Juno is a proof-of-stake blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK and designed as a home for CosmWasm smart contracts. It is not EVM-based: contracts are typically written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly instead of Solidity. As a Cosmos chain it uses IBC, the protocol for passing tokens and messages between connected chains, and validators secure the network by staking the native token.
JUNO is the native token. It pays transaction fees, is staked with validators to help secure the chain, and gives holders a vote in governance. Fees on Cosmos chains are generally small, but the exact amounts depend on network settings, so check them in your wallet before sending a transaction.
Activity on Juno today is modest. DeFi TVL is about $42,567 at the time of writing, and our list covers 6 dApps. The standout projects are liquid staking protocols: Stride, a Cosmos-focused service that issues tradable receipt tokens for staked assets, and Eris Protocol, which offers liquid staking and arbitrage across a dozen Cosmos-ecosystem chains, Juno among them. Both operate on several chains, so Juno is one of many places you can find them.

Guides for Juno and other chains
Blockchain
Blockchain Examples and How They WorkLearn how blockchains record and verify transactions, how consensus keeps a shared ledger in sync, and how Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks put the technology to work. See practical examples, key trade-offs and ways to assess whether a blockchain is a good fit.
Blockchain
Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.

Casper Network and CSPR: A Practical Guide for 2026Casper Network is a proof-of-stake blockchain, and CSPR is its native token. This guide explains the network’s purpose, how CSPR is used, and what to check before staking or transacting.

Cosmos Network Guide: Chains, IBC and ATOM in 2026Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains, not one chain that processes every app and token. Learn how the Cosmos Hub, Cosmos SDK and IBC fit together, what ATOM does, and how to assess transfers, staking and risks in 2026.
Blockchain
How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.

How to Mine Cryptocurrency on Android in 2026Android phones can run mining software, but their limited processing power, battery drain and heat make profitable mining unlikely. Learn how to assess the risks, try a small proof-of-work experiment safely, and spot apps that only simulate mining or sell cloud contracts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Juno?
Juno is a proof-of-stake blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. It was designed as a neutral place to run CosmWasm smart contracts and is part of the wider Cosmos network of connected chains.
Is Juno EVM compatible?
Juno is not an EVM chain. Its smart contracts are written for CosmWasm, usually in Rust, rather than in Solidity. Developers and users who are used to Ethereum tooling will find a different workflow here.
What is the JUNO token used for?
JUNO is the native token. It is used to pay transaction fees and to stake with validators, and holders can take part in on-chain governance. Check current staking terms and fee levels in a wallet or block explorer before you transact.
How many dApps are on Juno?
Our list has 6 dApps on Juno at the moment, and the DeFi TVL on the chain is about $42,567 at the time of writing. That is small, so the chain is quiet compared with larger Cosmos networks. Figures change daily.
Which dApps are the most notable on Juno?
Stride and Eris Protocol are the two best-scoring projects on our list for this chain. Both are liquid staking protocols. They let holders keep a tradable token while their original assets stay staked. Each also runs on several other Cosmos chains.
How do I use Juno with other Cosmos chains?
Juno is a Cosmos chain that speaks IBC, so tokens can move to and from other chains in the ecosystem. You need a Cosmos-compatible wallet, and you should confirm the right channel and destination address before sending. A small test transfer is a sensible first step.
Is it risky to use dApps on Juno?
Any smart contract carries risk, including bugs, low liquidity and validator or governance problems. Community discussion has pointed to slowing activity on Juno, and TVL is low, so check each project's audits, documentation and recent updates. Only commit funds you can afford to lose.
What is the largest dApp on Juno by TVL?
Stride is the largest dApp on Juno by total value locked, with $3.69M across all the chains it supports. It is followed by Eris Protocol ($1.69M) and Eris Protocol ($1.69M). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Juno has the highest DappsAtlas score?
Stride has the highest score at 6.2/10, ahead of Eris Protocol (5.5) and White Whale Dex (5.5). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
How many dApps are on Juno?
DappsAtlas tracks 6 dApps on Juno. Of these, 6 have a full review and 6 report value locked, $7.50M in total, counting value on every chain they support.
What are the most common types of dApps on Juno?
Staking (3), DEXes (2) and Staking Pool (1) are the largest categories on Juno, by number of projects.
Which dApps on Juno grew the most this week?
Among dApps with at least $1M locked, Stride the biggest drop (−11.1%). Combined TVL moved −8.8% over the same seven days.
What is the average score for dApps on Juno?
The 3 rated dApps on Juno average 5.7 out of 10. Of these, 0 score 8 or higher and 0 score below 5.
