When I judge adoption I look at number of users in gaming and social categories on websites like [dapp](dapp.com), [stateofthedapps](stateofthedapps.com) or [dappradar](dappradar.com). Unfortunately telos isn't listed on any of those websites, so I can't see the numbers. 

Telos however, ranks first on [blocktivity](blocktivity.info) but this comes with a disclaimer that most of the activity is generated by a single miner entity. XRP is ranked second on blocktivity with a similar disclaimer. Since I know XRP is basically BS, I don't know how reliable the adoption of Telos really is. 

Coming back to dapp rankings according to the websites mentioned above, the blockchains that appear in the top for gaming and social apps are the following:

- Ethereum
- EOS
- WAX
- Thundercore
- HIVE

We know Ethereum doesn't scale for social and gaming, and it ranks below HIVE anyway so no competition on that front. ETH will focus on defi longterm, and avoid gaming and social, for scalability reasons (that's just my opinion though).

EOS has lots of bots which is why I remain cautious. The activity spikes weirdly. One day there are 0 apps in the top ranks and the next there are a few. Unless they've seen massive growth recently. 

WAX and Thundercore are both doubtful in terms of decentralization and I couldn't even manage to open one of their games in my browser. It basically doesn't even work. (if someone else could try using those blockchains and giving me some feedback I would appreciate it btw)

I know WAX has a legitimate NFT marketplace but don't know about an actual game similar to slpinterlands. Again, maybe I didn't try hard enough. 

In short, that leaves us with one real choice when you look at real adoption, and it's hive. And obviously ETH for defi. 

I don't look at gambling apps, exchanges, etc... because long term those don't matter without actual apps such as peakd, splinterlands.
