There are a bunch of EVM-compatible platforms that can host dapps now, and many projects are running cross-chain or have equivalent projects on those. Personally I think Fantom is worth taking a look at (and as a disclaimer I hold some); it already is handling more transactions per day than Ethereum and has a massive dapp ecosystem, NFT marketplaces, etc. Gas fees are typically 1-2 cents (simple transactions) or 2-6 cents (contract interactions) Others worth looking at would be Avalanche (also PoS and DAG-based) or Polygon/Matic (which is L2) Further away from Ethereum, the launch of smart contracts on Cardano from a few days ago is the beginning of dapps there as well. The fees on Cardano are getting to be prohibitive for casual usage unfortunately (minimum $0.50 per transaction), but what's nice is that the fees are deterministic, and you can't have a failed transaction that consumes or runs out of 'gas' without finishing (though they don't actually use gas) (further disclaimer, I actually hold some of all of the above + Ethereum... but I guess it's fair to say I hold these because of the potential of what they're doing)
