Decentralized Apps (dApps) are applications that utilize the principles of decentralized technology, often built on blockchain networks. Unlike traditional applications that rely on centralized servers and databases, dApps operate on a decentralized network, where data is stored across multiple nodes. This decentralization enhances security, as there is no single point of failure, and promotes transparency and censorship resistance. dApps can vary widely, serving functions in finance (DeFi), gaming, social media, supply chain, and many other industries.
