What this is
Web3 apps connect a browser tool directly to blockchain functionality — wallet interaction, token balances, on-chain actions — rather than just working with a website's own content. These use app_kind='blockchain' for pure Web3 tools, or app_kind='userscript_bc' when a tool combines regular userscript behavior with blockchain awareness.
How it works
The distinction between the two app_kind values matters for how the app gets categorized and surfaced in the catalog — a pure blockchain tool versus a hybrid userscript that happens to check a wallet balance are different enough use cases that BotGentz tracks them separately, even though both ultimately talk to the same underlying blockchain infrastructure.
Holding BOT for this path
Web3 apps have a uniquely direct relationship to BOT: many of these tools will interact with BOT itself (checking balances, verifying holdings for gated features), which makes holding BOT as a developer both a platform-access requirement and, often, something your own app's users will also be checking for.
