I’m starting this topic to keep a list of Arbitrum-based consumer apps in one place, with a focus on non-financial, day-to-day applications.
Where will this come useful? For example, when we attend conferences and represent Arbitrum, it’s great to have apps we can recommend to people curious about Arbitrum.
It’s also helpful when talking to crypto newcomers who want to try blockchain-based apps but aren’t yet comfortable using browser wallets.
So the focus of this list is on consumer-oriented apps that are easy to use and preferably have a mobile app.
The List
Session
A decentralized chat app with very simple onboarding process (no phone number required). I wrote more about it in this topic: Session chat app and the Arbitrum DAO
Huddle01 Meet
A web3 alternative to Zoom and Google Meet. More about Huddle01 Meet in this topic by @paulofonseca: [Non-Constitutional] Let's get our huddles (aka. video calls) in order
Blackbird
URL: https://www.blackbird.xyz/
A loyalty program platform for restaurants. I wasn’t aware of it until Hunter from Offchain Labs told me about it the other day. Arbitrum is used underneath for keeping track of loyalty points within the system.
Bleap
URL: https://www.bleap.finance/
An Arbitrum-based fintech app with a debit card. Although this is a financial app, I nevertheless included it since it’s consumer-facing, easy to use, and mobile-friendly.
What’s Missing
Web3 allows us to ditch web2 APIs and build consumer apps on truly open and permissionless protocols.
I’d love to see more everyday web3 apps built on Arbitrum, things like a calendar app, task manager, event organizer (like Meetup), storage app (like Dropbox), blogging platform, music streaming service etc.
Feel free to share in this thread any other Arbitrum-based consumer apps I might have missed, or ideas you’d like to see built.
Having this kind of lists can also support efforts around builder and distribution objectives once the final SOS proposal is approved.
