[DECISION] Chain of TW3 Token

[TechnicallyWeb3]

🧩 Decision: Which chain should we use for the upcoming TW3 Token

Goal:
Determine which blockchain to deploy the TW3 token and treasury on.

Requirements:

• Fast transactions
• Low gas costs
• Maximum decentralization

---

🧠 Options

1. Ethereum

• ✅ Most decentralized (node and validator count).
• 🧱 Original and most battle-tested network.
• ⚠️ Downsides: Expensive gas and slower throughput.
• Summary: Reliable but not ideal for fully on-chain infrastructure due to cost.

2. Polygon

• 🟣 High speed and low cost.
• 💡 EVM/Solidity compatible (widely supported and aligns with our skill set).
• ⚙️ Existing TW3 preference; fits current workflow.
• Summary: Strong candidate — easy integration and efficient for on-chain systems.

3. Solana

• ⚡ Very fast and inexpensive.
• 🧠 Uses Rust, which differs from Solidity/EVM architecture.
• ⚙️ Would require compatibility checks with all DAO components.
• Summary: Technically strong performance, but potential development mismatch.

🔗 Key Considerations

• The token does not need to be on the same chain as the rest of the infrastructure.
• However, separating them would increase complexity when bridging or transferring value.
• All infrastructure could reliably be built on a single EVM chain, ensuring cohesion and simplicity.

🗳️ Personal Vote

My vote: Polygon
Reasoning: It's fast, cheap, EVM compatible, and aligns best with TW3’s current architecture and development skills.
Still open to other perspectives if strong reasons arise.
