How to Discover Dapps on Gravity Safely

Start with Gravity’s own ecosystem directory or announcements, then treat each listing as a lead rather than an endorsement. A dapp may be listed even if its contracts, features or support have changed. Before using it, confirm that the app itself says it supports Gravity and that the action you want is available on that network.

Gravity is an EVM-compatible blockchain, so apps built for Ethereum-style networks may be able to support it. Compatibility alone is not proof that an app is deployed there. Check its network selector and documentation for the exact Gravity deployment, not just a general claim of multichain support.

Use this quick screening order:

1. Find the app through a project-controlled channel.
2. Confirm Gravity is explicitly supported for your intended feature.
3. Check the relevant contract addresses against the app’s own documentation.
4. Review fees, permissions and withdrawal or exit steps before funding it.

If you cannot confirm the network or contract, stop. Don’t connect a wallet simply because a search listing or social post says an app is available on Gravity.

After finding an app, verify that it is actually using Gravity. Open the app’s network selector and confirm the selected chain is Gravity before you interact. If the app requires you to add the network to your wallet, obtain the network configuration from a project-controlled source and check it carefully. Avoid copying RPC settings or chain details from unsolicited messages.

For a contract-based app, compare the address displayed in the app with the address in its official documentation or announcements. A token ticker or logo is not enough: unrelated tokens can use the same name and symbol. A block explorer can help you inspect whether an address has activity, but activity alone does not establish that the contract is legitimate or safe.

Before signing, check the transaction preview in your wallet. Confirm the network, destination, token and amount. If the preview is unclear or does not match the action you intended, reject it and investigate. Don’t rely on a site’s appearance as proof: copied interfaces can be made to look convincing, while a correct-looking transaction can still grant risky permissions.

Expect to pay network fees for actions such as swaps, deposits or contract interactions. Gravity uses G as its native token for gas, but the fee depends on network conditions and the complexity of the transaction. Check the estimate in your wallet each time; a fee shown for one action is not a promise about the next one.

A dapp may also charge its own fee. For a swap, look for the quoted output, any displayed platform or pool fee, and the effect of price impact. For lending or staking, check whether rates can change, whether withdrawals can be delayed or restricted, and what happens if the app or market becomes unavailable. A low network fee does not make a financial product low-risk.

Before funding a new app, make a short cost check:

• Do you have enough G for the transaction and a later exit?
• Does the dapp show a separate fee or minimum deposit?
• Can you see the amount you will receive or the position you will create?
• Do you understand the exit path and any waiting period?

If costs or exit terms are unclear, don’t deposit until you can verify them.

A wallet connection is not the same as a transaction approval, but it still deserves care. Connect only to the app’s verified domain, use a wallet you control, and avoid entering a recovery phrase into a website. A legitimate dapp should not need your seed phrase or private key to connect.

Read the wallet prompt before signing. Some signatures simply prove that you control an address; others can authorize token spending or trigger an on-chain action. Check the token, spender, allowance and network where those details are shown. Give only the permissions needed for the task, and review or revoke old approvals using a trusted wallet feature or contract-permission tool when appropriate.

For a first interaction, consider using a separate wallet with only the funds you intend to use. Start with a small transaction where practical, then confirm that it completed as expected before committing more. This reduces the amount exposed if you selected a fake app or misunderstood a prompt, but it cannot eliminate smart-contract, market or bridge risks. Keep a separate reserve of G for future transactions rather than spending every last unit on the first action.

A listing page, active community or polished interface cannot guarantee safety. Dapps can have bugs, compromised websites, malicious contract changes or economic designs that fail under stress. If an app involves lending, staking, trading or a bridge, you can lose funds even when you follow the displayed steps correctly.

Look for concrete details before taking a financial risk: the contracts used on Gravity, how the app is governed, whether security reviews are published, who can upgrade or pause contracts, and how users withdraw. An audit, if one is published, is not a guarantee; check which contracts and versions it covers. If the project does not explain a key risk or withdrawal condition, treat that uncertainty as a reason to avoid depositing.

Be especially cautious of claims of guaranteed returns, urgent giveaways, support agents who message you first, or requests to sign a transaction you cannot explain. Never send funds to a wallet address just to “verify” your account or unlock a reward. Use the app only if you can describe what your transaction does and what could cause you to lose access to your assets.

Moving assets from another chain may require a bridge, but don’t bridge just to explore. First check whether the app supports assets already available on Gravity and whether you have enough G for fees after arriving. If you do need a bridge, verify the exact token and route, compare the quoted amount with the amount you expect, and check the destination network before confirming.

Bridge transactions can involve more than one contract or step. Fees, exchange rates, liquidity and completion times can change, and some routes have specific refund or recovery conditions. A wrapped or bridged token may not be interchangeable with the native version of an asset in every app. Confirm that the destination dapp accepts the exact token you will receive.

Keep a record of the source transaction and any bridge status details. Do not repeat a transfer because a page appears stuck until you have checked whether the original transaction completed. If a bridge asks you to connect to an unexpected network, approve an unfamiliar token or send funds to a personal address, stop and verify the route through the bridge’s official channels.

The most common discovery mistakes are easy to avoid if you slow down at the right moments. Search results and social posts can point you toward an app, but they are not substitutes for checking its official domain, network support and contract details. A familiar name can also be copied by an unrelated project.

Before every first use, run through this checklist:

• Confirm the site’s domain through a project-controlled channel.
• Verify Gravity support for the specific feature you plan to use.
• Match token and contract addresses; don’t rely on names or logos.
• Read the wallet transaction and permission prompts before signing.
• Check fees, withdrawal conditions and any bridge route.
• Keep enough G for later transactions, including an exit.

Avoid clicking links in unsolicited direct messages, sharing your recovery phrase, or signing a transaction because a countdown timer pressures you. Don’t assume that an app is safe because it appears in a directory or because other wallets have used it. If any step is inconsistent or you can’t explain what you are authorizing, cancel and verify before continuing.
