Have you used a decentralized app before? You likely answered 'No'. You may have used one and probably didn't know it was a decentralized app (dApp). Differentiating a dApp from other applications may be puzzling even for well-versed users. So, what’s the big deal about dApps? Can anyone build a dApp?

DApps are simply applications that run on blockchains. The growing popularity of blockchain products like cryptocurrencies and NFTs have put dApps on the map. Just like in the name, dApps are new applications that offer a decentralized way to do things.

Even with the many dApps in the market today, you can build apps for almost any operation. To make your dApp stand out, you must build a robust infrastructure that offers problem-solving functionality with top-notch user experience (UX). And building such apps isn’t complex. Read through this simplified guide to getting started.

Conventional apps are everywhere – we use them to browse the internet, access social media, make cashless payments, and even check the time and weather. These apps rely on data stored in servers to work efficiently. And these servers are often managed by companies that provide the apps’ services.

Contrarily, dApps run on peer-to-peer networks powered by blockchain technology. The apps’ servers have no central governing institution. Instead, the users collectively manage the dApps through the decentralized network. Blockchains ensure that all data stored in the servers are cryptographically secured and distributed publicly to network participants.

Arguably, dApps are at the core of the Web3 revolution, which aims to revamp our conventional centralized
