What are Decentralized Application -dApps?

Decentralized Apps (DApps) are open-source software applications designed to run on peer-to-peer (P2P). These are blockchain-based applications that allow users to interact with smart contracts deployed on the blockchain networks. DApps aren’t owned by a single entity, they never have downtime, and they cannot be shut off.

Since d-apps don't rely on central servers, risk of failure is greatly reduced making them more reliable than traditional applications. D-Apps allow for greater freedom, transparency and openness as well as reduces the risk associated with handling users data. Because of their nature, creating a dApp is a demanding procedure that needs careful consideration. It is challenging to implement repairs and significant upgrades once a dApp (and the underlying smart contracts) have been deployed. It is crucial that your dApp be developed professionally as a result. Are dApps new to you? visit our What are dApps? page. A basic description of their purpose and function can be found in the handbook on trends and problems in dApp development.

Are you unsure whether a dApp is best for you? Here are some ways that creating dApps could help your company!

Benefits of D-Apps Development
for Business

Automation
D-apps are powered by self executing smart contracts written in code that provides automation.
This reduces transaction cost and enables effortless peer-to-peer transactions.
Transparency
Data is stored on distributed public ledger which records everything in a secure and transparent way and gurantees immutability. This creates openness and transparency, and eliminates the need of a middlemen to connect to your customers.
Open-Source
D-Apps code is open to everyone for review. This gives more flexibility to the ecosystem to progress faster and be able to develop more securely as more inputs can be provided.
Privacy
D-App recognizes users with the help of blockchain validated cryptography.
This eliminates the need of creating accounts by users which facilitates the ease of use and provides greater privacy.
Fault-tolerance
There is no single point of failure as d-apps are decentralized therefore no single node controls all the transactions or records.
As a result d-apps are more stable and safer than traditional apps.
User Autonomy
D-apps function on the basis of consensus by all users . Consensus is also required when any changes are made to the code of d-app itself.
The decentralized nature of d-apps guarantees that no one can dominate or act as a gatekeeper.
Incentivization
Tokens and digital assets are used by D-apps to incentivize validators of the blockchain.
This benefits both the developer as well as the user and guarantees greater participation.

The DApp Development Process

for devloping D-apps,P2P softwares uses following programming languages,framework and
blockchain protocols.
Programming languages-java script,Type script,Go, Solidity, Node.js
Frameworks-React,React-Native,Angular,Ionic
Blockchain Protocols-Rikeza,EOS,Hyperledger,Polkadot, Celo
The dApps development process goes through the following phases:
1. Business and Technical Analysis:
The first step includes understanding the purpose of the application and how it will solve the problem, it will be designed for. If you are certain about how you wish the d-app to be developed at this stage , we will analyze your plan to determine if any improvemrnt or changes are required.
2.Architectural Design
An initial design of the d-app architecture is conducted after use case has been determined. The architectural design's purpose is to create Proof of Concept and it includes a plan on how frontend layer, the user interface and the backend layer which includes smart contracts, storage and blockchain will interact with each other.
3. Low and High Fedelity Design
Fidelity design includes elements such as content, visual designs and interactivity. Firstly low fidelity design is used to elucidate how how the app will look and work after that a high-fidelity design is created that results in a clickable prototype.
4. Backend and frontend Development
The fidelity designs are moved to the development stage at this step and the frontend and backend are finalized. The frontend can be created in any programming language that can make application programming interface (API) calls at the backend.
5. Internal Audit
An internal audit is conducted to review previous development stages and to check all specifications and requirements have been met. Tests are also conducted to check how the various parts of the D-app works together.
6. Testnet Deployment
The test net deployment allows developers and clients to test the d-app at no cost and to assess if the d-app works as planned.
7. Mainnet Deployment
The d-app is finally deployed on main net on which it will function and becomes available for users.
