This site was never the most used Dapp, and it was actively phishing people. We will be adding the ability to skip our block page, we don’t mean to tell people what they can visit, but this site is an active scam.

“No wonder Ethereum falls. 75% DApp is a crypto-kittens, fraudulent pyramid scheme, Ponzi and casino games. The remaining 25% is DEX, which nobody uses, because 99% of transactions have on centralized exchanges. And 99% of cryptocurrencies have already lost 99% of its value. A complete collapse!”.
