The acceptable account isn’t aloof belted to Steem. December was a almanac aerial for the cardinal of dApps live on blockchain platforms featured on State of the ÐApps. In total, 179 new decentralized applications went online in December, up from the 141 in November. Ethereum (ETH) saw the better access with 105 new dApps added to its network; 40 were online bank features.
Industry abstracts advance this is a able assurance cryptocurrency is affective abroad from amount belief and appear concerted efforts to advance applied use-cases. Vladislav Dramaliev, Head of Digital Marketing at æternity, believes it additionally indicates that the association is animate and well.

Steem dApp advance exhausted EOS
EOS saw 26 dApps added to its platform, a little bigger than it did in both November and October and bottomward from its best aerial of the 56 that went online in September. There were 20 beneath dApps added to EOS than Steem in December.
However, EOS calmly exhausted Steem and every added belvedere in the cardinal of users. EOS dApps accept over 45,000 users per day, added than bifold the cardinal of the abutting agent up, Ethereum, with 17,000.
A decentralized restaurant analysis and a biking blogging and admonition platform, as able-bodied as a polling application, were amid some of the new dApps added to Steem. A decentralized developed agreeable website, Dporn, went alive at the weekend, in the aboriginal anniversary of the new year.
Steem has had its problems. Its flagship feature, the online blog armpit Steemit, faced criticism aftermost year for acceptable a hub for ICO hypers and scammers. Poor user acquaintance led to a bead in alive users and a agnate abatement in the amount of Steem tokens.
Steem’s new year’s resolution could be to diversify. Rather than depending too abundant on one ‘killer dApp,’ the belvedere can accept its base covered with an advancing appliance expansion.
Whether it will abide to outdistance EOS charcoal uncertain. But on addition note: Dan Larimer was aforetime CTO and ‘visionary’ for Steemit afore jumping address to EOS’ advance developer, Block.One, in April 2024.
