DappRadar Shuts Down After 7 Years as DeepSnitch AI Presale Hits $544K; Aave Launches Retail Savings App

DappRadar, a leading decentralized application data platform, announced its imminent shutdown on November 17, 2025, citing unsustainable operational costs in the current market. Founders Dragos Dunica and Skirmantas Januškas revealed via an X post that the platform, launched in 2018, will cease tracking DApps and blockchains shortly. The future of the RADAR token and associated DAO will be addressed separately.

Meanwhile, DeepSnitch AI secured over $544,000 in its second presale stage, with tokens priced at $0.02334. The project aims to deploy a suite of five AI agents for crypto trading analytics, including sentiment analysis, whale wallet tracking, and rug pull risk detection. Early investors can access initial agents soon, with the full suite expected in January 2026.

In parallel, DeFi protocol Aave launched a retail-focused savings app on November 17, offering 5% to 9% APY on deposits—significantly higher than traditional banks' 0.4% to 4%. The app supports real-time interest tracking, $1 million in balance protection, and accepts deposits via banks, stablecoins, and debit cards, featuring instant withdrawals and recurring deposit options.

The announcements unfolded amid a volatile market, with Bitcoin dipping toward $91,000 and privacy tokens like Monero gaining 2%. AI tokens such as ICP and FET also posted solid performances, fueling interest in altcoins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Cardano (ADA), though these faced technical resistance levels.
