yeah, it is very interesting topic and number of projects on Polkadot is rising, although it is bold to say that this number is even close to Ethereum, and most of the projects are in early stage or test phase, Ethereum projects are developed, used and live at the moment
nevertheless, one should look for the future, and there is a tone to see on Polkadot network, which could propel it to new frontiers
for those not willing to read the whole article, since it is a long one, i will mention best projects currently developed on Polkadot:
live and trading:
- Edgeware - self-upgrading smart contract platform on Polkadot, currently not doing well after some hype early on (
https://edgewa.re/)
- ChainX - inter-chain bridge, that is also down 70% from the top in August (
https://chainx.org/)
- Stafi - Stacked Finance, first DeFi on Polkadot, down almost 80% from a month ago (
https://www.stafi.io/)
from the article, ones that are not traded at the moment:
- Acala - para-chain optimized for DeFi, currently on test-net, all-in-one DeFi service center (
https://acala.network/), it is important to note that there will be no public sale of tokens, beware of any scams
- Moonbeam - provides Ethereum compatible smart contract network on Polkadot (trying to get dApps from Ethereum), as well in testnet (
https://moonbeam.network/)
- Kilt - web3.0 credentials protocol project, started in Germany, Demo client is live, foreseen for IoT on web3.0 (
https://www.kilt.io/)
- Plasm - scaling dApp platform on Polkadot Substrate, PLM native token is distributed through
lockdrop, in two waves to ETH stackers, with more than 137k ETH locked (
https://plasmnet.io/)
- Litentry - identity authentification and aggregation project, there is no public sale as well (
https://www.litentry.com/)
- Interlay - bringing BTC to Polkadot DeFi (
https://www.interlay.io/)
so, there is a lot to choose from, but one should be careful, since the destiny of top three currently active project is that they were down a lot after hype in the beginning
