The Web3 landscape is rapidly evolving, and artificial intelligence (AI) decentralized apps (DApps) are emerging as a powerful force poised to reshape the ecosystem. According to DappRadar’s April industry report, AI DApps are quickly gaining ground, with user activity surging and the sector now challenging the dominance of traditional DeFi and gaming applications.
AI DApps: Rising User Activity and Market Share
In April 2025, AI-powered DApps accounted for 16% of the DApp market by unique active wallets, up from 11% in February. This growth is remarkable, especially as DeFi and gaming, historically the leading DApp categories, each hold a 21% market share but have seen declines in user activity. AI Decentralized Apps reached 3.8 million daily unique active wallets in April, a 26% increase from February, while DeFi and gaming dropped to 4.8 million dUAW after experiencing double-digit declines.
Sara Gherghelas, a DappRadar analyst, notes,
“If this trend continues, AI could soon challenge the traditional dominance of DeFi and Gaming, signalling a new era in the DApp landscape.”
Top AI DApps: Utility and Innovation Lead the Way
The leading AI DApps are not just riding the hype-they’re building real utility. The top performer, LOL, is an AI-powered mining system that rewards users with tokens based on the pitch and frequency of their laughter, submitted via voice recordings to Telegram groups. Other standouts include Dmail Network, an AI-powered decentralized messaging service, and World. Fun is a platform for deploying AI agents into multi-agent simulations.
These projects are solidifying their positions as early leaders, and their staying power suggests AI’s influence in Web3 will only grow.
Social DApps and Web3 Resilience
Social DApps have also seen a notable rise, with an 18% increase in activity and a market share now exceeding 15%. Despite global market turbulence and regulatory uncertainty, Web3 overall remains robust, with 23 million daily active wallets in April slightly down from February’s 24 million.
Gherghelas points out that.
“Utility and narrative-driven hype, especially around meme coins and AI, are major drivers of user engagement.”
