The Highest User-Rated BNB Chain dApps in 2023

User reviews and ratings are one of the best ways of identifying useful dApps and avoiding potentially risky ones from other dApp users. A Web3 user can gain extensive insight into a dApp without having to try the dApp, connect their wallet, or make a transaction through ratings and reviews. Moreover, user reviews can also help new users navigate the world of DeFi, GameFi, social dApps, and more as they select from thousands of decentralized applications.

Ratings and reviews on their own may not be a reliable indicator of a dApp or Web3 project. However, ratings and reviews taken in conjunction with other indicators such as smart contracts, audits, security threats, metrics, innovation, etc. can help a Web3 user form a better picture of the use and performance of decentralized applications.

Methodology

The list of the highest user-rated dApps was taken from the ratings and reviews of dApps on DappBay on 5th July 2023. Users are required to use their Web3 wallet to sign in and review a dApp on DappBay. A dApps rating (out of 5 stars) may change in time with an increase in reviews and ratings.

DappBay has listed over 1591 BNB Chain dApps.
All risky dApps in the Red Alarm list (740) were eliminated from this list of highest user-rated dApps on BNB Chain.
dApps with only a few reviews can severely skew the score or rating of the dApp (either positively or negatively). Hence, dApps with at least 25 user reviews were then selected to compile the list of the highest user-rated dApps.
The dApps are then categorised according to 12 gaming dApps, 7 DeFi dApps, 4 social dApps, 2 marketplace dApps, and 2 tooling dApps and listed in descending order (highest ratings first).

Note: A good or high rating may not always be indicative of the actual utility or incentive derived from such a dApp. For example, dApps may be inclined to host review/rating contests to get more positive reviews in their favor. On the other hand, a trusted but newly listed dApp (such as Arkham, Uniswap or OpenSea) may not have enough reviews to be included in this list.
