It is like an app on your phone but it runs on a blockchain, so it's not controlled by any one bloke. It's like having a group chat where no one person can kick you out.
Example
Using a dapp feels like going to a pub where the customers make the rules, not the landlord.
noun | daa p
A Dapp is like a regular app, but without all the corporate bullshit and data harvesting. It's an application that runs on a blockchain network, which means it's decentralized, trustless, and immutable (just like my ex-girlfriend's heart, amirite fellas?).
Example
"Dapps are the future of web3, bro. Soon, we'll all be using decentralized versions of Twitter, Uber, and PornHub. The possibilities are endless!"
"I tried to explain Dapps to my boomer dad and he just looked at me like I was speaking Klingon. He still thinks 'the Google' is the pinnacle of technological innovation. SMH my head."
