'''dApps''' are [[software]] applications running on [[decentralization|decentralized]] platforms. | |||
== The features of the dApps == | |||
'''Apps''' ("applications") is [[open source software]], which means that the code is visible to anyone on the internet and thus no one can try to secretly hide any malware in them. The "d"-prefix means the decentralized platform. | |||
''' | |||
'''dApps are independent'''. After launching the App, they work independently. Any information about the dApp is stored on the [[blockchain]] which must be public and decentralized. Centralized blockchains carry a higher risk of application failures due to their single point of failure. | |||
dApp always uses a [[cryptography|cryptographic]] [[token]]. A decentralized application must have a [[PoV|proof-of-value]] mechanism to generate tokens using a cryptographic algorithm. | |||
== The main difference between the blockchain and the dApps platform == | |||
The main difference between dApps and blockchain is [[decentralization]]. Decentralization is one of the most important attributes in the crypto sphere but not all blockchain platforms are decentralized unless they are public. dApps are always decentralized. | |||
