BUILDING DECENTRALIZED SOFTWARES USING BLOCKCHAIN AND CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Now, we are at the dawn of the new web 3.0 generation. One of the main technologies of this generation is the blockchain technology, which enables decentralized and transparent solutions. The blockchain movement has been viewed as quite ideologist, often claiming to give the power back to the users. While web 2.0 platforms monopolize the value created online, despite most of it being created by users, web 3.0 allows users to not only read and write, but also own. The technology has led to the development of a new type of interaction facilitator: the decentralized applications (dApps). This thesis investigates how to build a decentralized application with etherium blockchain and cloud computing, compares it to the traditional web 2.0 platforms and build a simple application for demonstration. Hopefully with the information provided, this thesis can give readers deep understanding about how dApp work and their usecases in reality project.
