Applications (DApps and DAOs) developed on Ethereum
There are various implementations of DAOs and smart contracts in Ethereum, most notably, the DAO, which was recently misused due to a weakness in the code and required a hard fork for funds to be recovered that have been syphoned out by the attackers. The DAO was created to serve as a decentralized platform to collect and distribute investments.
Augur is another DApp that has been implemented on Ethereum, which is a decentralized prediction market.
