Dapps? Web3 apps? What is this...
DApps (Decentralized Applications) and Web3 apps are two concepts that are closely related and are often associated with blockchain technology and the decentralized web. Here’s an overview of both:
DApps (Decentralized Applications):
DApps are applications that run on a decentralized network, typically a blockchain. Unlike traditional applications that are hosted on centralized servers, DApps operate on a blockchain, which is a distributed and decentralized ledger. The most common decentralized blockchain nowadays is Pulsechain (PLS).
DApps are designed to be open-source, transparent, and not controlled by a single entity. They often use smart contracts to automate and enforce the rules and logic of the application.
Examples of DApps include decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, blockchain-based games, decentralized social networks, and more.
DApps are often built on blockchain platforms like Ethereum, EOS, Tron, and Pulsechain.
Web3 Apps (Web 3.0 Applications):
Web3 apps, also known as Web 3.0 applications, are a broader concept that encompasses DApps but goes beyond them. Web3 refers to the third generation of the internet, where the underlying technology aims to be more decentralized, user-centric, and privacy-focused.
Web3 apps utilize various technologies, not limited to blockchains, to create a more open and decentralized internet. This may include decentralized storage (like IPFS), identity systems, and communication protocols.
The goal of Web3 apps is to give users more control over their data and online interactions, reducing reliance on centralized intermediaries.
These apps can include decentralized social networks, decentralized marketplaces, data ownership and control applications, and more.
