Nevertheless he might have misremembered his personal tweet, as he had predicted again in July 2020 that by 2021, there can be “a whole lot of property and 1000’s of DApps” on Cardano (ADA).
Whereas the variety of property seems to have exceeded his predictions by 2022 due to new nonfungible token (NFT) minting protocols, the variety of decentralized apps working on the community is not so spectacular.
The decentralized finance analytics platform DeFiLlama tracks simply seven DApps working on Cardano and a complete of $315.72M in whole worth locked (TVL), excluding staked governance tokens. Two of these DApps have $0 TVL outdoors of governance tokens.
