What are dApps



First of all, I’m positive we are all familiar dApps is the acronym for decentralized application.
A decentralized application(dApps) is a network whereby the same sovereignty is provided to its users. Dapp is an application that the users regulate without the involvement of intermediaries and not a person or group of people, like a centralized application that comprises intermediaries. On the contrary centralized application involves owners to the application; dapps doesn’t involve owners. DApps do not operate anonymously, so every transaction and action accomplished on the application is observable to the users, unlike the centralized applications that encrypt all of their activities and are only visible to the managers.

A centralized application works on stringent authorization from a group or a person. For instance, the Twitter application, we all know it's a centralized one, and moreover, its user has access to their account; however, it's not all actions conducted on this platform will be authorized because all stuff is monitored and regulated by the owners if unwanted stuff is being performed will be cleared hence not approved. Nevertheless, dApps offers its users boundless and an open room to go about its activities on the platform. The blockchain-built applications are examples of dApps. It provides higher security along with a minor cost. Moreover, liquidity is higher, which causes transactions to be executed faster than centralized applications. I solely believe DApps is an application built to disregard centralized applications of their function.



Explain the working system of dApps?



DApps were inaugurated because the centralized application gave rise to quite a handful of disadvantages to its users. With centralized applications, the security network compared to the decentralized is relatively low, making it prone to hackers. Dapps enables the users to execute activities at will, such as transactions, without any obstacles faced. It also allows the user to do specific actions faster than in a centralized application. Another beneficial feature about dApp comprises the fee charged for transacting; it is a minor one.

Moreover, all transactions executed are irreversible since no one has complete authority over the application to be able to reverse an action

There is no manager who sees through every transaction and can refund when an activity is performed, unlike centralized exchanges. When an activity is performed instantly, it gets stored on the blockchain where visible to every user.



What are the differences between dApps and other applications?



What are the differences between dApps and other applications?
DApps are unique from other applications because:

Third Parties are not involved:

Decentralized applications don't work under third-party legislation; they only involve the sender and receiver. Unlike the centralized applications where third parties are needed, it's the inverse for dApps.

Security:

For decentralized applications, every action is conducted and governed by the person. That comprises private information, which is available to only the user. A decentralized application does not keep any user's confidential information, but the centralized application does keep the private information of the user, which makes the user bears a risk of hackers.

Immutability:

No data can be altered since no leader is involved. However, data can be modified by the authority to fit their policies because authorities are governing in centralized applications.

Transparency:

All pieces of information are open to all; thus, every user can know every activity executed on the platform if they wish to know.

Irreversibility:

Transactions accomplished become irreversible if a false recipient is to obtain the tokens. It's a consequence of having no manager of the application to do refunding like other applications.



Explain the advantages and disadvantages of dApps?



AdvantagesDisadvantages
Users enjoy complete authority over accounts.loses account when the private key is lost.
It has a secure system that avoids hackers, and so keeps the users' data most securedit's anonymous nature reveals certain information to other users, which attracts hackers.
transaction time is faster and so enables users to execute specific transactions at the time wishes.wrong transactions are not refundable.
It’s effortless and straightforward for a person to sign up for an account.does not create jobs unlike centralized application providing jobs for intermediaries


How can dApps developers promote their apps?



DApps developers somehow promote their app in the following ways.

websites:

The internet is worldwide, and so to promote your app, it needs to be on the internet to be known in all parts of the world.

Social media:

This is also a widely used communication network which when used to announce about your application, could go viral. A huge number of people will get to know about your application.

Televisions:

Also televisions are used by people worldwide and so using the television to promote your application will really aid a lot in heightening the app.



What should we pay attention to when using dApps?



Some specific stuff we should be on guard for when using the dApps. The most severe is high-risk dApps. They look similar to dApps and are highly likely to be scams. They seem to be dApps but don’t qualify its qualities.
They are referred dApps since they look similar to dApp and should be given attention when handling dApps.
Additionally, Ponzi schemes should also be on the lookout. They are scams also similar to dApps and should be paid attention to. They are usually investment platforms.



How do we find the information of a DApp that we want to know? Provide the steps (Screenshot required).
