If your application uses ERC-4337 account abstraction, you will need to complete additional configuration steps to ensure DappRadar properly tracks your user activity and transaction data. See the Account Abstraction Integration section below for more details.

Account Abstraction Integration (ERC-4337 dApps Only)

This section is specifically for developers using ERC-4337 account abstraction in their dApps. If your application uses traditional Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) for user wallets, you can skip this entire section and proceed directly to the Analytics section below.

If your dApp leverages ERC-4337 smart contract wallets to provide enhanced user experiences like gasless transactions, social recovery, or custom authentication methods, you’ll need to complete additional configuration steps to ensure DappRadar properly tracks your user activity and transaction data.

Prerequisites for ERC-4337 Integration

Before beginning the integration process, ensure you have:

Deployed or identified the EntryPoint contract on your target blockchain
Implemented Smart Contract Wallet following ERC-4337 specification
Access to your smart contract wallet factory addresses
Understanding of your bundler and paymaster configurations (if applicable)

Integration Process with DappRadar

Step 1: Configuration Setup Access the GitHub repository at https://github.com/dappradar/erc4337-configurations

Step 2: Submit Configuration Your ERC-4337 configuration must include the following components:

EntryPoint Configuration
- Contract address and ABI
- Supported chain identifiers
- Network-specific parameters
Smart Contract Wallet Specifications
- Wallet factory addresses
- Implementation contract details
- Validation function signatures
Bundler Integration
- Supported bundler endpoints
- Fee calculation methods
- Transaction ordering preferences

Step 3: Testing and Validation

Verify UserOperation handling
Test transaction bundling and execution
Validate gas abstraction functionality
Ensure proper data attribution in DappRadar

Example Configuration: You can find an example of existing ERC-4337 configuration for Sei: https://github.com/dappradar/erc4337-configurations/blob/main/chain-config/sei/erc4337.json

Analytics

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

1. Unique Active Wallets (UAW)

Metric for user engagement
Counts distinct wallet addresses interacting with smart contracts
Available in daily, weekly, and monthly aggregations
Trend analysis and growth tracking

2. Transaction Metrics

Total transaction count per period
Transaction volume in native tokens and USD
Average transaction value
Transaction frequency patterns

3. Smart Contract Interactions

Function call distribution
Contract usage patterns
Gas consumption analysis
Error rate monitoring

4. Financial Metrics

Total Value Locked (TVL) for DeFi protocols
Revenue generation (if applicable)
Token price correlation
Market capitalization impact

Data Accuracy Considerations

Factors Affecting Data Accuracy:

On-Chain vs Off-Chain Activity In the trading card game Splinterlands, you make a blockchain transaction when you claim rewards, battle an opponent, open a card pack, stake your tokens, and so on. In this game, almost every action gets tracked by the blockchain. In contrast, Axie Infinity has gameplay that takes place on centralized servers. The only on-chain actions for Axie Infinity include claiming rewards, breeding Axies and trading NFTs.
Contract Coverage Ensure all relevant smart contracts are included in tracking for complete data accuracy

Best Practices for Data Accuracy:

Provide comprehensive list of all contract addresses
Include proxy contracts and implementation addresses
Update contract lists when deploying new versions
Monitor data discrepancies and report issues

Best Practices

Visual Assets:

Use high-quality, professional logo design
Provide clear, representative screenshots
Create engaging demo videos
Maintain consistent branding across all materials

Description Best Practices:

Write clear, concise descriptions
Highlight unique value propositions
Include technical specifications
Use relevant keywords for discoverability
Your dapp listing serves as your project showcase. Spending time crafting compelling descriptions and adding video and attractive images will help your project stand out

Content Guidelines:

Video is effective for conveying complex information quickly and can help address onboarding or UX issues
Keep videos short and focused
Demonstrate core functionality
Show real user interactions
Explain complex features clearly
