Distributed computing is a well-known concept in the contemporary era. Every big technological company/firm runs their applications on servers distributed across the world. It compliments multiple benefits, including yet not limited to rapid response times to clients and better reliability. But, distributed the server may be, or it is still under the control of a centralized entity, i.e., the company spearheading the servers. Decentralized applications, abbreviated as DApps, aims to counteract this drawback. The server-side code of DApps are stored and executed upon a decentralized peer-to-peer network, like an Ethereum blockchain. This way, DApps maintain all the advantages of a distributed computing system while presenting several added benefits.
