It seems with the recent price drop there's been a lot of negative sentiment regarding the future of Eth. However, at this point it seems unlikely there won't be some dominant platform for building DApps and launching smart contracts, whether it be Eth or one of its competitors (Cardano, Iota, EOS, etc).

While in the short term price affects sentiment and is easy to track in the long term whichever platform is able to attract the most developers and gain the most real world use will likely be the winner. Is there any easy way to track and compare number  the number of smart contracts launched and their corresponding level of usage use across various platforms in order to get a broad sense of who is gaining traction in such a race?
