We’re excited to welcome DappRadar, the world’s leading platform for dapp discovery and analytics, as a Block Producer (BP) on XPR Network.

This marks a major step forward in our mission to grow a transparent, high-performance Web3 ecosystem - and a strong signal that XPR Network is becoming a chain of choice for builders, users, and data leaders alike.

What Is a Block Producer?

XPR Network operates on a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus model. Block Producers are responsible for validating transactions, creating new blocks, and maintaining the performance and decentralization of the network.

But more than just infrastructure, great BPs help move ecosystems forward - by bringing users, improving access to information, and supporting the long-term health of the chain.

When users stake $XPR token on the XPR Network, they are required to vote for 4 Block Producers (BPs). This voting mechanism ensures that the network governance remains decentralized and community-driven, giving XPR token holders a direct say in who helps secure and maintain the blockchain.

Why DappRadar Is Joining

Skirmantas Januskas, CEO of DappRadar, shared:

"Being at the forefront of dapp discovery for over seven years, we've seen firsthand how gas fees and complexity limit user adoption across the Web3 ecosystem. XPR Network's feeless model and integrated identity solutions address these fundamental challenges. We're excited to contribute our infrastructure support to help XPR Network achieve its vision of accessible, transparent Web3 infrastructure."

XPR Network offers a unique combination of features that attracted DappRadar to become a BP:

• No gas fees: A completely feeless transaction model that removes barriers for users and developers.
  
  

• Integrated digital identity: Enabling privacy-conscious, compliance-ready interactions.
  
  

• Robust DeFi ecosystem: Anchored by Metal X, a fully onchain orderbook DEX, and LOAN Protocol, our native lending and borrowing layer.
  
  

• Backed by Metallicus: XPR Network is part of The Digital Banking Network, and home to the first stablecoin pilot from Metallicus.
  
  

By joining as a Block Producer, DappRadar moves from indexing Web3 to actively helping shape the next era of it.

How to Vote for DappRadar when Staking

When you stake your XPR via the WebAuth Wallet or the XPR Network Block Explorer you are required to vote for 4 Block Producers (BPs) as part of the staking process. Simply select DappRadar alongside three other Block Producers when you stake your XPR.

This helps support the decentralization and governance of the network - but rest assured, your choice of BPs does not affect the amount of staking rewards you receive. Rewards are distributed proportionally based on your staked amount, regardless of which BPs you vote for.

As we continue expanding with trusted, aligned partners, DappRadar’s participation reinforces what we believe: blockchains should be usable, affordable, and open to all.

Welcome to the network, DappRadar.
