Before reading about dApp (decentralized application) it is important for the user to be knowledgable about the functionality and use case of blockchain technology. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the previous content about Blockchain Basics.

On the blockchain, decentralized applications (dApps) serve as a conduit between users and the privacy of their personal data. By using smart contracts to solve issues like completing transactions between two participants without the need for a central authority, dApps are proving to be beneficial inside the blockchain ecosystem. These dApps exist and operate on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network of computers rather than a single computer. However, dApps also exist outside of the jurisdiction and control of a single authority.

The Ethereum platform is frequently used to create DApps, which can be used for a range of functions like gaming, finance, and social networking. Caduceus's new enhanced blockchain has greater functionality, computing power, consensus and edge rendering mechanisms allowing users to create a a powerful and scalable dApp.

The materials listed in the Developers section can help you get up to speed on the tools needed to construct, debug, and deploy Decentralized apps (dApps) to the Caduceus Network.

There are multiple use cases of developing dApps. Most current digital applications can be recreated/replicated to run on the blockchain in a decentralised manner. A typical web application, like Uber or Twitter, runs on a server fully managed and owned by them. Allowing the company complete control over the app and how it functions. In some cases it makes sense remove this trust requirement and have a dApp that runs directly on the blockchain without external influence.

DApps can operate on a blockchain network or a peer-to-peer network. In a P2P network, where numerous users are simultaneously consuming content, feeding or seeding content, or performing both tasks, examples of applications include BitTorrent, Tor, and Popcorn Time. In the context of cryptocurrencies, dApps operate on a blockchain network in a public, open-source, decentralized environment and are unaffected by any single authority's control or interference. For instance, a Caduceus dApp could be a replica of Twitter which has been developed for the blockchain, any users will be allowed to publish messages and content, but once this transaction of data and information has been processed, the information gets stored on the blockchain making it transparent and secure for anyone to see. No one including the dApp creator or the blockchain developers can delete or alter the message. This ensures the fair and reliable sharing of data.
