Examples of decentralized DAPP
first of all, it must be pointed out that the relationship between DAPP and app is not the relationship between who replaces who or who eliminates who, but the coexistence relationship, or DAPP is the enrichment and improvement of app< Secondly, DAPP is the proct of the development of the times and the progress of science and technology
because DAPP is directly linked to blockchain technology, it is associated with transaction data, transaction assets, and tamperable decentralized storage< In his book decentralized applications, Johnston believes that a DAPP application should meet all the following conditions:
1. An application must be completely open source, autonomous, and no entity controls most of its tokens. The application must be able to upgrade according to the market feedback and technical requirements, but the upgrade can only be carried out after the application users reach a consensus< Second, the application data must be encrypted and stored on the public blockchain
3. The application must have a token mechanism (it can use the existing token or issue a new built-in token), and the miner or application maintenance node needs to get token reward
fourthly, the generation of application token must be based on the standard encryption algorithm, and valuable nodes can get the token reward of the application according to the algorithm
in short, an application running on the public chain in the form of smart contract can be called DAPP. Different from the conventional app, DAPP's logic (source code), stored proceres and stored results are open and transparent, and can't tamper with the storage logic and content< At present, dapps meeting the above conditions include the following categories:
content dapps -
the coupling between blockchain and content vertical field is very good. Using the characteristics and technology of blockchain, there are more and more platforms to do content, and the competition on this track is extremely fierce, such as steemit abroad, currency, Primas, fulcrum, Youxiang, etc Pressone et al<
DAPP for games -
such as the "blockchain cat raising" incident, which was very popular last year. In this game, players can buy, sell and breed different kinds of kittens. The popularity of this game even caused serious congestion of Ethereum network. Now the blockchain game is not limited to the Buddhist pet game, other blockchain Gobang, drifting bottle, card games and so on
with the development of the times and the more mature and popular blockchain technology, DAPP will be paid more and more attention, and more and more dapps will appear in various scenes of life.
DAPP is an Internet application. The biggest difference between DAPP and traditional app is that DAPP runs on a decentralized network, that is, a blockchain network. There is no centralized node in the network, which can control DAPP completely. As we all know, app is centralized. Need to request a server to get data, process data, etc
compared with DAPP, blockchain is the underlying environment for application running. It can be compared to IOS, andorid and other mobile operating systems running on various apps. Learning blockchain is not the bottom part of learning blockchain. Maybe more people need to learn the development of DAPP. Build and run applications in the blockchain environment< br />
a complete DAPP needs to meet the requirements of completely open source and autonomous applications. DAPP cannot be changed once it is deployed. The upgrade of the application can only be carried out after most users reach a consensus. All data must be encrypted and stored on the decentralized blockchain application platform. Secondly, DAPP must have token mechanism
DAPP can be fault-tolerant without single point of failure. They don't have centralized institutions to interfere. There will be no deletion or modification of some data. It can't even be shut down. Because the data is encrypted storage, there will be no user data leakage events like Facebook and Google
of course, at present, most DAPP procts are still in the experimental stage. Although blockchain technology has brought us a lot of imagination, the specific implementation of DAPP procts still needs to consider a lot of relevant factors.
DAPP is the abbreviation of Chinese distributed app for decentralized application
a DAPP has background code running in a distributed peer-to-peer network. The background code of traditional app is running on the centralized server
the front-end code of a DAPP can be developed by any language, just like the traditional app. In addition, DAPP's front-end code can be hosted in distributed storage services, such as swarm or IPFs
If an application = front end + back end, because Ethereum contract is composed of code running in Ethereum distributed point-to-point network, distributed application = front end + contract
the picture shows a DAPP architecture:
app we all know that it is a client application, which is the abbreviation of application. DAPP is d + app, and D is the first letter of English word decentralization. Chinese word translation is decentralization, that is DAPP is decentralized application. This is to understand the concept literally. To form a clear, accurate and necessary concept in the brain, we need to understand DAPP in depth
compared with app, the biggest difference between them is centralization and decentralization. App needs money first, so it needs financing first; Then there will be more people, so we will develop and operate after recruiting all the people. DAPP is the proct of inheriting traditional app and combining the characteristics of blockchain, which is more like crowdfunding mode, sharing mode and decentralization mode
