Location-Based Dapps

Definition ∞ Location-based Dapps are decentralized applications that integrate real-world geographical data into their functionality. These applications utilize location services, often combined with blockchain technology, to provide services or experiences tied to physical proximity. They leverage GPS or other geolocational inputs to verify user presence or trigger specific smart contract actions. Such Dapps connect digital interactions with physical world contexts.
Context ∞ News reports on the expanding utility of blockchain often feature location-based Dapps, particularly in discussions about gaming, supply chain verification, and tokenized real-world assets. Debates consider privacy implications and the accuracy of off-chain data integration through oracles. These applications signify a growing trend of merging physical and digital realities within the decentralized web.
