dApps Overview
dApps (Decentralized Applications) are applications that run on a blockchain or decentralized network instead of a centralized server. Unlike traditional apps, dApps operate without a single controlling entity, offering greater transparency, security, and resistance to censorship.
Key Features of DApps:
Decentralized: Operate on a blockchain, ensuring no single point of failure.
Open-source: The code is usually public and can be reviewed by anyone.
Smart Contracts: Use self-executing contracts to automate processes.
Token-Based: Often use tokens for transactions, governance, or incentives.
Censorship-Resistant: No central authority can take them down.
