DappRadar is excited to welcome back Waves at the World’s Dapp Store, allowing users to explore projects built on the network. Waves is a fast, low cast and eco-friendly L1 network, made for open finance, personal identification, gaming and much more.
DappRadar already tracks more than 16,500 dapps across over 75 different blockchains, and we are delighted to welcome Waves back into the World’s Dapp Store. Waves has been around since 2016 and is therefore one of the oldest projects building in Web3.
Waves offers an entirely open-source platform for decentralized applications, hosting DeFi services, video games and NFT collections. Thanks to its proof-of-stake consensus, the network is fast, cheap and comes with a minimal carbon footprint.
DappRadar invites the development community to list their projects through our developer dashboard. Those who want to explore dapps already live on Waves can do so through the official Waves chain page.
Dapps to find on Waves
The Waves ecosystem is home to a wide variety of dapps, while some of the most popular ones are native to the ecosystem. For example, WX Network offers liquidity pools and staking pools, while Swop.fi allows users to exchange cryptocurrencies. On the other end of the DeFi spectrum we find Vires, a lending protocol.
Those who are looking into NFTs, should familiarize themselves with Waves Ducks, because this NFT collection is key in a sprawling network of games. Moreover, if you’re looking to buy NFTs, you may find success on SignArt, the leading marketplace on Waves.
Getting started with Waves
To interact with decentralized applications on Waves, users will have to create a wallet tailored for this ecosystem. You can use Keeper Wallet or third-party wallet WX Network, as both wallets work on browser, desktop and mobile devices.
