Mike Elias, founder of IdeaMarket.io tells us what it was like to build a social network on Arbitrum aimed to build a market for credibility and trust.

We discuss:

• Why we have a credibility problem and why it's worth solving
• The risks of building for a smaller audience on L2
• Approaches to simplifying the onboarding process and reducing friction for your end users
• Tools that can help like ChainList.org (to streamline the setup of L2 networks for your users) and Hop Protocol (to help users bridge funds to L2)
• Where to find help when building on Arbitrum
• How to poke a stuck transaction with a stick
