Since dApps aren't governed by a central entity it brings the point, how are dApps governed? Governance of dApps occurs through tokens, native to its blockchain, which represent a portion of ownership within the dApp. With token ownership, decisions within the dApp are made through a majority vote via consensus mechanisms<\/a> where owners of tokens vote on what changes may or may not occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Points Of Failure<\/strong> - The absence of centralized servers means that the network isn't reliant on a single computer node reducing the points of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncensored<\/strong> - A distributed governance ensures that there is no one person who can block or restrict other users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Privacy<\/strong> - A real world identity isn't required to use a dApps services.

Smart contracts are programs that once launched, are immutable and execute the rules encoded within the smart contract without intervention. Smart contracts can be encoded to do almost anything such as releasing funds or purchasing tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since dApps aren't governed by a central entity it brings the point, how are dApps governed?
