Ethereum is still at its best, dominating the dapp market in 2018. It gains the highest active number of dapp users among others. Not just that, its leading the market also in terms of wallet holders and total number of dapps.
But despite of the stable growth, Ethereum may find 2019 a tough year to begin with. Aside from the less transaction it has compared to the others, its dapp users needs to maintain an ETH for the gass fee every transaction. This greatly affects the dapp users experience and full mass adoption of Ethereum Dapps.
This is something an Ethereum dapp must consider and/or think about this year.

A couple of days back, Sparkpool, an Ethereum mining pool, received a payment of more than 2,000 ETH just for mining one blockEthereum recently launched its first pre-release of phase zero officially, in its transition to Ethereum 2.0 (Serenity). This is aimed at making Ethereum better and faster. The final completion date is set around sometime in 2021. Even Ethereum has come up with fastest and an ad-free blockchain explorer, EnjinX, which would definitely make ETH more accessible to the mainstream market. Good thing also that at the moment, I'm currently researching a good exchange platform named
Bitrus which shall be available to us investors soon.
The Ethereum roadmap was divided into five major parts, with Byzantium and Constantinople being part of one phase called Metropolis, which is mentioned in the Ethereum roadmap for January 2019 This is a huge step in Ethereum's approach towards success. Anyway, Ethereum fork upgrade is also going to happen sometime in late February. Vitalik Buterin spoke about the future of Ethereum scaling at its TechCrunch Sessions Blockchain event in Switzerlands crypto valley saying that the demand for using public blockchains is high and we need to up the stability in order to meet that demand.
