Decentralised Dapp Store
Decentralized Dapp Store, aka the D2App Store, is one of the key features of the upcoming 6.3 Desktop wallet release. It allows for a completely decentralized distribution of the Beam applications and builds upon an IPFS integration as well as Confidential Smart Contracts. The main goal is to improve reliability, privacy and censorship resistance properties in comparison to centralized frontends that are used in most current Web3 applications.
The process starts with registering as a publisher, which creates an account in the contract as well as generates an identifier that can be then posted on a website or in forums. Once the user adds the publisher they can see the applications that are distributed by that publisher, install them and run them within their desktop wallet. The application itself is an archive (.dapp) containing the entire application code that interacts with the smart contracts on the blockchain. The archive contains publisher and optionally auditor signatures to verify its authenticity and validity.
Beam D2App Store will support version management to ensure timely updates of applications as well as notifications on issues and potential problems.

Please spell check and grammar check posts before putting them out. I'm only on the first paragraph and it has lots of mistakes. For all the hard work you guys do, releases like this are one of the only ways people get an insight into the development of Beam. Spelling/grammar mistakes detract from the hard work and evolution of Beam.
