The Evolution of Metaverse Decentralized Applications (dApps): A Development History
Introduction The concept of the Metaverse has been around for decades, but it wasn’t until the rise of blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps) that it started to gain mainstream attention. Metaverse dApps have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with each other and with digital information. In this blog post, we’ll explore the development history of Metaverse dApps, from their humble beginnings to their current state. The Early Days of Decentralized Applications (2014-2016) The concept of decentralized applications (dApps) was first introduced in 2014 by Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum. At the time, Buterin envisioned a platform that would allow developers to build decentralized applications that would run on a peer-to-peer network, rather than on a centralized server. The first dApps were built on the Ethereum blockchain and were mostly simple applications such as decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and prediction markets. ...
