But what actually are DApps? And what are they used for?
What is a DApp?
A Decentralised Application or DApp is like a traditional app but operates on a blockchain network. They can be created for different real-world use cases.
Open-source: They are usually open-source, which means that their code is publicly available and any user can verify the code.
Smart contracts: They also rely on smart contracts to execute transactions. (Smart contracts are self-executing and key to ensuring transactions between parties are automated and seamless).
Decentralised: As they run on blockchain networks, DApps are decentralized and controlled by users or nodes instead of central authorities.
Cryptographically secured: They are also secured by cryptographic technology. This ensures all data is stored in a public blockchain to ensure there is no single failure point.
DApps are much less vulnerable to technical issues and attacks when compared to traditional, centralised applications. If a single, centralised server is compromised, the whole network could be taken down. (However, it’s important to note that DApps are not immune to hacks.)
DApps are also resistant to censorship and it’s extremely hard for governments or other powerful parties to control the network or block users from using it.
Drawbacks of DApps
A decentralised application’s code is published to the blockchain, making it harder to maintain and update.
Also, DApps may be less user-friendly than their traditional counterparts.
Use cases
There is a wide range of DApps with a variety of use cases like gaming, crypto wallets, DeFi apps, social media and more. Right now, the most popular Dapps are decentralised crypto exchanges or DEXs.
DApps typically support their own operation through the use of digital tokens based on smart contracts. Tokens may be native to the DApp's blockchain or unique to the DApp itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
Then you don’t pay. If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked.
