Why did you choose to build on Kusama/Polkadot and not Ethereum?

[yangwao]

This is a super frequent question as probably the most expensive of NFTs are happening on Ethereum.

Reasoning
We choose Kusama/Polkadot because it's using Substrate, which is a framework for building upgradeable, modular and efficient blockchains. Generally, we are building on Substrate, because we will benefit from shared security, interoperability scalability and strong economy security. We believe that costs for actions at Ethereum may be high in future and its current PoW is not environmentally friendly. We believe in network effects of Kusama/Polkadot effects from other parachains. A rich ecosystem of runtime and pallets https://substrate.dev/awesome-substrate/ which offer long-term composability from the various teams. We inherit properties from https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-comparisons/.
