Ethereum has a ton of tokens and more are being added all the time including some we though would be on the SMT here at steem. However still Months later we have not a single update on SMT from the steemit company and honestly I have to say I don't see it happening any time sorry :/

That being said Ethereum seems to still be the place to launch new tokens and I expect to see this increasing. The reason for this is the new updates to the Ethereum blockchain have mad it easier for Dapps to connect into the Ethereum network.

The biggest tokens you should be watching out for this year are as follows.

BAT

BAT or (Basic Attention Token) is what is used on the Brave browser. Currently in beta still the ad network will pay users for opting into viewing ads. Those tokens can either be kept or used to tip your favorite content creators such as on youtube or twitch.

BAT current sits in 27th on crypto market cap with 246 Million cap and 12-13 million daily volume.

It is also very easy to change from the Chrome browser to brave with a simple import button or just logging into your Google account.

iExec (RLC)

RLC token is currently in 125th spot on crypto market cap so a rather sizable token. A Market cap of 32.6 Million and almost 1 million in daily transactions.

The core idea behind this one is cloud based computing. It honestly reminds me of Gridcoin but this is more of an open ended project where smaller or large projects where they can tap into resources on the cloud network on the fly.

I do have a strong feeling this is where we might end up a few years down the road.

With systems such as Stadia where you can stream games from the cloud and don't need the hardware yourself. If that pans out well I feel like it will explode into other areas such as research, cloud computing etc.

Maker (MKR)

MKR sits at 16th on coin market cap with 727 million in cap and 4 million in daily trading.

I will be honest with you this one still confuses me a bit and there seems to be a good deal to it.

It is based on ETH but locking up ETH to earn the MAKER token in which uses DAI a stable coin but instead of a 1:1 fiat in banks(which is boring as F Zzzz..) It instead bases its price off of Ethereum.
