Products & Services

DappRadar functions as a dapp discovery portal, providing a gateway for blockchain users to explore and uncover the newest and most popular dapps. One of DappRadar's strengths lies in its dedication to educating visitors about multiple blockchains, including popular ones like ETH, BNB, and Polygon, among others. By providing comprehensive data and insights on dapps and the corresponding blockchain platforms, one of the main challenges dapp users can experience is discovering new applications, whether it be for work, play, or investment. They need to use a plethora of disparate tools to find what they are looking for. For example, browsing through X, going to various Discord channels or just simply searching on the web. Even then, surface level research often does not yield important information about dapps such as, for example, how active a dapp is. While activity is possible to denote through a block explorer, that requires technical knowledge, creating a barrier for many potential users. DappRadar is built with the pure intention of dapp discovery, allowing users to find new applications simply, understand how they perform, and use them. DappRadar does not focus on a specific vertical or category. If a user wants to learn about blockchain gaming, NFTs and DeFi, there is no need for them to use three different platforms. All their needs can be fulfilled by simply using DappRadar. Our product aims to enhance Soroban in the following ways: Attract new users and developers: by integrating on DappRadar, Soroban will be featured alongside 60 other chains, allowing DappRadar’s highly specialized audience, as well as its developer community, to discover Soroban and its dapps. Performance comparison: Soroban dapp users and developers can compare their performance with others in the industry using DappRadar's rankings. Increased traffic to dapps: on average DappRadar sends approximately one million users a month to dapps across all of its integrated chains. Media exposure: DappRadar's articles and reports highlighting positive protocol activity have been quoted by top blockchain media, providing additional exposure for Soroban and its ecosystem. Overall, integrating Soroban on DappRadar will bring new users, provide performance insights, drive traffic, engage experienced builders, offer gaming metrics, showcase activity, and generate media exposure, enhancing the Soroban and its dapp ecosystem. To complete the integration, the DappRadar team will use nodes or blockchain APIs to collect Soroban’s raw blockchain data. Afterwards, the data will be indexed and displayed on DappRadar’s rankings page. The goal of the integration is to track the main DappRadar metrics: UAW (unique active wallets), dapps incoming volume to smart contracts, number of transactions in smart contracts and token balances on smart contracts.
