Farewell DappRadar: Blockchain’s Blazing Comet Fizzles Out in Style 🎭

by

Well, darlings, it appears our beloved DappRadar has finally decided to hang up its hat after a flamboyant seven-year run. Yes, the shimmering platform that tracked every dapp in the blockchain jungle has bowed out, citing that financial mumbo jumbo just isn’t cutting it anymore. 💸

And just like that, the RADAR token took a nosedive of about 30% faster than you can say “bankruptcy,” on November 17th. Who knew that crypto dreams could fade so swiftly? 🎢

The service, which once proudly boasted monitoring 18,111 dapps across a dizzying 93 blockchains, is now saying its final goodbye – in the coming days, no less. According to their official tweet – yes, the very same platform that once cheerfully tracked blockchain marvels – it’s game over for tracking blockchain and dapps. Cheers! 🥂

After seven years of glamorous service, it’s time to move on. 🕊️

Founders Skirmantas Januškas and Dragos Dunica, with the flair of seasoned performers, declared, “Running a platform of this scale became financially unsustainable in the current environment.” Quite the dramatic exit, wouldn’t you say? 💼

Needless to say, at the moment of farewell, RADAR was trading at a mere $0.00067, which plummeted faster than a soufflé in a thunderstorm. Bravo, brave tokens! 🥂

Legacy, Funding & Fanfare

Our dear DappRadar was born in the jazzy year of 2018, inspired by the CryptoKitties craze that swept the world late 2017. It proudly tracked 18,111 dapps across 93 blockchains and served a whopping half a million monthly admirers-in March 2025, no less. Quite the crowd! 🎉

Funding, darling? They raised a modest $7.33 million in two rounds-$2.33M in 2019 and a cool $5M in 2021-courtesy of some investors with posh names like Prosus and Lightspeed. All this from a humble Lithuanian base in Kaunas, employing somewhere between 11 and 50 talented souls. Such a small team, such a big dream! ✨

Money Matters & Mysteries

The treasury, which was once overflowing with assets, now holds just over 1.6 million dollars-mostly RADAR tokens (a whopping 97%). Their stablecoins stash, USDT, amounts to $46,162-enough to buy a fancy coffee, perhaps, if coffee cost what crypto does. ☕️

With a monthly burn of around $15,500 and about three months of runway left (if they keep burning through stablecoins at this rate), the future looks as uncertain as a hat in a hurricane. The RADAR tokens? Still unliquidated, the last remnants of their once-glorious empire.

What’s Next in the Industry Fright?

Of course, when one platform folds, others giggle and take note. DeFiLlama and Dune Analytics continue the noble quest of tracking blockchain chaos-though everyone’s feeling a bit jittery these days. Recent chaos includes Stream Finance’s $93 million vanishing act and Polymarket’s UFC tie-up-anyone got a playbook for this madness? 🃏

And as for the DAO’s plans? Well, the announcement cryptically states that “matters will be communicated separately”-as if anyone is left listening. The curtain falls on one of the first dapp discovery stars, leaving behind a legacy of blockchain curiosity and a few bittersweet tears.
