Many decentralized applications have been created and are now being run using Ethereum smart contracts. These applications range from prediction markets to fair gambling and even more things. I wanted to share a few of them with you all because some of these are more popular than others and they all deserve more recognition! I believe that 2018 will be the year of Ethereum and even more dApps will be created!
1: Augur
Augur is a decentralised prediction market which allows people to place bets on the likelihood of future events. Prediction markets use the "wisdom of the crowd" to more accurately predict things like election outcomes than traditional polling.

2: Basic Attention Token
Basic Attention Token is a project which aims to disrupt online advertising by rewarding users for their attention.

3: CryptoKitties
Collect, breed, adore and trade a cryptokitty. Why? Because who wouldn't want a digital pet. Tamagotchis for the age of smart contracts.
