Dapp

Dapps are digital applications that run on a P2P network of computers rather than a single server, typically utilizing smart contracts to ensure transparency and uptime. In 2026, Dapps have achieved mass-market appeal through Account Abstraction, allowing for a "Web2-like" user experience with the security of Web3. This tag covers the entire ecosystem of decentralized software—from social media and productivity tools to governance platforms and identity management.

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

Author: Zen, PANews Like leaves falling endlessly, the "death" of numerous projects is an inevitable stage in the industry cycle as it enters a downturn, something that practitioners have long been accustomed to. However, the announcement yesterday by the well-known decentralized application data platform DappRadar that it will cease operations still sent shockwaves through the entire industry. In less than 24 hours, DappRadar's announcement tweet had garnered over 1.6 million views. The phrase "Seven years later, it's time to say goodbye" evoked sadness, nostalgia, and a desire to offer help. CoinMarketCap CEO @RushCMC asked, "Is there any way to keep you here?" Many others lamented, "In a pure Web3 world, projects like DappRadar should be thriving." The "seven-year itch" is difficult to overcome; business shut down due to imbalance between income and expenditure. On November 17, 2025, DappRadar co-founders Skirmantas Januskas and Dunica Dragos announced on the social media platform X that they would be gradually ceasing their data tracking services for all blockchains and DApps over the next few days. They stated that they had tried various options in the past, but ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down the business. The two founders stated that in the seven years since its inception, the DappRadar platform has collaborated with hundreds of blockchains and thousands of projects. However, the platform's current scale and cost structure are no longer compatible with the market environment, and operating a platform of this size is financially unsustainable. To some extent, the massive data infrastructure built during the high traffic of the bull market has become a money-burning "burden" during the long bear market. Coupled with the lack of revenue channels, this has contributed to its current situation of being unable to make ends meet and becoming unsustainable. DappRadar has previously raised approximately $7.33 million in two funding rounds, including a $5 million Series A round in May 2021 led by Prosus Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Blockchain Ventures and others. During that period of cryptocurrency adoption and rampant speculation, these funds were used to expand data coverage and product functionality. Regarding the platform token, the DappRadar team adopted a gradual release strategy. Its native token, RADAR, initially had a relatively small circulating supply. Launched in December 2021, approximately 10.6% of the total supply was released by the end of 2023. However, after the beginning of 2024, the price of RADAR tokens generally declined continuously, falling far from its peak of $0.05, a drop of over 97% . RADAR token price chart, data source: CoinGecko Following the announcement of the shutdown, the price of RADAR plummeted by approximately 30% that day, reaching around $0.0006838 as of 7 PM Beijing time on November 18th. The team has not yet clarified the future arrangements for the RADAR token and DappRadar DAO, only stating that they will solicit opinions through community channels and announce their decision. Why is DappRadar's business model unsustainable? The financial unsustainability stems more from DappRadar's business model and revenue streams. As a data platform, the issuance and operation of the RADAR token is also part of its business model and is tied to user paid subscriptions. In 2021, when DappRadar issued its native token RADAR, it also launched the DappRadar PRO premium membership service. Compared to the basic features of the free version for regular users, PRO members can access exclusive data, customized alerts, advanced filtering, and other exclusive benefits. Unlike traditional paid subscription models, DappRadar PRO uses a token staking system: users must stake a certain amount of RADAR tokens to activate their membership, with a 30-day unlocking cooldown period. This design, on the one hand, promotes token demand, and on the other hand, incentivizes users to hold tokens long-term through a 15% annualized staking reward. This approach of linking advanced features with the token economy can theoretically drive token value growth through user holdings and staking. Targeting B2B clients, DappRadar primarily monetizes through advertising via its data community. Advertising formats include banner ads on its website, sponsored articles, social media promotions, co-hosting online events, email marketing, and sponsoring token airdrops, with varying pricing structures. During the industry's heyday, these revenue streams were substantial and constituted a significant portion of DappRadar's income. During a period of narrative failure and market downturn, DappRadar also experimented with launching other services to increase platform revenue. In May of this year, DappRadar also launched the DappRadar Premium subscription service for developers, which is charged per Dapp at $249 per project per month. Purchasing a premium subscription entitles users to greater exposure on project pages, priority review of submitted updates, more detailed monthly traffic and on-chain metric reports, and customized data dashboards. This model essentially charges projects a marketing and data analytics service fee, aiming to generate recurring revenue for the platform. Clearly, this measure proved ineffective, and six months after the launch of DappRadar Premium, DappRadar reached its end. Essentially, its meager revenue was inextricably linked to the decline of the very sector it chose to focus on. The Great Decline of GameFi and the NFT Industry Although DappRadar has been providing data on all categories of dApps, and its homepage navigation covers multiple categories such as DeFi, NFTs, Games, Tokens, and Exchanges, its brand influence and revenue opportunities are highly concentrated in the blockchain gaming and NFT sectors. During the previous bull market, its rankings, market data, and reports were frequently cited by the media, investors, and players. Especially in the blockchain gaming/GameFi sector, during the period when the P2E model maintained high activity, the DappRadar platform was favored for its comprehensive, accurate, and objective data, becoming a significant driver of its traffic growth. DappRadar has also remained true to its original mission, cultivating deep expertise in the gaming field for a long time, and its original content, such as blog posts and reports, is mostly related to blockchain gaming. Upon hearing the news of DappRadar's shutdown, Jihoz, co-founder of the well-known blockchain game Axie Infinity and the gaming public chain Ronin, expressed his deep sadness, saying that checking their game's ranking on the Ethereum leaderboard every day had become a daily habit. Even when Jihoz first met his future wife in 2019, he introduced her to her, saying, "Our game is ranked number one on DappRadar, with 200 daily active users." Another strength of DappRadar is its NFT market data tracking and ranking system, which is also a tool for many NFT players to learn about data when they first enter the field. NFT marketplace Element stated that DappRadar, as one of the most comprehensive NFT data platforms, has been used by them to track industry trends, and said, "DappRadar has always been a veteran in the cryptocurrency field, and it is a pity to see it come to an end." As the saying goes, "what goes up must come down." With the continued decline in the activity of NFTs and GameFi after 2022, project marketing budgets have shrunk, and user and media attention has decreased. DappRadar's two most commercially promising businesses have long since faded away. According to DappRadar's latest blockchain game report , the average daily active wallets for blockchain games in the third quarter were 4.66 million, a further decrease of 4.4% compared to the second quarter. In the first quarter of this year, there were 5.8 million, and the number has been slowly declining ever since. Furthermore, in the second quarter of 2025 alone, more than 300 Web3 games ceased updates or shut down, accounting for approximately 8% of the games listed on the platform. The NFT sector is also facing difficulties. According to CoinGecko data , the global NFT market capitalization plummeted by $3.5 billion in one month, from approximately $6.6 billion on October 5th, a drop of 45%. Even though sales increased in October, briefly pushing up the floor price of blue-chip NFTs, the market remains deeply sluggish. As a result, the disappearance of a large number of games and NFT projects and the continuous decrease in active players have led to a shrinking of the active ecosystem that platforms like DappRadar, which provide blockchain game and NFT data, can cover, and the external attention to the platform has also decreased accordingly. Finally, as DappRadar came to an end, many of the platform's longtime users began to realize—that it had such a difficult journey. This sense of loss and remembrance is both the highest respect for DappRadar and a poignant reminder of the industry's decline and dullness.

Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer

Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer

The post Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Interop Layer aims to let users and developers interact with all L2 networks as if they were a single chain. Ethereum on Tuesday released new technical details about its upcoming Interop Layer, a system meant to make the network’s growing Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem work like a single chain. In a post from Yoav Weiss of Ethereum’s Account and Chain Abstraction team, the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), originally unveiled this past summer, is described as a way for users to send tokens, mint NFTs, and trade across different rollups without switching networks or relying on bridges. The system also aims to eliminate the need for wallets and dapps to integrate with each L2 separately, reducing engineering work and reliance on third-party services, the post explains. If successful, the EIL could address one of Ethereum’s biggest usability issues: fragmentation across rollups. Instead of dealing with multiple networks, bridges, and gas tokens, users and devs could interact with L2s as if they were all part of a single chain. Ethereum is currently the world’s largest smart contract blockchain with a total value locked (TVL) of over $72.5 billion in decentralized finance (DeFi), according to DefiLlama. Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) is currently trading at $3,000 with a market cap of nearly $364 billion, making it the second largest cryptocurrency, according to The Defiant’s price page. How it Works Marissa Posner, of the Ethereum Foundation’s Product team, explained to The Defiant that EIL is automatically compatible with all EVM L2s. “Since all we need is that the L2 is an EVM compatible rollup, anyone can deploy EIL, and it doesn’t require explicit integration with the L2,” she said. “For v1, there are a few requirements: Settle to Ethereum L1, expose a canonical bridge, and be EVM-compatible.” To send multichain transactions, wallets…

Top Altcoins Heat Up as $BTC Trends Down – Bitcoin Hyper Could Pump Next

Top Altcoins Heat Up as $BTC Trends Down – Bitcoin Hyper Could Pump Next

What to Know: The altcoin market is showing a distinct preference for projects with strong technological fundamentals and clear utility over purely speculative assets. Recent price predictions suggest a 300% pump for $SHIB if the token reaches two critical levels, which would set it up for an aggressive rally. Bitcoin Hyper introduces a Layer 2 solution that brings high-speed smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem via a Solana Virtual Machine integration. The $HYPER presale raised over $27.8M so far with a token price of $0.013295 and staking rewards currently at 41%. The altcoin market is at a fascinating crossroads. While speculative assets have dominated cycles past, a clear trend toward utility is emerging. Investors are looking past fleeting hype, demanding projects with sustainable technology and real-world use cases. This shift in sentiment is reshaping the altcoin market outlook for 2025, forcing a re-evaluation of long-term value. Take top altcoins like Shiba Inu, for instance, which is currently at a crossroads, showing clear-cut signs of consolidation and momentum buildup. Trader’s expectation of a 300% $SHIB pump long-term is no longer unrealistic, provided $SHIB can hold two critical levels. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently at the opposite end of the spectrum, after crashing below $90K today. The reasons are multiple, from bulk whale sells to dwindling investor participation and increased fear. But there’s another problem worth talking about. Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, offers unparalleled security and trust but its slow transaction speeds, high fees, and lack of native smart contract capabilities, have hindered its investor appeal. Right now, Bitcoin ranks 30th in terms of TPS. A new contender, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to solve this trilemma directly. As the newest Bitcoin Layer 2 solution integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Hyper promises to unlock Bitcoin’s dormant potential. By creating a high-speed execution layer on top of Bitcoin’s secure settlement, Bitcoin Hyper introduces the programmability and performance needed for modern dApps. This approach could fundamentally alter the competitive dynamics of the blockchain space, bringing high-performance applications to the industry’s most trusted network. Bitcoin Hyper Redefines Speed and Programmability Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) tackles Bitcoin’s core limitations head-on. Its modular architecture uses Bitcoin’s Layer 1 for ultimate security and settlement while a real-time SVM-based Layer 2 handles transaction execution. This allows for extremely low-latency processing and high-speed, low-cost transactions. The project’s decentralized Canonical Bridge facilitates seamless and secure cross-minting of $BTC into its L2 environment. By integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, Bitcoin Hyper brings fast, scalable smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem. This move enables developers to build sophisticated DeFi applications, NFT platforms, and gaming dApps using familiar tools like the Rust programming language. This innovative approach is capturing significant attention. The ongoing presale for its native token, $HYPER, has already raised an impressive $27.8M+ at the time of writing, with $HYPER sitting at $0.013295. This strong demand signals major investor confidence in the project’s vision. If this type of hype continues, $HYPER could explode post release. Our price prediction for $HYPER, based on the project’s utility and community support, puts the token at $0.08625 by the end of 2026. In terms of ROI, we’re talking about potential profits of 548%. This is enough of an incentive for any crypto hunter looking for portfolio diversification. If this sounds like you, make sure you read our guide on how to buy $HYPER today. Check $HYPER’s live presale today. A New Ecosystem for DeFi, Gaming, and Payments The implications of bringing high-performance smart contracts to Bitcoin are massive. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) unlocks a wide range of use cases previously impossible on the network, creating a new ecosystem for developers and users alike. Developers can build swaps, lending platforms, and staking protocols that leverage Bitcoin’s liquidity with the speed of an SVM chain. For everyday traders, use cases range from high-speed payments in wrapped $BTC with minimal fees to comprehensive DeFi protocols. With presale tokens currently priced at $0.013295, early participants are getting in at the ground floor – an opportunity which won’t last long anymore. The project has a projected release window between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 so, if you want to invest, invest today. Secure your $HYPER today. This isn’t financial advice. DYOR and manage risks wisely before investing. Crypto is a high-risk market and presales have no success guarantee.

Bitcoin vs Cardano: Their Key Differences

Bitcoin vs Cardano: Their Key Differences

Bitcoin is seen as a safer store of value, while Cardano focuses on providing a flexible smart contract platform with faster transaction speeds. These two popular cryptocurrencies serve different roles and have unique goals, making them both important but in different ways.Investors often compare them to decide which one fits their needs best. Bitcoin is known for its security and long history, while Cardano attracts those interested in new blockchain technology and energy-efficient networks. Each has key strengths and weaknesses that are important to understand before making a decision.What is Bitcoin?Bitcoin is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created as a decentralized digital currency that allows people to send and store value without relying on banks. It uses a Proof-of-Work system, where miners secure the network through computational power, making it highly secure but energy-intensive. Bitcoin is widely viewed as “digital gold” because of its limited supply and strong track record, and it is primarily used as a store of value or hedge against inflation.What is Cardano?Cardano, on the other hand, is a third-generation blockchain designed to improve on earlier networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It uses a Proof-of-Stake system called Ouroboros, which is far more energy-efficient and supports faster, cheaper transactions. Built through peer-reviewed research, Cardano focuses on smart contracts, decentralized applications, digital identity, and asset tokenization, offering a flexible platform for real-world blockchain solutions.Bitcoin vs Cardano: Core DifferencesASPECTBITCOIN (BTC)CARDANO (ADA)Primary RoleDigital money and “digital gold” used mainly as a store of valueFlexible smart contract platform for dApps, DeFi, identity, and asset tokenizationConsensus MechanismProof-of-Work (PoW)Proof-of-Stake (PoS) – OuroborosBlock CreatorsMiners solving computational puzzlesValidators / stakers selected based on staked ADAEnergy UseVery high; mining consumes large amounts of electricityVery low relative to PoW; designed to be energy-efficientTransaction Throughput7 transactions per secondHundreds of transactions per second (200+ in design/benchmarks)Confirmation TimeTypically minutes, slower when network is busyTypically seconds, even under higher loadTypical FeesHigher, especially during congestionGenerally lower and more predictableSmart Contracts & dAppsLimited scripting; not optimized for complex dAppsBuilt for smart contracts and dApps from the start with a layered architectureDevelopment PhilosophyConservative, security-first, prefers gradual, proven changesResearch-driven, peer-reviewed, more experimental and flexibleGovernance StructureInformal, open-source proposals debated by developers and minersStructured governance via Cardano Foundation, IOHK, EMURGO, plus community votingSupply & Issuance ModelMax 21M BTC; new supply halves every 4 years (“halving”)Max 45B ADA; distribution via staking rewards with capped total supplyEnvironmental & SustainabilityCriticized for high carbon footprint; some shift to greener mining sourcesPromotes low-carbon PoS, carbon tracking, and environmental projects (e.g., reforestation)Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are the key differences between Bitcoin and Cardano in terms of technology and use cases?Bitcoin was designed as a digital alternative to money. Its main use is as a store of value and a way to make peer-to-peer payments.Cardano was built for secure, scalable blockchain applications. It focuses on creating a flexible platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.How does the transaction speed and scalability of Bitcoin compare with Cardano?Bitcoin can process about 3 to 7 transactions per second. This speed can slow down during times of high use.Cardano is faster, processing several hundred transactions per second under normal conditions. It uses new technology to scale better as more users join.Can you explain the differences in the consensus mechanisms between Bitcoin and Cardano?Bitcoin uses Proof of Work. In this system, miners use computer power to solve math problems and confirm transactions.Cardano relies on Proof of Stake. Here, people who own ADA coins can help confirm transactions and earn rewards based on their holdings, not on energy use.What are the energy consumption implications for Bitcoin versus Cardano?Bitcoin uses a lot of electricity because of its Proof of Work system. This has raised concerns about its environmental impact.Cardano was designed to be much more energy-efficient. Its Proof of Stake method uses a small fraction of the power compared to Bitcoin.In terms of investment potential, how do Bitcoin and Cardano differ?Bitcoin is more established and often seen as a long-term store of value. It has the highest market cap and strong recognition.Cardano is newer and has shown growth but comes with more risk. It focuses on technical features and aims to solve some of the problems seen in other blockchains.

CoinFello to Launch as The First Self-Sovereign AI Agent for Using and Automating Any Smart Contract

CoinFello to Launch as The First Self-Sovereign AI Agent for Using and Automating Any Smart Contract

The post CoinFello to Launch as The First Self-Sovereign AI Agent for Using and Automating Any Smart Contract appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Disclaimer: The below article is sponsored, and the views in it do not represent those of ZyCrypto. Readers should conduct independent research before taking any actions related to the project mentioned in this piece. This article should not be regarded as investment advice. At the DevConnect in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the renowned crypto firm HyperPlay has announced plans to disclose the launch of CoinFello, the world’s first AI-agentic app for using and automating any smart contract protocol. Following its design, CoinFello provides users with a simple chat interface that understands on-chain context, executes user intents, and automates smart contract interactions, all in plain language. Although its public release is scheduled for Q1 2026, CoinFello is currently available in a private alpha testing cohort. To help mainstream users seamlessly onboard into DeFi, CoinFello combines the user’s wallet with a user agent that anticipates user needs to make crypto easy, fun, and safe. While it is built on both EigenCloud and the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit, developed by Consensys, CoinFello ensures that users remain in full custody of their funds while interacting with CoinFello’s advanced AI LLM. CoinFello receives a delegation from the user’s existing MetaMask wallet (or can create a new MetaMask wallet directly within the CoinFello app). Advertisement &nbsp In addition to this, CoinFello enables MetaMask users to leverage an intuitive, intent-based system, solving many of the greatest user experience problems that prevent mainstream adoption of crypto, such as discovering DeFi protocols that best meet a user’s needs. Thus, it abstracts away the complexities of dealing with gas, explaining what smart contracts do in plain language, and automating cross-chain transactions. For example, CoinFello users can prevent liquidations by instructing their assistant to automatically reallocate funds in the event of black swan events, such as those…
