“Apps with no bosses, no downtime, and full transparency.”
In Web3, apps don't live on a single server or get controlled by one company.
Welcome to the world of DApps — decentralized applications.
🧾 What is a DApp?
A DApp (short for Decentralized Application) is a digital application that runs on a blockchain or peer-to-peer (P2P) network, rather than on centralized servers.
That means:
🌐 No single authority controls it
📜 Data is stored on a public ledger (blockchain)
🔐 Code is usually open-source and transparent
💡 Key Features of DApps
🏗️ Built on smart contracts (like on Ethereum)
👥 Users interact directly with the blockchain
🚫 No centralized control or shutdown point
💰 Often use tokens as part of their function (e.g., gas fees, voting)
🚀 Examples of Popular DApps
🏦 DeFi: Uniswap, Aave
🎮 Gaming: Axie Infinity, Decentraland
🎨 NFTs: OpenSea
🌐 Social & Storage: Lens Protocol, Arweave
