# DApp Research: Projects which are natural candidates for a sharded ecosystem

Few of the ones which I found are:
- https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/origin-protocol - Peer-to-peer marketplaces
- https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/auctionity - auction house for cryptocollectibles
- https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/opensea - marketplace for the decentralized web
- https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/decentraland - Decentraland is a virtual reality platform 
- https://patientory.com/ - Health care(has sidechain on quorum and a centralised bridge for economy)

It is mostly exchanges and games, these are also not specific to Göerli but are from ethereum. 
Went through description of about hundreds, excluded the ones which seemed to be inactive and not interesting.

Sources used:

- https://coinmarketcap.com/
- https://github.com/goerli/testnet/network/members
- https://github.com/openrelayxyz/goerli-dapp-list (wasn't helpful)

Consideration(some): 
  - Excluding exchanges and wallets
  - Has some active users
  - Follows ethereum architecture
