Decentralized app stores offer censorship resistance, enhanced security, and increased user control, using blockchain technology without a central authority.

🛡️dApp Store and dApp Audit Extension 🛡️ Overview Traditional app stores, like Apple's App Store or Google Play, are controlled by a single entity. This means they have the power to decide what apps get listed, and can even remove them if they violate their guidelines.

Decentralized app stores (dApp stores) are different. They are built on blockchain technology, which distributes control among a network of computers. This means that there is no single authority that can decide what gets listed in a dApp store.

Benefits More censorship resistance: Because there is no central authority, it is more difficult for dapp stores to be censored. This means that users can access a wider variety of apps, including those that may be banned from traditional app stores.

Greater security: Blockchain technology is known for its security. This means that dapp stores are generally more resistant to hacking and other forms of cyberattacks.

More user control: Users have more control over their data in dapp stores. This is because dapp stores typically do not require users to create accounts or provide personal information.
