I was fairly into the space in 2014-2016 but stopped paying attention the last few years. It seems like lots of theorized applications actually exist and have a proof-of-concept now.

If I’m building a marketplace business in 2021, where I want to be “crypto-first” instead of relying on PayPal and Stripe Connect, where do I start?

The marketplace sells access to resources with an off-chain ACL system. It facilitates trades between resource sellers and buyers.

I assume I want a smart contract between buyer/seller to record resource grants on chain, which the access layer checks as a source of truth.

But if I were to do this on Ethereum, the gas fees would be really expensive. I’ve heard about Polygon and “optimistic roll-up.” Is this a viable solution?
