Report: Ethereum, Tron and EOS Dominated DApp Ecosystem in 2019

Just three blockchains accounted for 98.65 percent of total transaction volume, though EOS began to struggle in Q4 2019.

Decentralized app aggregator DappReview summarized the main events within the DApp ecosystem in 2019.

Significant challenges abounded as well, with EOS suffering in the last quarter of 2019 as its network became strongly congested.

Its mechanism distributed tokens to users who sent any amount of EOS to its smart contract, leading some to create multiple accounts and rent additional resources to participate in the airdrop - depriving everyone else.

This had a direct impact on the number of active EOS DApp users, which suffered a precipitous fall and failed to recover since.

"Blockchain games still have to face the cruel reality that the damage created by EIDOS will continue for 15 months, and the congestion of the EOS main network may be difficult to resolve in the short term. The existing users are gradually leaving and there are no newcomers."

Ethereum the most diverse while Tron attracts betting DApps.

As the first smart contract released live, Ethereum is hosting a diverse range of DApps.

Transaction volume for decentralized exchanges and financial solutions quickly rose to cover almost the entirety of Ethereum's DApp ecosystem.

Tron registered the third-largest transaction volume at $4.4 billion, but betting DApps made up over 90% of the total - leading analysts to characterize it as "Las Vegas on the blockchain."
