But feel free to prove me wrong: how many of the thousands of different tokens that were created in the past years have actually solved a real problem?
When people start these tokens they make promises that claim to solve real-world problems, and only a few of them actually fulfill their promises. But I found
a guy who listed some of the biggest ones that have a real usage:
-
Ripple, which aims to replace the SWIFT interbank payment system with instant transactions and reduced fees per transaction.
-
Stellar, pursuing a few of the same goals as Ripple while targeting individuals with the goal of banking unbanked customers around the world.
-
Factom, wanting to offer a decentralized platform for notaries.
-
Golem, the whose stated goal is to become a kind of Airbnb of computing power. The platform lets users sharing some computing power and is based on the Ethereum platform.
-
Basic Attention Token, which aims to revolutionize the world of digital advertising with an innovative model that benefits advertisers, publishers, and users.
-
Siacoin, offering a fully decentralized cloud storage platform.
I checked Siacoin, they seem to already release
their platform and people are using it.
