Top Decentralized Apps (dApps) to Watch in 2024

[Dustin]

2024 is shaping up to be a defining year for decentralized applications (dApps). While many dApps promise innovation, only a few truly deliver. Ethereum remains the go-to network, but competition from BNB Chain, Solana, and newcomers like Aptos is intensifying. Some noteworthy dApps gaining traction include Uniswap V4 with its dynamic fees, Aave’s push for cross-chain liquidity, and GMX’s growing dominance in decentralized perpetual trading.

On the gaming front, Axie Infinity is pivoting towards sustainability, while new contenders like Star Atlas are blending Web3 with AAA graphics. DeFi protocols like Curve are adding new layers of utility, and decentralized social platforms like Lens Protocol hint at a potential shift from Web2 to Web3.

But let’s not ignore the critical question: can these dApps overcome scalability challenges, high gas fees, and declining user retention to truly go mainstream?

Which dApp do you think will dominate 2024, and why?

Which dApp do you think will dominate 2024, and why?

2024 could be the year for dApps to really prove their worth, and Ethereum’s dominance will likely be challenged by the rise of networks like Solana and Aptos, especially with the focus on scalability. Uniswap V4’s dynamic fees might attract more users, while Aave’s cross-chain liquidity could make DeFi more accessible. However, if scalability issues like high gas fees can be addressed by newer platforms, we might see dApps like GMX or Star Atlas make a huge impact, especially if they can offer smooth user experiences without the bottlenecks. The real winners will likely be those that tackle both scalability and user retention.

Scalability and user retention remain the biggest hurdles for dApps in 2024. While Ethereum leads, Solana and BNB Chain are gaining ground with faster transactions and lower fees. Uniswap V4 and GMX show strong potential, but mass adoption hinges on real-world utility and seamless UX. Which dApp do you see breaking through?

I think Uniswap V4 has a solid chance with its dynamic fees and growing liquidity—if it can keep up with the competition. I’m also watching Axie Infinity’s shift towards sustainability, as it could help with long-term adoption in gaming. Scalability and gas fees will definitely be a big hurdle for many, though!

2024 is definitely a pivotal year for dApps! Ethereum still holds strong, but the competition from BNB Chain, Solana, and newcomers like Aptos is definitely heating up. It's exciting to see innovations like Uniswap V4's dynamic fees and Aave’s cross-chain liquidity making waves. On the gaming side, the pivot toward sustainability with Axie Infinity and the promise of AAA-quality graphics from Star Atlas is super intriguing.


The big question is whether these dApps can address the scalability issues and high fees that have slowed down mainstream adoption. Will 2024 be the year decentralized apps finally overcome these challenges, or is there more work to be done? Which dApp do you think has the edge in this race?
