If you want the Ethereum VM but with lower tx costs, try one of the L2s.

Any L2 you'd recommend? The last time I dipped my toe in that world I only bothered with L1s like Ethereum, Solana, etc.

[ryanjshaw]

Have a look at L2BEAT - any L2 EVM in the top 10 is fine (disclosure: I work for an L2). Check their native token price to understand gas price and onboarding complexity. Some L2s use ETH bridged from Ethereum rather than a native token.

If you are interested in cheap L1's which aren't restricted like nano, I can recommend stellar, (sei?) etc. although these are L1's

If you are interested in L2's, polygon's cheap as well fwiw

+1 for Polygon. Very cheap.
