Polkadot dapps
Join the global Web3 movement – try out innovative dapps running on Polkadot.
Understanding decentralized applications
Dapps are just like regular applications, except they operate on a decentralized network, offering a bunch of benefits to their users.
- Safeguarded user privacy
- You don’t need to provide personal data to use dapps. Interact with dapps via your Polkadot account where only you own your data.
- No owners – no censorship
- Dapps are free from the control of a single authority, meaning no one can modify or remove data once it’s recorded on the blockchain.
- Massive autonomy
- Dapps make it possible for two anonymous parties to interact with each other without involving a central authority. In a secure way.
- Fast and secure
- Dapps are very robust, as they do not rely on any single centralized server. They hardly experience any down times.

You need some DOT or specific network’s token for fees. Once you’re set with your account, you can get tokens at a crypto exchange or within wallets.
