What is POA Network and why pick POA Network?

POA Network is an immediately available scalability solution. In today’s blockchain climate, a lot of Ethereum DApp developers are finding the hard truth that while their decentralised application is completed and ready to be used, the network’s congestions, high gas cost and slowness is causing the DApps to be unusable. POA Network is offering an immediately available scalability solution.

Due to the POA consensus mechanism with a second layer of consensus, called Identity at Stake, the POA Network team has managed to create a decentralized Ethereum side chain network that allows DApps to run as smoothly as it was designed to.

Developers can use solidity and develop as they normally would for Ethereum, but simply deploy to POA Network and make use of the benefits of the side chain such as low cost transactions, faster block generation time and higher number of transactions per second. Games like DopeRaider were shocked with the speed of the POA Network and had to rethink the animation speed and timing of their game, while Bancor has deployed a wallet on POA Network that is currently being used in Kenya by different communities to do everyday monetary trading like buying tomatoes or paying school fees.

The team at State of the DApps is recognizing that the innovation by POA Network has reached a level that should not be ignored. With more DApps moving and deploying to POA.

Example of a dapp using POA: DopeRaider

Woop woop to DopeRaider for being the first big Blockchain game to deploy on POA Network! You can read more about DopeRaider here: https://medium.com/@DopeRaider/doperaider-moves-to-poa-sidechain-for-faster-and-cheaper-transactions-ab10552c0ea0

How we integrated POA Network into State of the DApps:

When submitting your decentralised application, it is now possible to select on which platform it is: Ethereum or POA

POA global statistics are now visible, breakdowns of statistics can be seen per platform.

POA statistics and contracts can be added and seen on the DApp detail pages.
