DappRadar, a prominent analytics platform for decentralized applications (DApps), announced on Monday that it is winding down operations after seven years of service. Founders Skirmantas Januškas and Dragos Dunica disclosed the decision via an X post, citing financial unsustainability in the current environment as the primary reason.
The platform will stop tracking blockchains and DApps in the coming days, with separate communications promised regarding the handling of its native RADAR token and decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Immediately following the announcement, the RADAR token price plummeted approximately 30%, falling to around $0.00072, according to data from Nansen.
This shutdown leaves a significant gap in the crypto analytics landscape, impacting users who relied on DappRadar for real-time DApp data and rankings. The company acknowledged the challenges of monetizing data services effectively, highlighting broader issues facing crypto data providers. As a developing story, further details on the token's future and historical data accessibility are awaited.
