Does Tron Rely on Gambling, When DApps Considered?

Tron has gained reputation for itself in the crypto asset industry and DApp space, although Tron gambling is the sector where most of the protocol’s transactions take place.

According to DappRadar’s list of the most used Tron DApps, 17 out of the top 25 most popular decentralized apps are for gambling.

The eight Tron DApps, which are not classified as gambling ones, fall in other categories, like High-Risk, Exchanges and ”games”.

However, these apps account for significantly smaller amount of users than gambling ones, except those classified as exchanges.

The top 25 Ethereum apps, for instance, included only three gambling apps.

As of April 2019, Tron boasted the most dynamically expanding group of DApp users.

In 2019 Ethereum, Tron and EOS took the top positions in terms of DApp usage, accounting for combined 98.65% of the total DApp transaction volume for the year.

According to the 2019 DApp market report, DappReview called Tron’s DApp ecosystem ”Las Vegas on blockchain”, as its volume reached astonishing $4.4 billion in 2019, with its gambling decentralized applications taking about 89% of that money flow.

In the meantime, last week Tron founder Justin Sun had lunch with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, tweeting about the meal post factum on January 24. The details are still unavailable.
