For some time, EOS was "hailed" to be the "Ethereum Killer" with its near-instant transactions and zero fees. There was excitement all around the crypto/Blockchain space within the project's early days. I remember when EOS was worth double-digits a couple of years ago. Somehow, demand for the cryptocurrency vanished as people moved onto other big players on the market. Nowadays, it's all about Ethereum and Binance Chain, leaving EOS in the dust. That's unfortunate, considering that EOS' zero-fee model makes it a perfect platform for "De-Fi". If developers began building quality dApps on EOS, the platform would've already surpassed Binance Chain. Who knows if EOS would've been the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap today?
Now that development on the project has kind of "stalled", I'm wondering if EOS is already dead? I wouldn't be surprised about this, since Dan Larimer's other projects (Bitshares and Steem) turn out to be the same way in the long run. The community took over those projects, but they've never been the same. I think the same fate awaits for EOS, as it becomes nothing more than a failed experiment.
What are your thoughts?

Yes. We see EOS regressing in this bull run compared to the bull run of 2018. This is in contrast to some other coins. If we study most of the coins that are parallel to EOS, then this year's increase is 2 to 3 times the 2018 bull run.
We can also say EOS failed. Most of the new projects launched almost never use the services of EOS smart contracts.
But will the current new project developing smart contract services also suffer the same fate as EOS?
I do not think so. Because almost most of the smart contract services today offer solutions to the problems that crypto users are facing today. Say BSC. BSC comes in the midst of difficult transaction fees on the Ethereum Blockchain. And most of the Ethereum projects are also working with BSC. In this case BSC and Ethereum complement each other.
