Which one is the bigger DApp listing site: dappradar.com or stateofthedapps.com?

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

DAppradar has 5.5K twitter followers while stateofthedapps has 10.3K followers and dapp.com has 10.2K followers. On the other hand, DAppradar's alexa site rank worldwide is 60,614 while stateofthedapps's is 148,512 and dapp.com's is 332,138 . There is another relatively newer listing site called Dapp.review.

Google search with "DApp listing" returns stateofthedapps (i.e first site), dappradar and dapp.com accordingly. Though there is no clear winner, I would say stateofthedapps has the momentum with it to win the race.

Interestingly, All of these DApps listing site has included Steem. But Dappradar has not yet added Steem. Steem witness @therealwolf has contacted them several times. So far, their response was sporadic.

There is a twitter campaign going on to push DAppradar to add Steem. Please add your tweet and earn an upvote from @theycallmedan.

We need to add Steem in every possible DApp listing site to demonstrate Steem's prowess. There are blockchains that has 20-40X marketcaps than Steem and have spent 100s of millions of dollars in DApp developments, but they lack user's interest. On the other hand, Steem DApps are the most active ones in the block.

If we consider stateofthedapps ranking, Steem has top six ranking out of 11. It speaks volumes about the steem's usage. Moreover, people shy away from Steem by claiming Steem's relatively high inflation (i.e 8.5%), but they have to understand that Steem is in a social distribution phase similar to PoW coins, fairer. On the other hands, ICOs are sold to investors in short period of time, mostly to the wealthy and savvy investors. These ICOs have better marketing from the beginning, otherwise, they should not be able to raise 100s of millions of fiats and spent on Dapp developments, rather than organic growth.

However, these ICOs are luring investors by putting a dream of bringing millions of users to their blockchain. However, it may not be easy until they are in the real battlefield. Social media is like a rocket science, there are too many parts in it. Steem is solving the issues for three years, but still struggling to fine tune it. So far, it is able to make 1.3M accounts. It would be pipe dream for these other chains to see the success of steem. Steem will always have the first mover advantage in case of capturing next few millions. Moreover, Steem is just few innovations away to see the rapid growth of its user base.

Therefore, it is our duty as Steemian to add Steem in every possible sites that lists dapps or blockchains. And with large number of users, Steem is already winning lots of contests and will win many more. At a future point, Steem will gain its proper ranking in CoinMarketCap when dust settles in the battlefield.

The more places we can get Steem the better. I try my best to support several different dapps everyday by either visiting their site, or using their app.

Most people I've seen talk about Dapp Radar suggest that they are the leaders so it would definitely be nice to get Steem listed on there.

Agree as it serves as great promotion to the ecosystem. It could bring the platform to the attention of both investors and developers which can be the foundation to value creation over time.
