What is dapp and why is it important?

• NicolasSierro 8y ago
  Good explanation of Dapp features & benefits from a “decentralized backend”. I would add a frontend aspect to the “Flawless incorporation with cryptocurrency”: Dapps allow strong blockchain wallet integration. A Dapp can easily triggered a blockchain (trans)action done by the wallet (e.g. payment, send a token to a friend, trade a gaming asset, or breed Cryptokitties <3 ). How? By having the Dapp & the wallet together. You can integrate a wallet within your Dapp, but it is often more user-friendly to have several Dapps working with the same “external” blockchain wallet. For a lot of Dapps that are browser-based: a) Standard browser & wallet as plugin (e.g. Metamask, Scatter, TronLink); or b) wallet with browsing features (e.g. Cipher, Trustwallet, Casa Tookan, Toshi-coinbase)

    YES :) The idea of putting together an article about dapp is trying to explain the concept of dapp in a simple way. Maybe we should write a separate one about frontend, wallet and others! Thanks, Nicolas, always appreciate your comment.

      I can support for the article's content & add examples from gaming & collectibles. The related community is partially on discord & telegram, e.g. https://t.me/BlockchainGamesCommunity https://t.me/BlockchainGamesCommunity, https://t.me/egamersio https://t.me/egamersio https://t.me/cryptobitgames https://t.me/cryptobitgames. Writing, you have the experience (and can do it better ;-) )
