Decentralized Applications (dApps) | Mimi Bebe

Decentralized applications, or dApps, represent a fundamental shift from traditional client-server models. Unlike apps that rely on a single central server, dApps run on peer-to-peer networks, most commonly blockchains. This architecture offers enhanced security, transparency, and censorship resistance by distributing control and data across multiple nodes. Early dApps emerged with the rise of platforms like Ethereum, enabling novel use cases in finance (DeFi), gaming, and digital identity. While the technical hurdles and user experience challenges remain significant, dApps are poised to redefine digital ownership and interaction.
