The New and Improved dApp Browser in Nova Wallet
Decentralized applications (dApps) are one of the cornerstones of web3, and can provide users with access to decentralized alternatives to traditional online services — for finance, governance, gaming, and more.
For dApps to be truly accessible, users need a seamless way to both discover and interact with them. That’s where Nova Wallet’s dApp browser comes in. Nova’s built-in dApp browser acts as a discoverability layer and gateway for dApps, allowing users to discover, connect, and interact with dApps in the Polkadot ecosystem and beyond.
The Polkadot ecosystem is rather unique, dApps exist on numerous app chains/rollups, and are not all hosted on a single monolithic chain, which can make it challenging for new users to find the best dApp for their needs. That’s why we’ve upgraded Nova Wallet’s built-in dApp browser — making it easier to discover the ecosystems top dApps and making it more user-friendly to interact with dApps and Nova Wallet! Whether you want to liquid stake, swap tokens on a DEX, or play the latest web3 game — our latest update ensures a smooth experience from start to finish!
Why a Built-in dApp Browser Matters
Using dApps needs to be as easy as using web2 applications, but too often slow and clunky interfaces get in the way. Nova Wallet’s dApp browser eliminates these issues by allowing you to easily discover and connect to dApps directly from your wallet.
Our goal with this update? To make sure that Nova Wallet isn’t just the best Polkadot wallet for managing assets, staking, and swapping, but also the go-to choice for interacting with dApps in a seamless and secure way.

Your progress in the dApp browser is saved until you close Nova Wallet, but you can always get back to your tabs immediately, even after closing Nova Wallet.
Refreshed dApp Catalog!
Nova Wallet’s dApp catalog is the premiere place in the Polkadot ecosystem for users to discover the best dApps — and we refreshed the dApp catalog to make it even better!
