This report covers the performance of DappRadar in 2022. The report examines application integrations, the way they interact with the community, and the most popular dApps among users. However, the platform, as always, uses statistical data to support the results. And they will use this data to improve themselves and their products next year.
An Overview of DappRadar
Developers have sent 8,255 dApps to DappRadar this year. 5,604 of these dApps were manually verified by the platform team. 1,523 were accepted by machine learning tools. However, 72 dApps still require approval to be included in the ranking. However, to protect their community, the DappRadar team also rejected 1,056 dApps due to the need to show only verified dApps.
The dApps that were sent to the DappRadar, which rose from 7,187 to 8,255 last year, marked a new milestone for the platform. There is a lot of development going on and a lot of developers are sending their work to DappRadar. Therefore, it is obvious that Web3 will be used more widely in 2023.
The majority of the dApps reported to DappRadar are in the DeFi and Games category, as shown in the graph below. Decentralized finance accounts for 30.5% of approved dapps, of which 18.9% are games.
This situation shows how current Web3 investments and resources are focused on these two sectors in 2022. For example, the gaming sector has recorded significant growth in recent months, and it is a fact that a similar, or even greater, growth is expected in 2023.
Who Are DappRadar Users?
Statistically, the platform’s users can be considered in 3 different categories.

Hobbies
Based on their interests, DappRadar has created rough drafts of the profiles of its users. The following categories include the ten most remarkable types of people.
How Do Users Prefer to Use DappRadar?
The information below shows that the Rankings tab is the category most frequently visited by people. There are two reasons why people prefer this category to find the best dApps. The first is that it powers the world’s Dapp Store. The other is that it uses metrics that can be verified on-chain and taken directly from blockchains. The Rankings section accounts for 26.8% of all visitors to DappRadar, proving how important the platform’s work is.
Pages related to games, on the other hand, are among the second most visited category. Games accounted for 49% of all application activities in 2022. This sector has the fastest Web3 growth. This shows that a large part of DappRadar users visit the pages to find the best new games.
NFT-related pages on DappRadar make up the third most frequently visited category on the platform. The year started well for the digital collections, artworks, wearables, and virtual real estate market, but in the second half, spending declined significantly. In January 2022, traders spent $ 5.7 billion on NFTs. However, this amount has decreased to 0.5 billion dollars as of November.
The Most Talked-About dApps of the Year
Over the past year, DappRadar has worked to increase the transparency of the dapp industry. DappRadar highlights dApps on its blog that outperform competitors or quickly attract attention. The dApps in each category that were included in the DappRadar Rankings this year and gained momentum among DappRadar users are shared below:
- Game – Tiny World
- Social – Galxe
- DeFi – GoodDollar
- Marketplace – X2Y2
- Collectibles – Otherdeed for Otherside
In short, these are the most popular dApps in 2022.
Final Say
Transparency is the most important component of the Web3 industry. This is one of the most important lessons that can be learned when considering the year 2022. This developing industry can be extremely vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances. The platform helps consumers gain comprehensive and unbiased insights about dapps, protocols, and blockchain ecosystems by providing data-driven information about DeFi, NFTs, games, and more.
Even though the bear market was entered in 2022, Web3 implementers and developers still have not lost hope. The platform contains more dApps this year. This in turn helps consumers to see a more accurate map of the blockchain ecosystem. As developers continue to create, the platform also aims to provide users, investors, and other stakeholders with better tools to help them better understand this rapidly developing industry.
