Forma presents another easy interaction for Hyperlane, but the genesis NFT is expensive (~ $5).

Is this NFT worth the investment or just another letdown like Rari Chain?

I break down why I decided to mint it and shared the cost breakdown for this NFT:

Bridge fee: 0.0288 TIA ($0.30)
Mint fee: 0.5 TIA ($5.25)
Gas fee: 0.0060870744 TIA ($0.06)

Total fees paid: $5.61

This reminds me of @RariChain where they milked everyone with NFT mints at ridiculous prices.

But Rari already had a token, and given that Forma uses @AstriaOrg ($5.5 million funded sequencing layer):

Pushing transactions on this chain could qualify us for future airdrops.

If they have a create feature like Zora, it's worth creating some NFTs on this chain too.
