Definition ∞ A DApp platform provides the foundational infrastructure for developing and hosting decentralized applications. These platforms typically offer smart contract capabilities, a consensus mechanism, and network resources for DApp operation. They allow developers to construct applications that run on a blockchain, independent of a central authority. Ethereum stands as a prominent example, facilitating a wide array of decentralized services.
Context ∞ News surrounding DApp platforms often highlights competition among various blockchains for developer activity and user adoption. A critical discussion point involves the trade-offs between scalability, security, and decentralization inherent in different platform architectures. Future developments will focus on cross-chain operability and solutions that enhance transaction throughput and reduce network fees.
