What exactly is a dApp? Think of it this way: regular apps live on centralized servers controlled by big companies. But decentralized applications (dApps) flip the script—they run on blockchain networks instead. Same functionality you'd expect from traditional apps, just built on-chain with no single authority calling the shots. That's the key difference.

Basically, it removes the middlemen, but is this thing really better than centralized systems? I still think it's painfully slow.

ngl this is exactly what I've always wanted to tell newbies, and finally someone has said it clearly... It's so awesome not having centralized parents overseeing everything.

Basically, no one can lock your account, and that's the kind of thing I like.
