How We Rank dApps (And Why It Matters)
5 min read
By DappInsight Team
We don't rank dApps by vibes or marketing budgets. At DappInsight, we use real metrics to evaluate decentralized applications — so users can make informed decisions based on facts, not hype.
Our Ranking Formula
Each dApp's Trust Score is calculated using:
Total Value Locked (TVL)
Higher TVL suggests greater usage and liquidity.
Audit Status
Audited dApps receive a boost; unaudited ones get flagged.
GitHub Activity
We check for open-source transparency and development momentum.
Multi-Chain Presence
Supporting multiple blockchains earns points for accessibility.
7-Day TVL Change
Sudden drops raise red flags; consistent growth is rewarded.
We don't accept payment to inflate rankings. What you see is based on math — not marketing.
