Where RISE may be aligned with buyer needs (subject to verification): the vendor thesis targets latency-sensitive trading experiences via sub-block primitives and parallel execution research.
Where Arbitrum and Optimism currently offer advantages: larger default ecosystems (wallets, infra vendors, indexers, bridges), more third-party integrations, and broader public documentation of fee mechanics.
Adoption signal note: social follower counts or vendor marketing indicators are weak signals and do not substitute for demonstrated production adoption.
