Ethereum was the first platform of its kind and in spite of growing competition in the field it remains the most popular platform for DApps deployment up to date. Currently there are about 2 thousand decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain with 1 thousand of them already alive.

TOP DApps by the number of daily active users

1️⃣ 333 ETH — a high risky ETH distribution project offering life-long payments at the rate of 3,33% per day of all the contributions made by the user. Category: gambling. Daily active users: ~1,6K

2️⃣ IDEX — a decentralized exchange for ERC-20 tokens trading. Category: exchange. Daily active users: ~1,5K

3️⃣ ForkDelta — a decentralized exchange with the biggest number of ERC-20 listings (former EtherDelta). Category: exchange. Daily active users: ~860

4️⃣ Fomo3D — a high risky project positioned as exit scam offering passive ETH income to its users in the form of keys to the ICO funds held on the contract which are purchased instead of tokens. Category: gambling. Daily active users: ~480

5️⃣ CryptoKitties — one of the most successful games running on the Ethereum blockchain, providing users with access to digital cats which they can buy, sell or breed. Category: game. Daily active users: ~430

6️⃣ HyperDragons — a game enabling users to collect, breed and trade digital dragons. Category: game. Daily active users: ~400

7️⃣ Bancor — a network for token conversion with no counterparty at an automatically calculated price. Category: exchange. Daily active users: ~340

8️⃣ OmiseGo — a financial network enabling transparent p2p transactions in real-time. Category: finance. Daily active users: ~330

9️⃣ Etheromon — a game enabling users to capture, train, transform and trade virtual monsters. Category: game. Daily active users: ~310

🔟 PoWH 3D — a crypto exchange providing its native P3D token holders with passive income in Ethereum. Category: exchange. Daily active users: ~290

As you can see, TOP projects ranked by the number of active users are mainly exchanges, games or high-risky hypes. The project that is currently TOP-1 in the list was launched less than a month ago. And despite it has all the signs of a pyramid scam, it takes the first place in this rating having attracted over 3 thousand contributors. So this criterion can hardly be decisive for identifying DApps as the best ones. Meanwhile there are more DApps which are not in the list but noteworthy.
