Explore is a community-curated & governed Web3 discovery platform. As the name suggests, it is where your Web3 exploration starts. It is curated & governed by the community of Hunters (Proposers) & Voters through governance.
Hunters find out new projects & do research to propose them on the Curation dashboard; then voters validate the information provided & vote on the proposals. Hunters & Voters need to hold tokens ($DAI, $UNI, $NFTX, $SAND, $ENS & $DG) to be able to participate in the governance. Basis votes top 5 voted projects are listed on the platform every week. Governance makes the platform hard to manipulate and builds trust in the community & new users.

Anyone from the community can hunt a Dapp by submitting a proposal here. The details submitted here will be uploaded to IPFS. Then, at the end of every week, the hunted Dapps will move on to the voting stage.
↓ Voting
The community can vote on the Dapps hunted in the previous week to get them listed on the platform. User signs a message verifying the data submitted in the proposal. This signature is also uploaded to the IPFS.
↓ Listing
Once the voting stage is closed, the top 5 voted Dapps get listed on the platform. (thedapplist.com). The community can now discover dapps, learn and engage with them.
