Product updates
As we continue to evolve our product, here are some of the noteworthy updates this month:
- Rankings 2.0: We’ve turbocharged our Rankings, offering better and faster ways to discover dapps. With more filters and search options, you can now find dapps that best match your interests. Plus, if you’re a DappRadar PRO member, you can take advantage of even more filters. Check out the revamped Rankings.
- Alerts: We’re taking alerts to the next level. Soon, you’ll have the option to get alerts for new NFT collections from all chains we support, not just Ethereum, BNB, and Polygon. This change will make it easier to stay on top of your favorite collections. Set alerts.
- Wallet Labeling: We’ve introduced a new feature called Wallet Interaction Labels. Currently in beta and only for Ethereum-based dapps, these labels categorize wallet activity into three types: Likely Human, Likely Bot, and Mixed. See it in action.
- NFT Aggregators Rankings: Now, we have a separate ranking for NFT aggregators apart from marketplaces. This will help you find the top NFT aggregators based on trading volumes, number of traders, and other key metrics. See the new NFT Aggregators Rankings.
- QuickNode Add-on: We’re excited to introduce our first add-on, DappRadar Verification, now available in beta on QuickNode Marketplace. This tool allows you to verify whether smart contracts, websites, and names of dapps are tracked and available on DappRadar. Try out DappRadar Verification.
- Explore Page: Ready to dive deeper into the world of dapps? Check out our new Explore page! Here, you’ll find what’s trending, newly added dapps, top tokens, and the most significant NFT sales.
