What is a DApp (Decentralized Application)?

A Decentralized Application (DApp) is a software application or program that runs on a decentralized network of computers, rather than a single central server or authority. DApps leverage blockchain technology to enable trustless and transparent peer-to-peer transactions, interactions, and value exchanges without the need for intermediaries. DApps can be built on various blockchain platforms, including Cardano, and can encompass a wide range of use cases, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, social networking, supply chain management, and more.
