Ethereum remains one of the most practical places to build a decentralised app in 2026, mainly because of its tooling, its security record, and the liquidity that already sits on it. This guide walks through five reasons developers still choose it, along with the trade-offs to weigh before committing.

Dapper Labs announced a $725 million fund to attract developers to its Flow blockchain. This explainer covers what was announced, how ecosystem funds work, and where to check the fund's current status.
Everscale is a sharded layer-1 that splits work across parallel chains and uses asynchronous messages. This guide explains how that design targets scalability, fees and wallet limits, and what trade-offs remain.
Fuse Network is an EVM-compatible chain that has positioned itself around mobile payments, community currencies and consumer wallets. This guide explains what that means in practice, how to use it safely, and what to verify before relying on it.
