About this leaderboard
As of October 26, 2026, the top projects on Ethereum by builder upvotes on Dapping are Dapping (2 upvotes), Aave (1) and Virtuals Protocol (1). Ethereum is the largest smart-contract blockchain by total value locked and developer count. The ecosystem spans every Web3 vertical, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, identity, gaming, and the L2 networks (Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, zkSync) that scale the base layer. Builders working on Ethereum get access to the deepest liquidity, most mature tooling, and the largest pool of users, at the cost of higher fees and slower confirmations than newer L1s.

How the ranking works
- Every public project in the ecosystem or category is on the board, ranked by its builder upvotes on Dapping.
- The count is the upvotes on the project's current launch, so a relaunch starts again from zero.
- Ties go to the project with more upvotes from verified builders, then to the one that reached its total first.
- A project needs at least one upvote to hold a position. The order moves as votes arrive and awards no medals.
