Dear $RADAR fam,
We’ve now entered the fourth and final quarter of the year, and the first three flew by with increasing bitcoin prices, more institutional adoption, the rise of SocialFi, which was then replaced by InfoFi, the comeback for NFTs, and the arrival of tokenized assets. Yes, this was just a tip of the iceberg, and no matter whether you’re talking about NFTs, RWA, AI, SocialFi or other trends, you know that you can find a nice starting page on DappRadar.
Now we’ve entered October, and it’s time to reflect on the developments that happened in September. If you haven’t kept up with our announcements, this is a good moment to catch up and learn everything you need to know to remain a $RADAR alpha. Without much further ado, may Uptober brings us all excitement and good fortune, but first the DAO Newsletter for October 2025. Let’s go!
Product
We kick off the newsletter update with news about products by DappRadar. We’ve deployed quite a few interesting updates in the past month that are worth covering.
- Introduced a new metric; New UAW.
- Chiliz integrated into the Portfolio
- Customization - allowing users to hide section of the homepage
- Freename domain integration, incl. .radar domains as rewards in Season 2
At the beginning of September, we launched New UAW. This metric allows you to discover how many new wallets are engaged with a dapp’s smart contracts for the first time. This allows you to analyze user growth for your favorite projects. This metric can now be seen for dapps on supported chains. Talking about chains. We’ve welcomed Chiliz to our Portfolio, allowing users to see their tokens and NFT assets on Chiliz.
On the DappRadar homepage, and for now only there, any logged in user can hide segments of the homepage. This allows users to use the DappRadar homepage as a much more custom experience. Talking about custom experiences, you can now manage your newsletter preferences straight from your account options… assuming you’re using the same email address for both.
And while you’re doing that, you may want to level up your DappRadar account by completing Quests, following airdrop guides, or using the daily check-in. Users who manage to level up their account to level 40, can claim a free .radar domain name, courtesy of Freename.io. Your very own username.radar can then be shown as your user name on DappRadar. Pretty sweet!
Events, Marketing & Campaigns
Throughout the month we’ve done a couple of initiatives:
- Ongoing promotions to generate user interest in DappRadar API and DappRadar MCP.
- We also kept promoting our XPR Network validator. Which now is 13th on the validator list with 2.099% of the votes.
- The Freename integration was a major campaign for us in September. We’re excited that our community can now purchase a .radar domain name. (Or win one for free through our Quest platform)
Reports, Content and PR
In September we published the following reports:
These reports help us to talk about our data and our product, without being too intrusive. Journalists can acquire valuable information, while we generate headlines that bring in more users.
Another important way to attract users is having content about trending topics. A lot of our content focus went to topics like ‘AI coins’ and ‘AI-powered dapps’. We’ve written a variety of articles to attract organic traffic. We’re already seeing some traction there, and even AI platforms utilize our data and content to communicate with their users.
Despite our efforts, the number of media mentions has seen a low point. In September we had 507 mentions, one of the lowest numbers of the year. However, the quality of those media mentioned was very high. Reputable media and quality websites used our reports and data for their content, resulting in a media reach of 133,590,097. That’s the 2nd highest number of the year!
DappRadar DAO & RADAR
In September we’ve seen the price of $RADAR move between $0.0015 and $0.002. At these prices the PRO membership is an excellent deal, and 29 people noticed this. Thanks to these new members, the total number of PRO members is now 1,119.
Thanks to these new members, the total amount of $RADAR staked on Ethereum now exceeds 107,504,000 tokens. That’s roughly 4 million more than one month ago. On BNB Chain the total number of staked $RADAR tokens is 26,537,400, a small 317,000 $RADAR increase from the previous period.
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! – Read more about PRO
Building trust
DappRadar DAO is building a Trust Layer for AI agents. We call it AgentRadar. We’ve talked about AgentRadar in last month’s update, and I’d like to refer to that post if you want to learn more. I can say that the team is cooking, and we’ve got some nice collabs in the pipeline.
The first partnership we can reveal is one with Intuition. The organization is building a knowledge graph, and together we’ll explore how we can support each other. Imagine a universal reputation layer for AI agents (AgentRadar) which can help Intuition to provide quality information. Ultimately, this synergy will explore how these platforms can work together to provide verified blockchain data and insights, setting a new standard for trust in Web3.
