Decentralized Application (DApp)

Decentralized Application or dApp is defined as a software application that has its technology running publicly on a network of computers.

With a dApp, the technology is being maintained by many individuals instead of by one organization. That network gives the technology security. A hacker cannot incorrectly alter the application’s data unless they were able to get access into nearly all of the network’s computers and adjust it there.

dApp can also be spelled “DApp” or “Dapp”.
