Think of a world where you can transfer money without paying commission fee, control the information you share on the online and get claims settled without the need of any third party. Blockchain has made it all possible & simple with decentralized applications (Dapps).
Here, we will discuss a few of the many important & exclusive things about Dapps that will improve your basic knowledge and help to your business projects!

What is a decentralized Application?
Decentralized Applications (DApps) are applications that run on a p2p network of computers, as opposed to a single computer. The main benefit of this is that users of the network don’t have to depend on a central computer to send and receive information or money whatever. These applications take advantage of the power of blockchain and, more especially, use smart contracts to accomplish each term of the agreement between two parties.
Features of DApps:
DApps are beneficial for several reasons, including security, accessibility, and cryptocurrency integration.
DApps are so popular and in demand because of three essential features. Let’s find out what they are.
- Open Source
- Decentralized Consensus
- No Central Authority
Each application that is designed “decentralized” must be open-source, which needs to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers wish. And the second thing, each DApp has to be decentralized — since the data is stored on a decentralized blockchain network, it will be sufficient. Finally, each DApp must build its own activity through an stimulate system which creates tokens or other forms of digital assets like bitcoin, while also keeping to its own algorithm or consensus protocol. As long as these attributes are available in a new DApp, it can operate on its own network and function without the need of a third-party/central authority.
Classification of DApps:
Various types of DApps are available for use. All these apps can be classified into any one category of these three types are:
Type-I: DApps runs on their complete blockchain (like to the Bitcoin). Other cryptocurrencies also can be included in this DApp Type - I category.
Type-II: DApps runs on the encrypted blockchain of Type I DApps. Type II decentralized apps are based on protocols and provide crypto tokens, which are fundamental for their function.
Type-III: These varieties of DApps utilizes the protocol of a Type II DApp.
Ethereum dApps
Ethereum aims to create a protocol for creating decentralized applications. Ethereum provides developers with a principal layer: a blockchain with a built-in Turing-complete programming language, allowing you to write smart contracts and decentralized applications where they can build their own rules for ownership, transaction formats, and state transition functions. In general, there are three types of applications on top of Ethereum.
Financial Applications. Provide users with methods to manage finances, both fiat, and digital asset, including savings, wills, and more...
Semi-Financial Applications. Involve money, but finance is not the main focus.
Non-Financial Applications. Like as an identity verification process, voting system, governance tool, or even decentralized file storage system.
Dapps for all over the business sectors:
Moreover, all these Dapp have different fields of interest where it can be utilized and can do curiosity — and providing utility rather than security.
Some of the fields where blockchain and Dapp can do wonders:
- Agriculture
- Health Care & Medical
- Banking & Finance
- Retails & Ecommerce
- Media & Entertainment
- Education & E-Learning
- Travel & Tourism
- Artificial Intelligence
- Government
- Social Media
