dApps or Decentralized Applications are layers built on a base layer decentralized blockchain protocol, that enjoys all the features of a blockchain and at the same time acts as a scalable and deployable application. dApps are on an ever-increasing trend right now, with more and more crypto enthusiasts exploring the capabilities of the ecosystem. The main difference between a regular Web 2.0 application and a dApp is that dApps run and execute on the computation power of the users on the network, while regular applications such as Chrome, Facebook, etc., run and rely on centralized servers.
dApps on Steem
The Steem blockchain, being a fully customizable reputation based blockchain, supports all kinds of innovative application. Ever since its inception, developers have readily taken up the challenge of trying to develop and implement their ideas on the blockchain. Steemit, right now, is one of the most used dApp platform on the Steem blockchain, behind only Ethereum, EOS and Tron, that allows users to take part in the first-of-its-kind social network that rewards users based on their contribution to the network. Following the path, a few thousand applications have been implementedon Steem, some building on Steemit.com itself, while others acting as independent applications. Applications ranging for Social network to gaming to e-commerce are already up and running.
Because of itscapability to act as a base layer protocol and allow applications to be built on top, and mostly because of Steemit.com, the Steem blockchain's native token (also called Steem) had risen to the most used cryptocurrency as of late 2018, when considering transaction volume.
To spread the word, following is the list of places where you can know and experiment with dApps on Steem for yourself:

Hi @reverseacid
I hope you won't mind this post (it's not really related in any way to your current publication).
I've been just wondering if you joined PALnet airdrop (PALnet is a token build on Steem-engine).
If you didn't claim it then perhaps I could ask you for small favour. Would you consider claiming your tokens and selling or delegating it to me for few months? I would obviously pay you some STEEM for those tokens (I can even pay for delegation - I want to invest some time and money into that platform).
How to claim your token?
a) login in http://palnet.io/ (it's build on STEEM blockchain, so you will use same login details)
b) login in steem-engine.com
c) claim your tokens -> to do that you need to open steem-engine.com and go to "wallet". In left-top corner you will have PALnet (blue colour) logo. Click on it and claim your PAL tokens.
d) go to your palnet wallet and either transfer your PAL tokens to crypto.piotr or STAKE it and delegate to me (click STAKE and then "advanced" and simply type in my username).
Amount of received tokens depend mostly on your current level of SP (I'm not sure if delegations are being taken into consideration as well).
So based on my current experience, if you have 200 STEEM POWER then you should be able to receive something around 100-150 PALnet tokens.
I would pay you 10 STEEM for purchasing each 100 of those PAL tokens. So basically you can earn something and help me grow on this particular platform, making both of us happy :) Plus you would sell/delegate those tokens without bringing down their current price (you won't need to dump them on exchange).
You would earn some extra STEEM and I would have higher STAKE in this platform.
I've only 500 STEEM I can spent on that purpose (plus airdrop will not last forwer) so HURRY UP :) :)
Cheers,
Piotr
Dapps are good news for Steem. If they mature, probably they can compete with future apps build on libra's network. Maybe with need a steem dapp university.
