I am genuinely curious on useful applications for a decentralized ledger, so I skimmed this linkdump.

Background and development information, no applications. This link, by itself, has a massive number of links.

This links is later duplicated, but is also mostly background and developer information. There is one section titled "deployed on Ethereum mainnet" which seems to be mostly dev tools again
- rarity, an MMO (example UI: https://raritymmo.com/). That's kind of cool, if unlikely to be monetizable.
- ronin, a sidechain implementation to support another game called "Axie Infinity".

Another giant linkfarm. Has a "DAPPS" section. Again mostly dev tools or tools for interacting with Ethereum its

elf, but a few things that look like applications:
- a decentralized crowdfunding platform: err, doesn't the money eventually go to a particular endpoint? What's the point of decentralizing this.
- zeronet decentralized websites: bitcoin doesn't provide compute infrastructure or a high-bandwidth distribution mechanism (bittorrent is used for this), so...what does this actually _do_? auth can be handled by TLS.
- augur: platform for prediction markets. interesting idea, but ... ultimately the actual result has to be certified?
I'm out of time but in general I haven't seen a simple example of what problems a decentralized ledger solves, ignoring all the technical issues like energy use and 51% attacks.
