Many people in blockchain industry used to ask that, whether a ” Smart Contract Can be a Dapp Or Not ?”. I assure this kind of questions will rise only when there is no proper understanding on smart contract and dapps.

The reason for this kind of confusion among people is, both smart contract and dapps are of blockchain tools. Both can be used to work in a blockchain application. But, there is a a huge difference, between them.

The only similary between dapp and smart contracts is, Both are "blockchain derivatives”.

But, We assure, a smart contract alone can’t be dapp. Let us give a definition for both.

Dapp (aka) Decentralized Blockchain Application

A Dapp is an application that can be any desktop, mobile, or any device oriented application. All the details and other processes will be decentralize. (i.e) There will be no admin to control the datas, members details, processes, funds, storage and anything. Eveything is independent from a cetnralized authority. So the users can perform P2P Transacitons.

Smart Contract

A smart contract is digital agreement, where as the agreement can be act as an automation system for decentralized application. Since decentralized applicatoin, are not under the control of humans, then there should be an entity which can control everything inside a dapp and which should not be controlled by centralized authorities. So, that’s why smart contract are used in a dapp. Smart contract can automate the p2p transactions, can hold funds, can automate every other process inside a dapp.

Conclusion : If dapp is an technology body, then Smart contract is the soul of it.

So, hope we have given you a clarification on smart contract and dapp, we recommend it should be your responsiblity to understand the blockchain cconcepts in deep if you are blockchain enthusiast.
