By the time Ethereum mainnet was launched in 2014, there have already been hundreds of other crypto assets serving different purposes. With birth of smart contracts (ERC-20), which granted developers with the option to code a simple program that will automatically execute tasks after predefined criteria has been met, truly decentralized applications based on Ethereum blockchain began emerging. In Q1 and Q2 of 2018, 90% of all dApps were built on Ethereum blockchain, however with the birth of EOS and TRON, dApp developers “forked”.

Even though that 2019 laid a shadow over ETH blockchain and its dApps altogether, it has proven worthy many times before by presenting much larger set of resources for developers to work on and create dApps.
