gm Web3 explorer frens,?
While gaming dapp activity dropped 10% in April to 672,000 daily connected wallets, the amount of investments flowing into the gaming ecosystem keeps growing. New initiatives and businesses pop up, adding for example Mythos, Sui, and even Bitcoin to the blockchain networks that support gaming. In the past month, we’ve seen $421 million invested in gaming projects, metaverse initiatives and technological infrastructure.?
Moreover, established technology and gaming companies feel the positive vibes coming from Web3. This week South Korean publisher Neowiz announced an accelerator fund, Sony has been linked to Web3 initiatives once again, while companies such as Renault and Disney have launched new NFT collections.??
The stars are aligning, and DappRadar is positioning itself as the B2C distribution platform for decentralized applications of all kinds. I’m excited about the times ahead of us, LFG!

Trending dapps and Web3 data this week
?? DeFi on the Solana blockchain seems to be making a comeback. In the past 7 days exchanges such as Raydium and MeanFi have seen an uptick in user numbers. Raydium grew 203% to almost 26,000, while MeanFi added 29.8% to 35,250 connected wallets. This should bode well for Johnny B. Lee games department as well.
?? In the Exchanges category, which traditionally has quite a strong overlap with the DeFi category, we see Uniswap V3 and PancakeSwap V3 steal the spotlight. Both decentralized exchanges have seen an increase in their user numbers. Uniswap grew its audience by 23.9% to 432,900, while PancakeSwap grew a bit more (25.3%) to 432,780 connected wallets.?
?? While most of the talk in the NFT space is about the trading volume of OpenSea and Blur, there’s something else happening when it comes to dapp activity. In the Marketplaces category, we see multichain marketplace GameTrade take the top spot with 239,020 connected wallets, followed by the Uniswap NFT Aggregator. These numbers include wallets that place bids, claim rewards, and list assets, all without actually selling or buying anything. In the DappRadar Rankings for Marketplaces we even see Masa, a newcomer in the charts, surpass Blur in terms of connected wallets.?
