A dApp (short for decentralized application) is an app that runs on blockchain technology, like Ethereum, instead of a centralized system. Think of it like this: just as developers create apps for Apple’s iOS App Store, they can also build applications on top of Ethereum’s decentralized network.
To the average user, a dApp may seem no different from any regular app. But under the hood, it’s powered by blockchain—making it more transparent, secure, and free from corporate control. This fundamental shift doesn’t just make dApps different… it could make them far better.
