Front-end & Back-end in Web3
Compare traditional application architectures with DApps, highlighting the role of smart contracts as the decentralized backend.
Apps: Traditional vs. DApps
We interact with applications every day, from social media to online banking. But how are these apps built and structured?
In this lesson, we'll explore the two main architectural styles: traditional applications and Decentralized Applications (DApps). Understanding their differences is key to Web3!
Traditional App Structure
Think of a traditional application like a restaurant. It typically has three main layers:
- Front-end: What you see and interact with (the dining area).
- Back-end: The 'brains' that process requests (the kitchen).
- Database: Where all the information is stored (the pantry).
Each part has a specific role and works together.
