that is a good signal to have some pratical dapps for a platform, I also checked the Lisk, it seems the development progress is much slow that the ASCH, so promising!
That is true, the dev team are very active on github and you can see a lot of updates there, also the promotion team is active, you can see a lot of members on the forum.
Thank you for your positive comments on the dev team and community, I think the XAS should be noticed by more and more investors and hope some big exchanges like bittrex and binance can list this coin.
