Top 3 on Dap.ps - Status Staking Report on Dap.ps

Background

The Status Network is a model of products, tools, and infrastructure designed to work together to create a sustainable technology system for anyone to use. Dap.ps is an independent project in the Network that gives creators a place to post and spread awareness of dapps, and it's the default location that the Status Messenger dapp browser points to.

Dap.ps uses dynamic dapp ranking, a transparent ranking system using a token bonded curve curation method. Simplified, it's a fair ranking algorithm that incentivizes users to vote up dapps they really like, and penalizes dapps trying to buy their way to the top with tons of cash. You can learn more about token bonded registries from the amazing dap.ps creator Andy T. here (not the Andy of this post).

Dapps are staked using SNT, the network utility token for Status. The general idea is that by staking SNT, dapps are locking up value in the network which creates greater utility for SNT, and contributes to dap.ps as an incentive-based environment for web3 exploration.

Staking Report

At time of writing, dap.ps has a total of 242,448 SNT locked with ~60% coming from developers staking, and ~40% coming from dap.ps users upvoting individual dapps.

Dap.ps staking has been growing at a steady upward rate month over month in 2020 with significant growth coinciding with the Status Messenger version releases.

There have been significantly fewer downvotes on dap.ps, likely due to the relative youth of the project (and of course the dapps are pretty amazing). There have been a total of 4 downvotes. Dissatisfied users pay to downvote, and those funds are used to detract from the total staking amount lowering the rank, and returning a portion of the dapp's staked SNT to the dapp developers.

There has been a total of 533 SNT granted back to dapps for downvotes.
