> When you think about it, OpenSea would actually be much “better” in the immediate sense if all the web3 parts were gone. It would be faster, cheaper for everyone, and easier to use.
I really love this idea. Why doesn't a company with already established authority (say, Google) build this? An NFT-free NFT marketplace. That would be hilarious, as well as probably useful.
Or maybe someone else than an established player, but then with some mechanism to compensate for the lack of intrinsic authority. For example, a database with a hash of the whole db stored on a blockchain. To keep costs low, the hash could be stored only every x inserts (or, for a fee, one could force a hash store after a given transaction).
