What exactly is the purpose of those flags at the right? It's a distraction in my opinion. I don't understand why it's necessary to put national flags at a corner of decentralized applications list. Guess the intention is to encourage competition and get more people from other countries to join, whether it is safe for them or not.
I think if an evil entity sees lots of flags they don't like, they will probably begin to attack the application or give you lots of problems till it's destroyed.
There is nothing wrong with having those data, but it should only be used when necessary

There is nothing wrong with Flags there, as it shows the traffic coming from a country. I think it is a very useful info for those who want to know the incoming traffic location. I don't think it is to encourage competition. It will help advertiser's more who wish to buy advertisement credits on these dApps.

Looks like tron is picking up on dApps. Most of them are related to gambling.

This is not optimistic, that the most popular decentralized apps are gambling games and decentralized exchanges. Is this what we really need for adoption? Tokens that make sense are only exchange tokens because they generate a profit, but again everything is around exchanging between tokens and playing gambling games. We have to be realistic, do not fall into FOMO, the use case is not real, for now.

very soon, BETFURY should appear in the list of these dapps. it is a very powerful casino on the TRX blockchain. I’ve been following them for several months now. they did the huge work for the few months that other casinos did all year. Dapps usually live for several years and after that people lose interest in them.

IDEX is now a semi-centralized exchange and it's one of the exchanges that was created before that until now there's still plenty of users. The comparison of traffic and volume of a dapp doesn't have a sense imo.

It's like comparing oranges and apples.

Agreed, nice to actually see someone stating the obvious fact, that IDEX is a centralized exchange, trying to fool everyone (like Binance does) with their "DEX".

There's only a few real DEX's out there, the Blocknet DEX being the most decentralized of them all, since it's got 0 centralized points of failures.

Exchanges are definitely dapps but they could be considered voluntarily dapps instead of forced into dapps. I understand that some stuff are built on dapps that otherwise could never be done, look at cryptokitties for example, you can't build that without dapp infastructure, whereas you can make exchanges basically everywhere. That both doesn't mean that exchanges aren't dapps but also makes it understandable that other ones are "liked" by people more.

On all other ones, I have always been looking for games that would actually bring both single player or multiplayer into a more talent based fun time that would be both profitable and also entertaining. A game that is like the PC games or console games we play, something with good graphics and actual gaming instead of all these text based stuff that we have to do constantly, but nothing like that ever came up. I am not saying lets play PUBG on blockchain but at least having something remotely with a gameplay instead of clicking some texts would have made it amazingly better than all of its competitors.

I seriously do not consider exchanges as a dapp, they are technically considered dapp but the reality is they could have been not dapps and still do fine whereas the games and gambling etch related stuff are more valuable to me because they do feel like they are actually doing something that nothing outside of dapp could do.

Just looking at compound for example, I can't say they are the best there is at what they do (fiat ones are a million times bigger than this) but these people with the idea they had managed to collect over 200 million dollars and manage that right now for you, that is something no other person can do without using the advanced technology of dapps with this little requirement of trust, they are publicly transparent on whats going on.

Why not? dApps are the backboned of the biggest platforms in terms of smart contract such as ethereum, tron, eos and many more. Having their dApps rated is one way to see how their platform gain users in terms of their dApps. Anyway that's your opinion.

I understand what you have said and thanks for that but what I meant was it's like comparing two different areas.

A dapp that has a huge traffic but has low volume or even no volume at all. That scenario is possible to happen or probably it's actually happening already. There's an influx for the traffic but very few users are committed to continue using dapps. And with the vast of platforms that projects can used, the traffic and volume will be spread so that's why I've said that the comparison for me, isn't important.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

On the other hand, DApp traffic may hint at a better measure for genuine adoption.

I think there is some sort of bias here for result. Daomaker is another project and might probably favor their own dApp. Why not check here where all of platforms with dAppa can be rated including traffics and ratings.

To assess DApp adoption, transaction or USD volume isn't a sufficient measure as whales, project founders, or project investors can wash-transact to push up volume in an effort to outsize the display of demand, somewhat similar to exchange wash-trading.

On the other hand, DApp traffic may hint at a better measure for genuine adoption.
