The Builder Protocol’s expansion to Layer 2 is official – the Builder Protocol is live on mainnet for Optimism, Base, and Zora! With the implementation of Layer 2s for the Builder Protocol it is more important than ever that everyone have easy access to tools like bridges. Builder’s resident engineers have built this awesome bridging page that displays your wallet balance on each network with a simple link to bridge funds to each network via the official bridge.

Built on Builder
This week’s featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is ENERGY. Recently launched on the 2023 Nouniversary (8/8), it is one of the first DAOs launched on Zora Network using the Nouns Builder Protocol. It was founded by a group of 11 creators and innovators with the goal of funding creative arts and engineering projects on the Zora Network. The team is currently proposing to remove the Founder’s allocation, making this an entirely community-owned and run initiative.
