EOS is looking rather DAppER lately
The DApps, or decentralized applications, list is steadily growing on EOS. Many of these projects are participating in airdrops, dispersing their project's native tokens to the EOS coin hodler wallets. Opening a wallet and seeing 10 new tokens in it is always a good feeling. However, most of these are not tradeable yet or even listed on coin ranking websites.
The list of DApps consists of over 100 applications ranging in function from gaming, exchanges, music, charity, social networks, healthcare, education and the list goes on.
This in combination with the massive investments from Bitmain's Jihan Wu and Paypal's Peter Thiel in July, not to mention China ranking EOS the number 1 blockchain, show that EOS is attracting major attention and will surely receive a nice price boost in the coming months. But hey, this is crypto. You just never know.
Proof is in the pudding.....and transactions
All 3 of Dan Larimer's major projects (Bitshares, Steemit, and EOS) hold the top 3 positions for the most actively used blockchains, with over 1 million transactions taking place per day on each platform. EOS has topped out at over 3,500 transaction per second without a hiccup. Transactions may consist of a number of things from voting, sending EOS, unstaking EOS etc. On top of this, even with this volume of transactions, none of the 3 platforms have reached 1% network capacity. Meanwhile Ethereum is at capacity with a backlog of around 70,000 unconfirmed transactions. Dan really seems to know how to properly scale a blockchain.
All in all it seems as though EOS is steadily pushing through its growing pains and establishing itself as the go to scalable blockchain for DApps, as well as investment, as if $4 billion didn't cut it.
