# Dapps

## Overview

Decentralized Applications (a.k.a. dapps) are apps that run on top of the blockchain using smart contracts. Being run on top of a peer-to-peer network, dapps avoids some of the pitfalls of their centralized counterparts. This includes non-custodial data exchanges, transaction transparency, as well as censorship resistance. Most dapps also implement a [token](/getting-started/foundational-topics/decentralized-finance/tokens.md) that secures their ecosystem via specific application level incentives.

In general, most dapps are created with the ultimate goal of facilitating peer-to-peer transactions without the need for an intermediary. This includes use cases such as [decentralized finance](/getting-started/foundational-topics/decentralized-finance.md), game finance, decentralized socials, as well as many more novel use cases that are currently being incubated. As dapps are only limited by code, the potential use cases are virtually endless.

Due to the open and transparent nature of most dapps, one key benefit that arises is that of composability whereby dapps are able to leverage existing dapp functionality to generate even more value for their end users.

## KyberSwap: The liquidity backbone for dapps

At KyberSwap, we are building the next generation of liquidity solutions that will enable our users to trade and earn at superior rates. Users can access our liquidity suite directly via [KyberSwap Interface](/kyberswap-solutions/kyberswap-interface.md) or developers can integrate trade functionality directly in their dapp with the [KyberSwap Widget](/developer-guide/aggregator-api/how-to-guides/kyberswap-widget.md) or [KyberSwap Aggregator](/kyberswap-solutions/kyberswap-aggregator.md) and [KyberSwap Limit Order](/kyberswap-solutions/limit-order.md) APIs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kyberswap.com/getting-started/foundational-topics/decentralized-technologies/dapps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
