Blockstack Dapps 2020

The Blockstack ecosystem had launched the app mining program 12 months ago. App mining encourages app developers to work on blockstack ecosystem. It is a kind of reward mechanism where in the developers who contribute to the growth of blockstack ecosystem get rewarded in Stacks (STX) tokens. The apps are ranked every month based on their performance in select parameters decided by Blockstack PBC and these metrics are measured by independent reviewers who are brought on board by Blocstack PBC. Many interesting apps have come out during this period. Some of the interesting apps are
