Decentralized apps, or "dApps," are applications that operate on a decentralized network rather than a single central system. These apps use blockchain technology, where data is distributed across multiple computers rather than being stored in a single place. This approach allows for increased security, transparency, and eliminates the need for a central authority to control and manage the app. Ultimately, dApps enable users to have more control over their data and provide a more democratic and open environment for software applications.
