What does DAPPS mean?

[yascrypto94]

Hello guys;

Please I have a question, I often hear when I read some whitepapers, check some websites, or surfing in the internet; the word DAPP or DAPPS in plural.

What I have understood is that it's like Staking applications or Something like that, am I wrong?

Thank you

Dapps means decentralized applications. They are runs as digital applications on the blockchain. There is no single entity has the power to control the decentralized applications.

The best description i have seen, by Andreas Antonopoulos:

Dapps are applications that cannot be stopped, as they run in a decentralized plataform.

And why should someone run an app like this? If you have an application that somehow offend someone powerful, or is against their interests, then dapps are tbe way to go.

Ethereum blockchain was build specifically to run smartcontracts and dapps

so is this mean even though a single person has multiple nodes still cant get the control over it !! or is there any logic

Here's a pretty good article on the difference between apps (applications) and dapps. The context of a mobile app and what dapps offer beyond it may be helpful for you or others.

Nobody has control over it.

The idea behind dapps and smartcontracts , on ethereum, is to have applications or contacts which none of the parts control.

The dapps will be running as long as the conditions are met. Running multiple nodes makes no difference, because the dapps will be  on all nodes.

there will never be a government or organisation that can controll everything, next to the ressource wasting ethereum blockchain that can die off if ethereum price collapses you can also just run you application on foreign servers

Here is a couple of good articles to learn more about it:

https://espeoblockchain.com/blog/dapps-blockchain-applications/

https://www.coindesk.com/information/what-is-a-decentralized-application-dapp/

I think this is something that we will definitely hear about a lot more moving forward in the crypto world.

Dapps are applications that cannot be stopped,

Best simplest description out there.
You have full grasp and understanding of what dapps really are by this because decentralized applications not controlled by anyone not giving as as much deep understanding of topic.

Like many said, Dapps are decentralized applications. I came across this article that includes info about how to use dapps. Check it out  https://www.dapp.com/article/dappedia-how-to-use-a-dapp
