Choosing a blockchain
Each blockchain is it's own network that is where you store or connect your digital assets to
What factors to consider in your choice of blockchain

If you have a good audience who follows you anywhere there will be more flexibility with the blockchain you choose. The biggest secondary market for reselling NFTs is Ethereum.
