Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Daily General Discussion - April 12, 2023
The Gitcoin website has some of the worst information architecture, I have no idea what their team is doing. I can't imagine how many people visited gitcoin.co to donate and couldn't figure out how.

GitCoin : Gitcoin is the easiest way to monetize or incentivize work in Open Source Software.

Do you as a socialist consider blockchain tech as a path towards a worker-owned means of production? It’s the primary goal of many crypto projects.
Also, check out Gitcoin: https://gitcoin.co/ (which coincidentally does have a token) but has funneled over $65m directly to open source software developers. They’ve also recently formed a foundation that is governed by the token holders.

Reminder for people interested in Bisq to get involved in discussing proposals on GitHub
There's other projects that have tried implementing something similar though.

Ethereum Development Documentation
The main use cases where a blockchain makes most sense are all financials. Unless there is store of value or transfer of value, you can usually get away with less headache with centralised solutions.
This being said, there are couple of notable efforts outside pure financial protocols.
ENS is alternative for DNS: https://ens.domains/ (domain names may have a lot of value OFC)
Gitcoin is a “grant DAO”: https://gitcoin.co/
Lens tries to rebuild social media with a user in control: https://lens.xyz/ (the long term plan is to have uncollateralised lending if we have your social graph available)

I Looked into 34 Top Real-World Blockchain Projects So You Don’t Have To
"Google search is bad" is not a surprising premise for an article no matter what topic.
If you want to find interesting blockchain projects (not necessarily impactful, but interesting), I would spend some time clicking around https://gitcoin.co/

There is an airdrop available for FRZ if you've held any NFTs... the full list of qualifications are here.
The initial supply of FRZ is 100,000,000. Of this: The largest amount ~42,000,000 were allocated to an airdrop to 230,000+ ETH mainnet addresses that met a variety of DeFi & NFT activity conditions including: - being liquidated on AAVE - Earning WETH fees from providing [anything]/WETH liquidity on Uniswap v3 - Holding Lido Staked ETH - Donating ETH to the official Ukraine ETH address - Holding a Zapper Season 1 NFT - Holding a Yearn Finance NFT - Holding a LobsterDAO NFT - Earning a Rabbithole Educational NFT - Donating to Gitcoin grants in Seasons 7-13 - Holding a variety of Creative Commons Public Domains (CC0) NFTs including: Tubbycats, Cryptoadz, MFERs, Nouns, TinyDino, Cryptodickbutts, Chainrunner, Goblintown, and Timeless NOTE: due to practical realities of claiming an airdrop on expensive ETH mainnet, we removed addresses who earned too few FRZ from their activity to make claiming viable gas-wise. We also capped the amount of FRZ earned for those who only met 1-2 categories (i.e., some NFT whales were capped). We then smoothed the airdrop amounts to increase the minimum amounts earned of those eligible while weighting these categories at different amounts to prevent Sybil attacks (where people prep lots of addresses to be airdrop eligible). Including bonuses for meeting multiple categories with the same address.

The emperor has no clothes
To answer your last question first, crypto clearly is a superior platform for finance, exactly because of the explosion in "self-referential shell games" - it's in fact an extreme democratizer of "finance" - anyone can create their own liquidity pools, it's trivial to create not just CDOs, but CDO2s, 3s 4s, and they all run 24/7 forever. (no, this does not have much relevance to "real" economic activity, but this is true of almost all financialization and the more people that people understand that the better, IMO)

Now for some of the more useful/interesting stuff I've seen:
Gitcoin has been pioneering Quadratic Funding for open source projects for some time now: https://github.com/gitcoinco/quadratic-funding
They recent launched a governance token and DAO (many other projects have been experimenting with various types of on-chain governance models).
Both of these pursuits are widely applicable for creating sustainable models for funding and managing distributed common good projects.
Brave has over 25M active users and has built a model on their token to pay website users and creators for ads, as well as allow in-browser tipping, etc.
Many DeFi projects are experimenting with various novel forms of tokenomics (hold X tokens to access Y features; yield earned w/ Z tokens accrue to the developers) which are interesting alternatives for creating sustainable development/operational models for software.
There are projects that are doing interesting work bridging digital and physical assets (particularly in harmonizing the legal mechanisms for property) like Mattereum, but I'd argue even the simplest types of digital-only tokenization become interesting when it can be made composable with other dapps (eg, fractional ownership of projects that can later be made liquid on the open market or that can be collateralized). This ties back to the domain of not just coordinating, but incentivizing distributed collaboration/human resources.
