Decoding Dapps šŸ§

Are Dapps a different version of rap šŸ§

The word Dapp seems like a version of rap but it's surprisingly not. So let us find out what does this term "Dapp" mean. Let's Decode Dapps!

What are Dapps?

A standard web app, such as Uber or Twitter, runs on a computer system that is owned and operated by an organisation, giving it full authority over the app and its workings. There may be multiple users on one side, but the backend is controlled by a single organisation.

whereas, Decentralized applications (dApps) are digital applications or programs that exist and run on a blockchain or peer-to-peer (P2P) network of computers instead of a single computer. DApps (also called "dapps") are outside the purview and control of a single authority.

Advantages of Dapps ->

  • Because dApps are decentralized, they are free from the control and interference of a single authority.

  • Benefits of dApps include the safeguarding of user privacy, the lack of censorship, and the flexibility of development.

Drawbacks/Challenges of Dapps ->

Drawbacks include the potential inability to scale, challenges in developing a user interface, and difficulties in making code modifications.
