While the market turned a lot more bullish and macroeconomics are volatile, I’m here with my toes in the sand enjoying a summer break. However, builders keep building, and that’s what the team of DappRadar DAO kept doing. We updated existing products, expanded existing features and made our first steps into AI-powered discovery. All while in the background we’re also building a Trust Layer that verifies all AI agents across the industry. You think that July was a calm month? Nope.
Product
Without a doubt, July has been one of the most innovative months of the year so far. The rise of AI-powered applications has also reached The World’s Dapp Store, and we are on a mission to completely alter the way decentralized applications are discovered. Not only is the future blockchain and data driven, but discovery and understanding of all that data will happen through AI.
In July we launched the Hivemind vision, a look into the future of Web3 discovery. If you haven’t read it yet, I strongly advise you to do it. You will understand the complexities of app discovery in Web3, and you will realize that we are building the solution. Cutting away the noise to get clear insights and knowledge, powered by $RADAR. That’s the mission.
This started with the launch of the DappRadar MCP, a building block for AI agents to tap into DappRadar’s extensive data set. And of course we launched our first agents. Hivemind will consist of many AI Agent Swarms, each swarm on their own built using various agents. These AI Agent Swarms specialize into one specific product, chain or ecosystem. We started with Pixels, the social farming MMO built on Ronin Network.
Despite the summer holidays, the devs have been working hard to launch this new and exciting product. In addition, various other features have been updated.
- You can now connect your Ronin Wallet to DappRadar
- Our Portfolio now also shows your assets on OP Mainnet
Reports & Media Mentions
Media mentions are an important part of spreading the word about DappRadar, and our reports play an important role in that. But at the same time, we’re seeing more onchain activity. There are more wallets active, and these are engaging with more dapps. This also brings media attention to our data, our tools, and all the pages on DappRadar.
In June we recorded 722 media mentions, and that number has improved significantly in July. We recorded a total of 893 media mentions, up 18.9% from the month before and on par with the numbers measured in May.
We expected a slight decrease in media mentions for the months of July and August, but that was clearly not the case. Bullish market sentiment has brought lots of attention to dapps, and through the grapevines we hear the demand for a dapp store. How it’s possible that Web3 users haven’t heard about DappRadar, remains a mystery. However, that’s also a challenge for our team to make sure we reach all users that want to engage with decentralized applications.
We published the Q2 2025 Dapp Industry Report and the Q2 2025 Blockchain Games Report. As always, these reports generate quite some media mentions. Through the month it also became clear that NFTs are making a comeback, while Ethereum celebrated their 10 year anniversary. Sara Gherghelas published a nicely timed report about the past decade, highlighting the rise of dapps. While another report put focus on the growing hype in the NFT market. The media loved it.
Events, campaigns and marketing
Where June was filled to the brim with events, July has been a lot quieter. We didn’t go to any events, but we can already share that Dragos Dunica, our CSO, will be speaking at Blockchain Life in Dubai this October. Taking place on October 28 and 29, Blockchain Life has become one of the leading blockchain events in the EMEA region.
At Blockchain Life 2025 you can expect hundreds of speakers, booths, and many social and networking events. The organization expects over 15 thousand attendees. You can now order your tickets for the event with a 10% discount, using the code ‘dappradar10’.
Furthermore, we can also unveil that we’ve been working hard with Sei and Games on Sei to give you a major Quest Campaign with various nice rewards and prizes. This event should launch very soon, so keep your eyes on our Quest page.
DappRadar DAO and $RADAR
In June we announced a pivot for the $RADAR token, a move that was pushed forward after two exchanges decided to delist $RADAR. We want everything to be onchain, and therefore our liquidity should also take that approach. We want people to use $RADAR, and this requires crypto to be available in hot wallets like MetaMask, Rainbow or Rabby.
In June we announced to have moved our liquidity to Uniswap V4. In addition we have increased that allocation on Ethereum. Furthermore, we’ve moved the liquidity on BNB Chain from ApeSwap to PancakeSwap Infinity. Now, we have RADAR liquidity - majority owned by the DAO - in both these V4 pools.
During the month of July $RADAR has climbed in value, currently sitting at +19% from its value in early July. We expect further growth as Hivemind expands to more ecosystems, and the value proposition of $RADAR within this ecosystem becomes more clear.
DappLaunch
In July we welcomed Cookie3 as a DappLaunch Partner. Cookie3 joins the ranks in an effort to support early-stage Web3 projects with their analytics platform and KOL intelligence tools. Selected projects in the DappLaunch program can tap into services, tools and resources provided by Cookie3 and other partners.
We can expect more partners and selections in the coming months. This may or may not come with benefits for DappRadar PRO members. That’s something that always changes case by case.
PRO membership update
While we’re on the topic of PRO members, let’s take a look at our membership numbers. After a poor month of May, we’ve seen an uptick in June. Last month we reported 1,043 PRO members. We ended July with a total of 1,067 PRO members. That’s an increase of 24 new members, making July the second most successful month of 2025 so far.
There’s now 96.7 million RADAR staked on Ethereum, up from the 92.9 million recorded last month. On BNB Chain the growth is much smaller; from 25.3 million RADAR to 25.6 million. Nonetheless, this brings the total amount of staked RADAR to 122.3 million $RADAR.
Now that’s community conviction!
Don’t forget, the DappRadar PRO membership is the only high quality membership that not only empowers the community, but also lets them earn interest. Simply stake at least 30,000 RADAR and you’re ready to go and call yourself PRO!
Validators
DappRadar DAO and DappRadar UAB support decentralization. Our reliable infrastructure - together with our reputation as an industry-leading data discovery platform - has become increasingly interesting for networks. Therefore, DappRadar DAO has already become a validator for various blockchains.
This July we launched a validator overview page, and we announced that we’re now a block builder for XPR Network. In our validator overview page you can see the other networks we support. We invite you to support your favorite networks, and stake your tokens with our validator. The benefits?
- Help to secure a network
- Support DappRadar DAO
- Earn an APY on your staked assets
Spreading the word
Last month we mentioned the importance of community participation. This will become even more crucial as we build out Hivemind (please read more about it). Community is the foundation of any Web3 project, and from that perspective we’re not much different. We need people who love using our product to explore Web3.
Moreover, we need you - the users that go beyond, and understand the vision of DappRadar as the world’s number one discovery platform for dapps - to make noise. Use our product and share your findings with your friends. Do you discover nice alpha in our data? Share it on X. Give Hivemind a try, and drop some feedback for our devs.
In the past 30 days we’ve seen a nice increase in activity surrounding the DappRadar brand. Through Cookie.fun we can see various team members and community members among the top voices, but we can do more.
Can you spot yourself?
When you share a post using DappRadar products and data, let’s tag each other. We can then amplify each other’s work, follow one another, and grow altogether. We’re the DappCabal! 
No matter the topic in Web3, you can rely on DappRadar to enhance your post, article or blog with additional data. We’re the lemon in your soda, the cherry on your pie, and the sugarcoated edge on the glass of your summer cocktail. We’re DappRadar, and we make your content better.
Let’s make sure YOU end up on this leaderboard next month!
Closing words
Buckle up, RADAR fam! July was a wild ride of innovation, AI-powered breakthroughs, and unstoppable community growth. From Hivemind’s epic launch to $RADAR’s bullish climb, we’re redefining Web3 discovery with a vengeance. Let’s keep the hype buzzing, share the Web3 alpha, tag the DappRadar squad, and make some noise together!
