Which one is the best is up to people but another interesting one to mention is Horizen. There are ZenPub (anonymous document publisher) ZenChat (messaging platform), and ZenHide (domain fronting platform) built on (or currently in dev.)  Even if it isn't the best I suppose ETH will be the most popular one

never heard of zenchat. Gotta look more into that one. Been interested in MOAC too

There are actually quite a few Dapps running on the Steem blockchain.
There are some benefits of using Steem though, you have no transaction fees and they're pretty much instant.

The cost is also relatively low these days due to the low price of Steem.

Some examples of existing dapps:

https://steemmonsters.com/# - Trading card game (very popular)
https://musing.io/ - Quora clone, get paid for asking and answering questions (very popular)
https://dgameland.com/ - Game marketplace
https://fundition.io/ - Crowdfunding website
https://www.peerhub.com/ - ecommerce
https://steemnova.intinte.org/ - Ogame type browser game
https://chibera.com/ - MMORPG on the Steem blockchain

More Dapps can be found here: https://steemprojects.com/

Depends on the amount of effort you want to put in creating the apps. You can easily bootstrap an application by selecting a language of your choice provided you're proficient in that language. If you really want to know the best blockchain then you should also consider the API that it offers to write the app. Writing apps for ETH on solidity adds an extra curve to learn that language which could be daunting if you're OOPS basics are not clear. If you're a JavaScript guy, you can always use Lisk to start with an application. Overall, it boils down to your skills.

Have seen so many DAPPS in the Ethereum and EOS platforms... This could mean that its easier or cheaper to build dapps on those platforms compared to NEO or MOAC
However we have more Dapp platforms like,

➖Tronix
➖ NEM
➖ QTUM
➖ Cardano
➖ Vechain
➖ Ontology
➖ Zilliqa
➖ Lisk
➖ ICON

Tried to pick ones that have a market cap of atleast over $100M
So try to check them and see... Building a Dapp on any of them could also need a specific type of skill or knowledge.

Nice list.

I've been watching MOAC for some time now. They hosted a webinar and showed how easy it was to launch a dapp on their blockchain. Definitely worth looking into.

Depend what you need to do. I personally just looked into Ethereum smart contracts, is very easy to spin up something that can be easily used through metamask. The main draw back are probably the fees for operating them and paying for storage space, nothing that cannot be overcome with an ipfs server maybe, but still worth to mention.

In any case this could be interesting to you:

It might come as a surprise but you COULD use ETC - they're planning to implement orbita interoperable sidechains that'll boos their network up significantly by allowing them to process upto 1000 transactions per second.

Just not sure how well the implementation would occur given that Etcdev have shut their doors for now.

Whoa great graphic. How updated is it? Would like to see how MOAC compares

Agree ETC it's a viable option too, since it's particularly cheap compared with ETH and most of the tool supporting ETH supports ETC as well. Quite a shame they are out of money

Has anyone looked into MOAC? I feel like the others are a given and pretty well known. Been digging around for MOAC and this is a blog post they posted today titled "explaining MOAC's ground-breaking tech": https://medium.com/moac/explaining-moacs-ground-breaking-technology-95362b8aa99a

I don't see any information in english and i never heard of this blockchain honestly. If you have anything in english which explain all the aspects of the smart contracts in detail.

Most mature community - ETH - there's just tons of support for any time of issue.
Best throughput - EOS - if your DApp is gonna need to write a lot of data to the blockchain, you don't wanna risk a full network like cryptokitties did to ETH.
Best financial support by whales - Aeternity and Bitcoin Cash have a few rich whales ready to pour money into your DApp if they believe it's good enough to help their ecosystem

Don't forget LISK. For many devs, learning a dedicated language is too much work, lisk makes it easier to use existing skillset. Stratis too.

Stratis lagging behind NEO. NEO is best c# blockchain, very intuitive

[rmilly]

EOS and MOAC hands down. Plus MOAC allows cross-chain compatibility along with allowing devs to migrate their smart contracts onto their platform. interesting stuff

I might be really fussy, but i have not met   perfect one yet, everything that I tried left something to be desired and I am not satisfied.

[Guardsman]

Regarding the creation of a DAPPS, I would recommend you to turn your attention to 2 new completely new projects. They are still gaining popularity. This is project x42 (ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4799548.0) and project Tera (ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4573801.0).

[phwizard]

Doesn't anyone here build dapps / smart contracts on Bitcoin?

There is Simple Ledger Protocol for example for Bitcoin Cash: https://simpleledger.cash/

Have you looked into MOAC?? Apparently you can pick POS, POW, DPOS, PBFT when building your dapp

With its launch in 2017, TRON received tons of praise from the community and has often been proclaimed as “ETH killer”. TRON’s original purpose was to enable users to share and spread data without any restrictions. Through content-based funnels users are able to upload and share their data in terms of videos, audio, images, and texts, and the blockchain ecosystem incentivizes them with digital assets each time they do so.

In June 2018, TRON mainnet was launch and it immediately gained traction by reinforcing the creation of decentralized applications (dApps). The so-called Delegated Proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus bestows the power of block validations to 27 Super Representatives to produce the blocks and verify transactions. To top it all off, TRON network is able to process up to 2,000 transactions per second, with great likelihood of scalability.

dAppRadar provides a perfect insight into TRON protocol. Even though there are only 220 TRON dApps currently ranked on dAppRadar, the top performing dApp generating the biggest transaction volume on a day-to-day basis is precisely based on TRON blockchain — TRONbet. TRONbet is an all-in-one gambling dApp focused on Dice, Moon, and Ring games on top of having developed its own exchange also available on the spot. TRONbet is opening a way for developers to interact with the TRON network by creating a set of APIs (TRC20 & TRC10) that can be utilized for producing dividend pools, mining protocols, DEXs, TRON wallets, account & social systems, etc.

In the battle for stability of the network, inflation circumnavigation, and TRON holders rewarding, Justin Sun, CEO and founder of TRON has conducted 8 coin burns amounting to more than $1 billion in worth. The purpose of the token burn has been aimed at creating artificial scarcity thereby increasing the value of the token.

CoinPoint has allied with an ample of TRON dApps in order to achieve the common goal of their wider application and user base. Using different type of dApp marketing strategies and tools tailor-made for specific dApp type, CoinPoint team has already established unique market approaches and tools required for successful outcomes.

[bikereturn]

How about using Lighting network? Lapp.

[jchi2210]

I mean it really depends on what DAPP you're building. Some platforms can get you name recognition if you develop on their platform if they are still up and coming.

I know there are a ton out there like Neo, Waves, and the likes, but I was just going to make a case for the Halo Platform. They have instantaneous and FREE send/receive transactions that are perfect for microtransactions. Halo is a clone of ETH and then restructured some, they use RAFT consensus with Variable Transaction Demand Block so blocks are created on demand, blocks can be created every 250 milliseconds (the fastest Ive seen yet). So 4 blocks every second if needed. They can handle 1250 tx per block easily and can adjust for more if they need to. If you want to watch a video of the speed of Halo with a few games that have already been designed then check out this short video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g74d3ixX7E8

They have multiple games being developed on the Halo platform, one of which is called Decimated by Fracture labs. Its a A post-apocalyptic multiplayer (MMORPG) survival game with true digital scarcity and item ownership with it's own in game economy.

Halo also has Horizon State utilizing their blockchain for blockchain voting. They just had a 50k vote in Southern Australia using the Halo Blockchain.

Building dApps with higher throughput is possible on Ethereum when you use a sidechain.

Loom Network is one of those sidechains. You can run the dApp on Loom and if some users want to take their assets onto Ethereum to secure them, they can do this.

Most of the users can use the cheap and fast sidechain and the ones that favour full decentralisation can do that with a hit on transaction times and price.

This setup requires the dApp developers to support such a scenario but in my opinion it is worth the effort, because it drives the goal of decentralisation forward.

I read a bit about loom and their plasma chain solution, could be indeed a valid solution if you want to stay in Ethereum but having cheap and responsive app.

[Bitdonator]

There is a many platform for building apps,
personaly I prefer Ethereum and Tron...

Also check Ark and Lisk project. Their focus
is on scalability and easy dapps deployment.
Once its fully launched, this platforms  will become
popular like first two I mention

[webmir]

You need to release the application on the platform where you are like a fish in water.
Otherwise, learning the platform will cost more than the application itself.

My choice Ethereum.
There is a lot of information on the web aboutEthereum.

There is Simple Ledger Protocol for example for Bitcoin Cash: https://simpleledger.cash/

I guess you cannot create smart contracts directly in btc blockchain, But it can be created by using RSK.
The time taken to mine a block in bitcoin and number of transaction that can be supported per block does not make it suitable candidate for dapps.
