You’ve gotta hand it to the developers working on blockchain apps. It’s crazy how many new applications are created weekly.

Here at Scatter we keep a repository of meta data for apps called ScatterApps which we use to provide images and nice names inside of Scatter. The apps add themselves to this list, and we just make sure Scatter is working properly inside of their app and then approve their request. Since Scatter protects the user, we don’t have to do much in way of checking the apps. It makes it easy for them, and easy for us. No API keys or anything archaic like that, and developers love that.

Over the past 30 days we’ve merged 30 apps. That’s an app a day, and those are just the apps we know about!

The wonderful thing about building apps around Scatter is that you don’t need our say-so to use Scatter in your app. You can just grab our:

JavaScript SDK ( ScatterJS ) which supports EOS, Ethereum, and Tron.

Our C# SDK ( ScatterSharp ) which supports EOS.

Or even our Unity3d SDK which supports EOS.

And away you go! You can build Web applications, Desktop applications and even native desktop games! Scatter is also highly configurable which makes local, testnet, and sidechain testing very easy.

It’s official. Scatter is now also an app explorer.

Starting from Scatter 10 ( the next upcoming release that is already being tested by over 150 users here ) you will be able to search for apps right from within Scatter. We’ve been building up this functionality for a while now using the ScatterApps repository we talked about before, and we finally have enough apps to make browsing them a meaningful experience.

You can type in keywords to search for such as “Game” or “Exchange” and be instantly presented with a list of supported apps across multiple blockchains that meet your current needs. The apps list also grows without us having to update the Scatter Desktop application at all, as the meta data comes from our backend API. So the next time you search within Scatter, you might find something new!

Let’s take a look at just a few of the apps that were added recently to our ScatterApps repository.

This is one of our favorites given it’s real-world and long reaching implications. With Infiniverse you can purchase pieces of digital land that coincide with physical locations.

Then, you can add 3d models to your locations for all to see. It’s sort of like building a layer on top of our real world that we can mold as we see fit. What I really like about this is that because the data exists on the blockchain you can easily access it from other places and build on top of that functionality. Imagine a game where you can walk around these locations.. Ready Player One anybody?

I’m not much of a gambler, but it’s the aesthetic of this site that really caught my attention. I of course instantly showed Rami, and he was in total agreement. We see a lot of apps come out very quickly, which is a double edged sword. Somtimes those apps come out with barebones interfaces just to get the app live and be “first to market”. That can be a great strategy but then you come across a beautiful app like this, and it makes you want to stay a while.

Now, this is one of the only applications inside of the ScatterApps repository that isn’t live yet. The main reason we accepted it is that we know the team’s track record, and the quality of the content they produce. We think these kinds of projects are important and cut them a bit of slack. They lead us away from the “money aspect” of blockchain in a way that still suits the blockchain ( NFTs ) and provide large benefits to their users by way of ownership.

The future is bright

There’s so many projects across multiple blockchains working on Scatter integrations right now that it’s hard to keep track of all the cool things we hear about and prototypes we are lucky enough to get first glimpses of. We also have more blockchains coming down the pipeline which will make it even harder to keep track, but allow Scatter to have a wider coverage of the space at large. With that said, we’ve decided to start highlighting some top-notch projects periodically and help them get some more exposure.

If you have an app that integrates with Scatter be sure to add it to the ScatterApps repository so we can track it’s progress. And if you have something that’s not ready for release yet but want to show it off feel free to join the ScatterDevelopers Telegram Group where we all hang out.
