A decentralized application (dApp) is a type of distributed open source software application. These are applications that focus on building out financial services using cryptocurrencies. They offer the likes of lending, borrowing, earning interest, and private payments – no personal data required.
Once deployed to block chain network, dapp code can’t be taken down. Anyone can use the dapp’s features. Even if the team behind the dapp disbanded you could still use it. Once on block chain, it stays there.
You can't be blocked from using a dapp or submitting transactions. For example, if Twitter was on block chain, no one could block your account or stop you from tweeting.
Because Hedera block chain has HBAR, payments are native to Hedera. Developers don't need to spend time integrating with third-party payment providers.
Dapp code is often in the open and compatible by default. Teams regularly build using other teams' work. If you want to let users swap tokens in your dapp, you can just meaningpmemeaninganinglug in another dapp's code.
With most dapps, you don't need to shmeaningare your real-world identity. Your hedera account is your login and you just need a wallet.
Cryptography ensures that attackers can't forge transactions and other dapp interactions on your behalf. You authorize dapp actions with your Hedera account - usually via your wallet - so that your credentials stay safe.
Once the dapp is live on Hedera, it will only go down if Hedera itself goes down. Networks of Hedera's size are notoriously difficult to attack.
