After seven years, it's time to say goodbye.
We've made the difficult decision to shut down the DappRadar platform.
Running a platform of this scale became financially unsustainable in the current environment, and after exploring every option, we had to make the difficult decision to wind things down.
When we started back in 2018, the space was still at the beginning. A few early dapps, a few curious builders, and a lot of open questions about where decentralized applications might go. Inspired by CryptoKitties, we built DappRadar to help people discover and understand this new world.
We've been through bull markets and bear markets. We're proud to have helped millions of users discover dapps, do research, and learn through our content. We worked with hundreds of blockchains and thousands of developers and projects. Our data was cited by journalists, used in research papers, and shared in languages across the world.
Blockchain can often feel chaotic, and our mission was to make it more understandable and trustworthy. As we step away, we do so knowing we did the right things, stayed true to our principles, and were a net positive to this industry.
In the coming days, we'll start winding down the platform and as part of this process, we'll stop tracking blockchains and dapps and begin shutting down associated services.
Regarding the DAO and the RADAR token, this will be communicated separately through the usual DAO channels. There are still decisions to be made, and we want the community to be part of that discussion.
The mission to help people explore and understand decentralized applications shouldn't end here. The Web3 space still needs a home for discovery, and we hope someone will fill that gap and carry the torch forward.
To our community, our partners, our investors, and everyone who believed in us: thank you for your trust, your feedback, your patience, and your energy. You made this journey memorable.
