About dAppCDN

Simple. Safe. Super fast.

We don’t track you. We never bundle adware or malware. We don’t blast you with ads. One small ad or none at all—your choice. We survive through community support and minimal, respectful advertising.

dAppCDN is a next-generation content delivery network designed to deliver apps at lightning speed—without compromising your privacy. Built with multiple global CDN providers and our custom replication system, dAppCDN is built for high availability, zero BS, and peace of mind for every download.

What does dApp mean?

dApp stands for direct app: the official file, exactly as its developer released it. Every file is checked by several antivirus engines and then served untouched: no installer of our own, no bundled offers, no repackaging. What you download is what the developer published.

For institutions

Universities, companies, and IT departments can get the latest versions, checksums, and direct downloads of these files through an API key of their own. See dAppCDN for Institutions.
