#BTCHashratePeak In decentralized applications (DApps), you're the boss—but you're also the last line of defense.
From DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces to blockchain games, DApps let you lend, trade, and play with cryptocurrencies without a middleman.
But with no centralized technical support and smart contracts running everything, there's no "undo" button after a transaction is approved or a message is signed.
In this guide, we'll help you navigate DApps safely and confidently—from identifying dangerous permissions to managing approvals—so you can explore Web3 without worry (or losing your money).
What are DApps?
A decentralized application (DApp) is an application that runs on a blockchain network like Ethereum or BNB Chain rather than relying on centralized servers. Think of it as an application with a public, transparent, and immutable backend powered by smart contracts.
In Binance Wallet, you can connect to DApps via QR code, browse/search on the [Discover] page, or tap on verified DApps within the wallet.
DApp Risks
The openness of the Web3 world means anyone can deploy a smart contract or create a DApp interface. Scammers have exploited this freedom and the lack of centralized support to create "fake" DApps that skillfully imitate legitimacy, tricking users into signing dangerous messages or approving malicious transactions, putting their assets at risk.
