Other Social is a catch-all category for dApps built around community, reputation or public discussion that do not fit neatly into a social network, messaging or creator-platform label. These apps use a blockchain for part of what a normal social site would handle on its own servers, such as recording ratings, moving payments or tracking ownership.
Most of these dApps work through smart contracts and a connected crypto wallet. Users post, rate or interact, and small payments or token actions are recorded on-chain. Revenue typically comes from transaction fees, token mechanics or a share of the payments made inside the app. Ideamarket, the only entry in this category on our site so far, runs on Arbitrum. Users post ideas and pay ETH to rate them, with the aim of building credibility without relying on media institutions.
When comparing social dApps, look at which chain the app runs on and what fees you will pay, how much value is locked in it (Ideamarket shows about $143,000 in TVL at the time of writing), and whether the contracts have been audited. Also consider how active the community is, how the app handles spam or manipulation, and whether the payments you make have a clear purpose. As more projects are added to this category, we will include them in the ranking for side-by-side comparison. Nothing here is financial advice, and you should only use funds you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Other Social category?
It is a catch-all group for social dApps that do not fit a specific label such as social networks, creator platforms or messaging. These apps usually mix blockchain features like tokens, staking or on-chain identity with some kind of community or reputation system. Right now our list contains one entry, Ideamarket.
What is Ideamarket?
Ideamarket is an Arbitrum-based platform where users post ideas and pay ETH to rate them. The goal is to build credibility signals without relying on media institutions. At the time of writing, our data shows about $143,000 in total value locked and a score of 5.8 on our site.
How do social dApps differ from regular social media apps?
Social dApps run their logic through smart contracts on a blockchain instead of a single company's servers. Posts, ratings, follows or payments can be recorded on-chain, and users connect with a crypto wallet instead of an email login. Some data may still be stored off-chain for cost and speed reasons.
How do social dApps make money?
Most earn through small fees on transactions, token mechanics, or a cut of payments made inside the app. In rating-style platforms, the money users spend or stake to take part can fund the protocol or reward early participants. Check each app's documentation to see exactly where fees go.
Are social dApps risky to use?
Yes, there are several. Smart contract bugs, thin liquidity, price swings in any related token, and weak moderation can all cause losses or bad experiences. Only use funds you can afford to lose, check whether contracts have been audited, and keep in mind that a low TVL can mean limited adoption.
Which blockchain does Ideamarket use and what do I need to try it?
Ideamarket runs on Arbitrum, an Ethereum layer-2 network, so you generally need a compatible wallet and some ETH on that network to pay fees and ratings. Bridging funds from another network is a common extra step. Fees and steps can change, so read the app's current instructions first.
