# Dapp Name Registry

The **Dapp Name Registry** is a decentralized registry of dApps implemented on EVM Compatible networks using smart contracts, where developers can register their dApps, making them easily discoverable in the ecosystem. 

Key features include:

* **Open and Decentralized:** The registry operates on Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure, ensuring no central authority controls the listing process. 
* **Universal Accessibility:** Other dApp browsers, stores, and services can integrate the registry, creating a unified, global standard for dApp discovery and access.  
* **Smart Contract-Based:** The entire registry is managed via smart contracts to ensure transparency, security, and tamper-proof listings.
