start with one execution environment, define migration thresholds early, and document scaling triggers before launch.
