For years, Ethereum has been the number one smart contract platform in existence. Despite having limited scalability, the world's second-largest Blockchain network has been able to maintain decentralization and censorship-resistance above all else. This is what differentiates Ethereum from other smart contract platforms like EOS, Cardano, or TRON. These chains may be quicker and cheaper to use than ETH, but they lack decentralization above all else.
I've been looking through the number of dApps (decentralized applications) available within the ETH blockchain, and I'd have to say that they're built with quality in mind. Other smart contract platforms like TRON and EOS have an ever-increasing number of dApps, but their quality is not as good as Ethereum's (especially TRON). Maybe that's why people often use the ETH blockchain for dApps than its competitors?
Considering that ETH is largely focused on "quality" instead of "quantity", it'll have a quite successful future within the mainstream world. After all, what matters is the number of use cases you're able to provide for the mainstream world. Scalability/performance is nothing if you're unable to provide a truly decentralized blockchain platform where applications are truly unstoppable. Do you agree with me? What are your thoughts?
