What is a Web3 Application?

Web3 applications are independent applications that can be built through a layer 1 protocol like Lisk.

There are many functionalities and features that can be created as web3 apps and though they still rely on the mainnet, they are not fully dependent on them. Beyond that, web3 applications work with sidechain technology making them more prepared for a future in which interoperability is functionally applicable. This approach gives them the chance to communicate with the layer 1 segment of the chain and other applications within a particular ecosystem.

How to Build a Web3 Application

Building a web3 application has become easier with time. Using JavaScript, the Lisk team has increased accessibility to development tools with the most widely used programming language internationally. This is done through the easy-to-use Lisk SDK, which gives developers a modular tool to develop web3 apps with a variety of use cases and functionalities.

Any JavaScript developer can access the Lisk SDK and add or remove modules according to the use of the app. Coders can choose whether or not to add proofing algorithms, new tokens, or other social aspects to their platform. The rest is all based on JavaScript coding to build whatever you may have in mind.
