Decentralized applications (dApps)

Decentralized applications, or dApps, are software applications that run on a network rather than a single server or computer. They use blockchain technology, ensuring data is distributed across many nodes, making them more secure and resistant to failures or hacks. dApps operate without a central authority, promoting transparency and user control. Users interact with them directly, often using cryptocurrencies or tokens. Common examples include decentralized finance platforms, games, and social networks, all designed to empower users while reducing reliance on traditional intermediaries.
