There are dozens of blockchain networks and over 12,000 applications built on them. While this diversity may seem to be a significant advantage for retail users, in reality, it makes choosing a simple crypto app so challenging that it can even confuse the most seasoned experts.
Using Web3 services may also require valuable crypto tokens. This makes dApps an attractive target for hackers and other malicious actors, and leads to numerous user fund losses in the industry.
At the end of the day, when average users want to download their first crypto app — let's say, a wallet to transfer some USDT to a friend — they get overwhelmed by multiple unfamiliar options and feel insecure, especially when they remember the massive crypto exploit they read about on their Facebook feed just in morning.Now, you might be thinking something like: 'You can easily find any crypto wallet on Google and check the reviews before downloading the app!' And that's generally true. However, when you read reviews online, there's always up to a 40% chance of running into fake feedback.
In order to make browsing Web3 apps and services safe and friendly for users, and protect them from misleading information about decentralized technologies, we’ve designed and launched Certified.app. In this article, we will delve deeper into the idea behind our platform and the benefits it will bring to different groups of users.
Three key advantages of Certified.app
Let’s start with a general tour on the platform. There are nine main categories, including DeFi, Blockchains, DAO, or Games. These categories host various product pages. Crypto experts and savvy users can submit reviews for the listed dApps, and readers can rate these entries by up- and downvoting for them.
Although this logic may seem standard, there are three main advantages allowing Certified.app to provide the best experience and the most reliable data about blockchain apps and services for all users, from beginners to experts, such as:
-
Decentralized architecture,
-
Web3 authentication with Proof-of-Human validation,
-
Revenue sharing.
Thanks to the decentralized nature of Certified.app, any form of data manipulation is simply unfeasible on the platform: all the data, including reviews and user votes, is stored on decentralized services, while our open-source code can be easily verified by anyone at any given moment.
On top of this, in order to post reviews or cast votes for existing entries, users must log in to Certified.app with their crypto wallets and pass the Proof-of-Human validation. This procedure includes connecting an active Twitter account, submitting profile info, and checking activity on a user’s wallet. This simple yet efficient approach enables us to filter out bots and fake accounts and showcase the real opinion of the Web3 community.
In future, we also plan to develop the revenue-sharing feature and provide rewards in Certified native tokens for the contributors. This will incentivize Web3 experts and savvy users to add more original, up-to-date and useful content, while user votes for their reviews will exclude bonus hunters from the competition. As such, the contributors will rightfully receive recognition, and users will gain access to the most complete, relevant and trustworthy information about blockchain apps and services.
Which benefits will Certified.app offer for different groups of users
Certified.app is designed for three main groups of users, namely:
-
Retail users (both Web2 and Web3),
-
Crypto experts and savvy Web3 users,
-
Web3 teams behind decentralized apps and services.
By using the platform, these groups will access exquisite benefits listed below.
Retail users
Certified.app includes a structured catalog of dApps, enabling users to swiftly navigate the Web3 realm. This means that people won't need to spend much time searching for the right Web3 app for various purposes.
Furthermore, reviews from crypto experts and savvy Web3 users will empower our audience to make informed decisions about blockchain apps and services. Readers can see user ratings for reviews and easily assess their integrity, utility, and value. This feature is especially crucial for Web3 communities, where many dishonest influencers have been promoting numerous unreliable projects in exchange for rewards or even endorsing explicit scams.Finally, users will have the option to choose the most helpful opinion leaders on our platform and follow their recommendations in the future, whether on our platform or elsewhere. And, of course, everyone will be able to assist others by voting for the most helpful reviews.
Crypto experts and savvy Web3 users
If you've come a long way from a crypto newbie to an expert, you probably want to share your valuable experience with others. That is great, as you may save many people from the silliest mistakes everyone makes in the beginning.
Of course there are many platforms, such as X.com (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, to name a few, welcoming crypto content. But let's be honest; they already host a lot of Web3 content and thousands of crypto influencers. So, you will inevitably face fierce competition there.
Moreover, these platforms have been widely used by crypto scammers, ruining their reputation as reliable sources of information about Web3. While it’s easier than ever to delete any compromising material from many platforms, Certified.app doesn't have this option: any action on our platform, whether it is a review or a vote, can’t be modified as it is stored on-chain.
As mentioned before, Certified.app's reputation as a trustworthy source of information about Web3 is safeguarded by decentralized architecture, user verification, and voting. This means that your status as a Certified.app expert will prove your credibility to all the Web3 community members. And, of course, on top of building your personal brand among fellow Web3 enthusiasts, you'll also have the chance to earn rewards for your valuable contributions.
Web3 teams
Certified.app has a clear understanding of the target audience interested in blockchain technologies. This is essential for developing Web3 business. As such, by listing your dApp or blockchain service on our platform, you will have an exquisite opportunity to promote your project directly to real Web3 users. Furthermore, with the help of our platform, you will be able to reduce your customer acquisition costs and save your budget.
