What is a dApp?

A dApp (decentralised application) is an app whose core logic runs in smart contracts on a blockchain, used through a normal front end and a crypto wallet. Registers of rights and documents and member voting systems are examples.

Also called: decentralised application

Why it matters

A dApp makes sense when users must be able to check the rules or keep control of their records without trusting your company. Most of the work is still ordinary: front end, indexing, notifications and support. Decide early which parts must be on-chain, because each on-chain action costs a fee and is hard to change.

1Three layersSmart contracts on-chain, an indexer that reads chain data quickly, and a web or mobile interface.
2Wallet sign-inUsers connect a wallet instead of a password and sign each action themselves.
3Rules in KazakhstanExchanging or trading digital assets in a dApp for users in Kazakhstan counts as organising circulation, which the law allows only in specific cases, such as National Bank licensees or the AIFC.
ExampleA producers’ association keeps a shared register of conformity certificates: each member adds records through a smart contract, and buyers check a certificate by QR code. The interface looks like any website, with sign-in by email and a wallet built into the app.
