- Web3 community expresses sadness as DappRadar shuts its closure
The Web3 community is reeling after DappRadar, a trusted platform for discovering decentralized applications (dapps), announced it will shut down after seven years of operation. The move has left many developers, users, and investors disappointed, marking the end of an era for the platform that provided essential tools for blockchain tracking and dapp discovery.
DappRadar’s journey began in 2018, during a period when the decentralized application space was rapidly growing. The platform quickly became indispensable for navigating blockchain networks and discovering emerging dapps.
With its robust data and insights, DappRadar helped users understand the complexities of the Web3 ecosystem, making it a go-to resource for anyone involved in decentralized technologies.
However, despite its success and widespread adoption, financial challenges have plagued the platform in recent years. Despite efforts to remain operational, the platform ultimately reached a point where continuing operations was no longer sustainable.

Emotional Reactions Pour In from the Community
The announcement has sparked an overwhelming outpouring of emotional responses from the Web3 community. Many users have expressed deep gratitude for the platform’s role in helping them track blockchain activity and discover new dapps.
Freename (@freename) posted, “We’re really sad to see DappRadar close their doors, especially after having partnered together and seeing firsthand how much work you put into bringing clarity and structure to the space. Your contribution to the ecosystem is genuinely unmatched, and the industry won’t forget what you built. We’ll miss DappRadar! “
Similarly, Hadifab (@HadiYousefy) shared a passionate reaction: “It’s really sad to see how some hands manipulate markets for their profits and sacrifice some truly good projects like DappRadar. I’m afraid to say scammers do not leave, and they stay to scam more while victims have to leave.”
His comment reflects not just sadness, but frustration with how the industry’s challenges have affected good projects like DappRadar.
Mastr (@MastrXYZ) also expressed gratitude for DappRadar’s work: “Thank you to the team at DappRadar. You mapped this entire ecosystem for years, tracked every chain, every dapp, every trend, and gave the space one of the few reliable data sources it ever had. Your work helped builders, analysts, investors, and communities understand what was really happening behind the noise. It would have been an honor to see our work listed with you one day. But the crypto crowd chose a different path.”
A Mixed Response Amidst the Loss
While the closure marks the end of a key resource in the Web3 space, many are hopeful that the platform’s legacy will inspire new solutions. Some members of the community have also expressed their interest in preserving DappRadar’s legacy. Ilan Rakhmanov (@CEOGuy_) offered to take over the platform, stating, “Absolutely love DAppRadar, ChainGPT Labs is more than happy to take over, absorb the burn rate, and continue the legacy.”
As DappRadar begins winding down its services, the community remains hopeful that the Web3 space can continue to thrive despite this significant loss. Although the shutdown is a blow to many, it’s also sparking new conversations around the future of dapp discovery and blockchain transparency in an ever-changing landscape.
