Frequently asked questions
How DSE search works
DSE searches words and phrases in accessible Web3 pages. Its own index grows automatically and does not cover the whole Web3. ENS and Freename resolution and public discovery sources help find websites. Pages must be accessible and contain readable text. Sponsored listings are separate from search ranking.
Sites in the spotlight
Visibility starts after payment verification, expires automatically and does not renew. Three cards rotate every 10 seconds.
Connect wallet
Connecting shares your wallet address. Payment requires a separate confirmation. Never enter a recovery phrase here.
Private search
Search requires no account and creates no identity profile or search-history log. We use no advertising trackers. Hosting providers process technical request data. Optional AI processes your question or uploaded image; purchases store the wallet address, receipt and content you submit.
How do I search for an exact phrase?
Search words or an exact phrase in quotes.
Where do suggested keywords come from?
Suggestions use words found in indexed pages, not people’s search history.
What is a Web3 domain?
A Web3 domain is a name associated with blockchain records. It can link to wallet addresses or decentralized content. Supported resolvers and gateways vary by protocol.
How can I open a website stored on IPFS?
Use a supported IPFS gateway or a compatible browser with the correct content identifier (CID). Availability depends on the gateway and content hosting.
Do I need a wallet to search?
No. Searching public content requires no wallet. A wallet is used only for voluntary website submission or sponsored placement payments.
Does this search cover every Web3 website?
No. The index grows automatically from accessible content and submitted websites. A registered domain without readable website content may not appear.
