Greetings.
Cryptocurrency is a very wide ocean of it's own, and today we have the Decentralized Application (dApps) on our table.
What is your understanding of Decentralized Applications (dApps)? State the benefits of dApps.
Decentralized Application (dApps) can simply be defined as any digital application which operates on a blockchain. In any Decentralized platform, power is broken down into smaller units, there is no existence of single authority on a Decentralized platform.
Transactions in dApps are normally triggered by smart contracts. Users who operate on a Decentralized platform can interact with the platform at any point in time, without restrictions or query as power is not in the hands of a single authority.
- It operates on a peer to peer nodes, since power is broken into smaller units.
- The nodes of dApps cannot be hacked or should i say they are hack proofed.
- They are Decentralized and nothing is hidden on the platform.
- Users can interact with the platform without seeking prior permission from anybody since there is no single authority.
- Users do not need to undergo the stress of verification with any identity card.
Explain two dApps under each of the classifications; Social media-based dApps, Finance-based dApps, and Game-based dApps.
