FLETA — State of DApps

It won’t be an exaggeration to say that we have entered the era of decentralized applications aka DApps. The smart contract platform space is an extremely overcrowded space as it is. With so many viable contenders, the only way a true winner can emerge is by creating a healthy DApp ecosystem. The better the quality of DApps, the more users it will attract. The more users a DApp draws, the more the network’s value goes up.

So, having said that, let’s look at the current DApp landscape. We will be comparing the three most popular DApp platforms — Ethereum, EOS, and, Tron.

Top five Ethereum DApps by users in the last 24 hours

My Crypto Heroes (Game) — 2.2k

2. Playtowin.io (Gambling) — 1k

3. IDEX (Exchange) — 850+

4. ForkDelta (Exchange) — 650+

5. FCK (Gambling) — 600+

When it comes to the fives most popular DApps in the last 24 hours, there are three DApps which belongs to the “recreational category” (games and gambling) in the top 5. An important thing to note here. The most popular Dapp on Ethereum only managed to bring in 2.2k users while only two DApps got more than 1k users.

Top five EOS DApps by users in the last 24 hours

Token Planet (Gambling) — 6.7k

2. PRA CandyBox (Others) — 6.6k

3. ENBank (Others) —6.2k

4. EOS Knights (Games) — 5.7k

5. Decentralized-Texas-Hold’em (Gambling) — 3.1k

When it comes to users, EOS is definitely ruling the roost. Once again, we have three recreational Dapps (two gambling and one gaming) among the top 5 Dapps.

Top five Tron DApps by users in the last 24 hours

TronOY (Gambling) — 5.2k

2. TronBank (Others) — 3.8k

3. p3t.network (Exchange) — 3.1k

4. TronVegas (Gambling) — 3k

5. TRXMarket (Exchange) — 2.9k

Tron has garnered a really impressive audience for their Dapps in a short amount of time. There are two recreational Dapps in the top 5. However, they owe their recent success purely to recreational Dapps.

Between March 3–9, Tron completely dominated this space. Here are some of the numbers from that week:

Tron Dapps experienced a 207% rise in weekly transaction volume with a total volume of $180 million which far exceeded that of EOS ($102 million) and Ethereum ($24 million).

They acquired 33,000 new users, triggering a 64% growth.

The three most popular Dapps which pulled in the most users that week were Epic Dragons, CrazyDogs, and TronGo. All three of them are recreational Dapps.

Alright, now let’s combine these three platforms and see:

The top 5 Dapps by users over the last 24 hours.

The top 5 Dapps by transaction volume over the last week.

Top five DApps by users in the last 24 hours (all platforms)

Token Planet (EOS) — 6.7k

2. PRA CandyBox (EOS) — 6.6k

3. ENBank (EOS) — 6.2k

4. EOS Knights (EOS) — 5.7k

5. TronOY (Tron) — 5.2k

As of writing, EOS DApps are definitely ruling the roost when it comes to popularity. Note the complete absence of Ethereum. However, once again, note that 3 out of the top 5 DApps are recreation related.

Now, let’s rank these Dapps via weekly transaction volume.

Top five DApps by weekly transaction volume (all platforms)

Zion.games (EOS) — $50.2 million weekly transaction volume

2. TRONbet (Tron) — $38.9 million weekly transaction volume

3. PokerEOS (EOS) — $14.2 million weekly transaction volume

4. EOSJacks (EOS) — #11.6 million weekly transaction volume

5. DooTron (Tron) — $7.7 million weekly transaction volume

When it comes to weekly transaction volume, the top five Dapps are all gambling DApps. These five Dapps had around 6k users in the past 24 hours and had a total of ~$122 million transaction volume last week.

Outtakes from these observations
