This article is my contribution to taking some of the magic and mystery out of Web3 DApps. Once you understand how they work from a high level, the topic becomes a lot more approachable and less scary. I hope this will help you wrap your head around Web3 faster. Note: the explanations below are very Ethereum-ecosystem-focused. They apply to compatible blockchain environments like Polygon though! Probably others as well, but I haven’t got enough experience to generalize with confidence.
