Why Most dApp Lists Suck

Most dApp ranking sites are broken. Here's why — and how we're fixing it.

The Problem

  • Token-gated rankings that favor projects with marketing budgets
  • Paid placements disguised as 'organic' rankings
  • Vanity metrics that don't reflect real usage
  • No transparency about ranking methodology
  • Bias toward newer projects with flashy UIs

How We're Different

At DappInsight, we believe rankings should be:

  • Based on real metrics, not marketing spend
  • Transparent about our methodology
  • Focused on user safety and security
  • Updated with real-time data
  • Free from paid placements

The DeFi space deserves better than pay-to-play rankings. We're building the platform we wish existed when we started exploring DeFi.
