What are DApps? 

There’s no way you have no idea what an app is since we’re using different apps every single day, if not every minute, but do you know what DApp is? DApp stands for Decentralised Application. As the name implies, a DApp operates on a blockchain network as opposed to a single computer, and thus it can refrain from being controlled by a single authority.
