How to build a DApp on Ethereum

cointelegraph.com:

The Ethereum DApps ecosystem is thriving, and the potential for decentralized applications (DApps) is immense. Who wouldn’t want to participate? 

Developers can now build applications with their own native coins or nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on secure blockchain networks to serve any purpose — from financial and industrial use cases to social media sites and, of course, for gaming.

Let’s look at some questions developers might have and how they can get started on an Ethereum DApp project.

DApps are blockchain-based versions of the applications and software we use daily. They are powered with smart contract technology and built on smart contract-enabled blockchains like Ethereum.

The main benefits of DApps are that they can run on decentralized blockchains controlled by technology or community methods of governance rather than single corporate entities. With blockchain networks, DApp data doesn’t live in a single place, so there’s higher network security. DApps use cryptocurrencies, which makes allocating and transferring value, or making payments, far easier and less costly than fiat currency transactions.

For those who are already software or web developers, Ethereum DApp development might come naturally with an understanding of blockchain technology, smart contracts, Solidity programming language and cryptocurrencies.

There are also platforms in development that will allow developers to build DApps with less blockchain, programming and smart contract knowledge, but it’s helpful to have some development experience.

Ethereum’s longevity in the crypto space and its popularity often make it the preferred blockchain for DApp building. The network is still innovating; it is tried and tested and has an established ecosystem for
