What is a dApp? Decentralized Application on the Blockchain

Curious about dApps? Discover the world of decentralized applications on the blockchain in this informative video by the District0x Education Portal, as part of the series on Blockchain Basics. Just like traditional app developers create software for iOS, developers can build on the Ethereum blockchain to create dApps. Although they may seem similar to regular apps, dApps are revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. Unlike centralized apps, dApps are powered by blockchain technology, bringing unmatched security and autonomy.
In a nutshell, the frontend of a dApp can be written in any language that interfaces with its backend, which operates on a decentralized network like Ethereum. All actions within the application are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and accountability. Most importantly, dApps are open-source, allowing anyone to access, enhance, and build upon the codebase. This collaborative nature fosters innovation within the community.
