What are the most commonly used DApps?

Published on Nov 15, 2022Updated on Dec 5, 20247 min read

DApps, or decentralized apps built on blockchain technology, have evolved into various categories since 2020. Currently, the most popular categorization divides DAPPs into four major categories:

  • DeFi: the decentralization revolution in finance

    • DeFi can further be divided into subcategories, including DEX (decentralized exchange), Yield, Lending, Liquid staking, and Bridge for cross-chain functionality.

  • Inscription: innovation across blockchain limitations

    • Inscriptions permanently record information such as images and texts on the blockchain, similar to the inscriptions on ancient stone tablets, providing a new way to create native NFTs and token publishers.

  • NFT Market: a new era of digital item ownership

    • The NFT market provides a platform for buying and selling digital items such as artworks, Game Props, and collectibles, representing the ownership of specific digital items.

  • GameFi (Blockchain games): the gaming revolution on blockchain

    • Blockchain games (GameFi) allows users to enjoy diverse gaming experiences on the chain. The total transaction volume serves as an indicator of project strength, reflecting the total value of asset purchases and consumption by users in the game.

Despite the flourishing ecosystem of DApps, users still face inconvenient searches and frequent encounters with fraudulent links, which greatly increases the cost of searching and security identification. The Discover section on the OKX Web3 platform effectively addresses this issue. We have aggregated mainstream DeFi, blockchain games, and NFT projects from various blockchains, including many niche and cutting-edge projects. Users can directly browse or search to participate, which is not only convenient and fast, but also avoids the risk of entering phishing links through ordinary searches.

What's DeFi?

DeFi projects redefine the concept of traditional finance by providing services such as asset trading, lending, storage interest, and encrypted asset insurance. Total locked-up volume (TVL) is a key indicator of the strength of DeFi projects, representing the total asset value deposited by users into the project.
