What is a DApp?

DApps (Decentralized Applications) are digital applications that operate on blockchain networks, executing their core functionality through smart contracts rather than centralized servers, creating services that run exactly as programmed without downtime, censorship, or third-party interference.

Unlike traditional applications where backend code runs on centralized servers, DApps distribute their operations across a network of independent nodes, ensuring no single entity controls the application's functionality or user data, dramatically enhancing security and resilience.

Through blockchain integration, DApps provide unprecedented transparency where all transactions and operations can be verified on public ledgers, building trust through technology rather than through institutional reputation or regulatory oversight.

DApps are pioneering new business models where users can become stakeholders, directly influencing development through governance tokens and receiving rewards for contributions, creating more equitable digital ecosystems than traditional platforms.

From financial services and gaming to social media and supply chain management, DApps are reimagining virtually every category of software by removing intermediaries, reducing costs, and creating user-centric experiences that prioritize privacy, ownership, and fair value distribution.
