While I agree many of these apps have their values overly inflated if you look closely at their usage, I think measuring web 3 apps with web 2 metrics like DAUs is a bad premise. Most of these services arent replacing social networks or content providers, but are instead providing financial instruments (which users spend a high amount of value on, but don't necessarily use every day.)

Augur may not have a high volume of pure users but there's still a decent amount of money on the line in markets at any given time (1.1 million in USD, at time of writing, according to https://predictions.global/)
