dApps are applications that run on blockchain technology, and like many other apps, allow you to play games, trade coins, or solve other problems. Individuals can build their own dApps on the Ethereum blockchain, but unlike a regular application (say, Facebook), the data isn’t centrally stored and controlled. It’s stored on the Ethereum blockchain, where each user has control over their own data and can interact with other users directly without going through an intermediary. ForkDelta, a crypto token exchange, and Magic Eden, an NFT marketplace, are two popular examples of dApps.
