Decentralized Application (dApp)

Summary

A decentralized application (dApp) is a software application that runs on a distributed network, utilizing smart contracts and blockchain technology to operate without a central authority.

Detailed Description

dApps are designed to provide a seamless and open user experience by operating on peer-to-peer networks while ensuring data integrity, transparency, and security. The backend code of a dApp runs on a decentralized network rather than being hosted on a centralized server. Users interact with dApps using a specific cryptocurrency or token that is integrated into the application, incentivizing participation and creating a robust ecosystem.
