INTRODUCTION OF DECENTRALISED APPLICATIONS
The dApp (decentralised app ) concept is still in its nascent stage. Explaining the same in a single line is tough because no specific definition seems to fit all the attributes that make an application a decentralized app. As dApps, an application is required to exhibit the following four characteristics:
Open Source: The first and foremost attribute is that such apps should make their core source code available to everyone. As the core characteristic of dApps is autonomy and unanimous consensus, essentially the changes must be decided by all or the majority of the users. Also, the code should be available to everyone for checking out.
First, everything you need to know about the SmartContract code and see if the DAPP uses the correct contract address (in some cases, when you use metamask and call functions, scammers can change the contract address). You need to see the contract and its functions, a good decentralized contract does not have functions like "remove all Ehers" or "Pausable" and "Selfdestruction".
If the contract use a random number make you sure that the random number comes from Oraclize service, if not the number can be modificable.
Decentralized Nature: As the name suggests, decentralized applications stores everything on a decentralized blockchain or any cryptographic technology to save the app from perils of centralized authority and emphasize on autonomous nature.
Incentivization: As the app is based on the decentralized blockchain, the validators of the records on the network must be rewarded/incentivized with cryptographic tokens or any form of digital asset that has value.
Blockchain specialization prepares you to design and develop end-to-end decentralized applications (Dapps) – which provide anyone with access to the blockchain’s features and services. You will use Truffle IDE, smart contracts, a simple web client and a MetaMask client. You will learn about the architecture of a Dapp: the front-end client interface, backed by the blockchain and smart contracts. The course covers the basic design of a Dapp, Truffle development process and commands (init, develop, test and migrate), test-driven development of Dapp, Dapp application models and emerging standards that are essential for predictable Dapp behavior.
Decentralized applications (dApps) are applications that run on a P2P network of computers rather than a single computer. dApps, have existed since the advent of P2P networks. They are a type of software program designed to exist on the Internet in a way that is not controlled by any single entity.
Decentralized applications don’t necessarily need to run on top of a blockchain network. BitTorrent, Popcorn Time, BitMessage, Tor, are all traditional dApps that run on a P2P network, but not on a Blockchain (which is a specific kind of P2P network).
As opposed to simple smart contracts, in the classic sense of Bitcoin, that sends money from A to B, dApps have an unlimited number of participants on all sides of the market.
Algorithm: Decentralized app needs to have a consensus mechanism that portrays proof of value in the cryptographic system. Essentially, this endows value to the cryptographic token and creates a consensus protocol that users agree upon to generate valuable crypto tokens.
Now that we know the characteristics, we can try to fit it into a definition that will help us identify real-life examples. Essentially, dApp is an application that runs on decentralized P2P network governed by all the members and not a single central authority.
AQUEST
According to their white paper aQuest is one of "nowadays" dapp that really easy and simple to use and apply .
AQUEST dApps promotes decentralization making them tamperproof and the records unalterable. As AQUEST dApps are based on a secure blockchain network, such apps promote a high level of security and are immutable from hacks and intrusions.
AQUEST dApps are based on backend code operating on a P2P network. When compared to conventional apps, this is a major difference as a normal app’s backend runs on a centralized server. When it comes to the frontend, the code can be written in any programming language. Using an API, frontend calls the backend in case of decentralized applications. Also, frontend can also be hosted on a decentralized storage system such as IPFS.
aQuest dApps helps you in building quests with innovative and intuitive cloud-based tools. These tools are accessible from all devices. Therefor managing and creating quests is simple and can be done from anywhere.
However, the main benefit of aQuest – decentralized applications – is that they, as the name suggests, lack centralization. This means that they can be more resilient, autonomous, and secure than traditional applications.
In addition to this, aQuest dApps mainly employ cryptocurrencies as the built-in medium of exchange. As a result, aQuest dApps could potentially dramatically boost the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies by exposing more people to it.
Faster & payment processing without needing to integrate payment gateway to accept funds.
High levels of data security due to smart contracts governed by private keys.
Greater anonymity without needing the users to follow the lengthy signup process.
Reliable data records as users can access the public blockchain to verify transaction information.
Now you see how different development of AQUEST decentralized app is compared to a normal dapps, let’s focus on the benefits of choosing dApps over apps managed via centralized servers.
This is just a short list of the AQUEST dapps already at work changing how we work, live and transact. This decentralized environment proves that it can result in more innovation and solutions to long-standing business and consumer issues.
Please Watch the following video for better understanding
AQUEST highly experienced team of blockchain developers has already started working on latest technologies of decentralization. With the inception of distributed ledger technologies such as: DAG and hashgraph will redefine the cryptocurrency marketplace with our extensive range of cryptocurrency exchange development services.
