With the New Year 2019 comes uncountable applications on Decentralized Networks called DApps. Centralized systems are everywhere controlling the internet we use today. In case of decentralized applications, this is not the case. Community keeps the control of the chain or ledger unlike a central entity. This also eliminates the need of third party roles in the system.

Why Ethereum is DApp Rich?

Reason why Ethereum has such a rich DApp culture is due the fact that it is made as a platform to host applications. Simple pieces of codes called smart contract can execute functions as soon as some conditions are met. This makes it very versatile platform to create and host applications which were centralized until now. It is also the 2nd famous cryptocurrency in the world. ref. [https://coinmarketcap.com/]
