Strategies For dApp Development Companies

blockchain app developer

Am I the only one who have seen first glimpse of cryptocurrency revolution , by which we all are being exposed to blockchain – The network of Nodes . As a dApp development company , the concept of Blockchain has made itching in our hands to create decentralised application or dApps – A open source software totally based on Blockchain technology .

The market of decentralised blockchain is growing at fast pace , so is the blockchain based mobile application .
Given below are myriad of reasons of how dApps can be smartly used .

Ecommerce / Decentralised Marketplace

The Idea : In order to create a new financial system wherein  transaction can be done from peer to peer , and centralised banking has no power can only happen if Blockchain concept exist together with cryptocurrency. It is fact that decentralised market need to be necessarily exist , if we want dApp market to be achieve sustainability .

Benefits : The decentralised marketplace is fully secured marketplace which works on peer to peer network which simply means no single point of failure exist in this network . This concept can aid us in trading with cryptocurrency for goods and services , thereby not using  any third party like PayPal , and customer can make the payment directly . Accounts are tied to cryptocurrency and hence you will get rid of your hold/transfer of money on your respective mercy of account holders .

Crypto-Collectible Games

The Idea : Blockchain open the new door for gaming industry as well . The blockchain ability to create social spaces and worlds are expanded to infinite level . Games like EVE Online has taken birth due to blockchain .Integrating concept of blockchain into a pre existing system can lower barrier of entry , thus increasing active player base . The dApps concept can give rise to gaming , gambling and much more which are yet to be explored .
Benefits :  Games like Magic : The Gathering  are build for trading with friends , but free time and team togetherness can act as a barrier for this concept to always work. So if you are planning to build your business on Blockchain concept , games like this are most profitable dApp , and plenty of improvement are yet to come , as the real big app to touch the sky is yet to come .

Messaging / Social

The Idea : We always had our majority of communication through use of messaging apps , in social media is playing a pillar role in communication . dApps are offering blockchain based messaging services .
The introduction of EtherTweets which is know to be decentralised version of Twitter with help you publish 160 character of message , but once the message has got published no body can remove or take it down expect the publisher . Accounts can also receive donation on Ether donation , which can influence user to stick with the platform .
Similarly Status.Im ( currently in beta version ) is a open source platform which act as a marketplace where anyone can list their dApp and a user can download the same .
The Benefit : Giving means to easily share and exchange coins together with freedom of sharing thoughts through social media , wherein no one can delete the post except the owner itself  will surely be the future of social media .

Crypto Wallet

The Idea : In Ethereum the value of the Ether fluctuates at fast scale , so you will necessarily need a place to keep the record of your coins . There are various ways of counting , but wallets will be requiring private keys to access your currency . The best wallet works across all the platforms and will facilitate you with inbuilt backup and restore facility .
For instance , CoinBase a digital platform on which we you buy and sell Bitcoin , Ethereum & Litecoin .
Benefits : Crypto wallet will gain its popularity , as cryptocurrency has already left its foot imprints in the market . There is no universal dApp per currency in the market and hence plenty of opportunity  has yet to come in the market.

The Potential of dApp Development

The true potential of dApp is yet to be seen , the best time to educate yourself about the concept of blockchain is now . So explore the world of Blockchain , and varieties of currencies which are available in the market . While dApp development companies won’t be able to replace any traditional app , but it’s easy to develop something new which will be know to be the future of app development , as none of the app have gained the huge popularity worldwide yet .
Winklix.com is also leading blockchain app development company based in India . Contact us now for your next big Blockchain based application .

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CONVERTING A WEB EXPERIENCE TO NATIVE APP

web and native app winklix

There are many businesses that just have the website for their businesses. They do not have a mobile app for their business. But just having a website is not enough for the businesses to expand. They are missing out on key customers. To trend in today’s highly competitive market, it is essential to have a mobile app so that they can compete with their competitors. But moving on to mobile app from a website is not a simple task as it looks. There are lots of things that need to be considered while moving from website to native app. These things are explained below:

Analyse your existing website

 

First thing to do before migrating from website to native app or hybrid app is to analyse your existing website. This will not only help your website to improve but it will help in enhancing the user experience of the app which is going to be created. Find out the features that are working for you and what are not working well. Implement the features in the app that are working well and have much popularity.

For example Facebook first launched its website and then after analysing what is working for them, they launched an app on the android and iOS platform. This will enhance the chance of more successful app launch.

Analyse your audience

 

It is very vital to determine type of audience you have. It may happen that when you just have the website, you may be losing a certain type of demography who is more interested in using native apps. You can identify the devices and platform people are using for visiting your website using tools like Google analytics etc. So it is crucial to analyse your audience. If your audience is of a type where the native app is not required, then it may be bad idea to build an app for your business.

Think through the different use case for apps

 

Thinking about the use cases for your app is very vital. Will the people use your app in crowded place? Will they use your app after a long day of work? Will they use the app when the mobile charging is low? So it is quite important to go through these test cases before building a native app for your business.

Think about the reasons for building the app

 

Analyse if your current website is meeting all the requirements of your business. If yes, then you don’t have to build an app for your business as building a website is very time consuming and costly process. However if you believe that you have to provide services which your website cannot provide or looking to attract mobile demography, then you must build an app as it will help your business to grow.

Apps changes the user experience

 

It is highly noted that the mobile apps are very progressive and interactive. Due to these reasons, the app completely changes the user experience. For example if you want to implement messaging feature, then mobile app is a good option as it will provide a better user experience when compared to the website.

Concluding Note

 

All the above factors must be considered while trying to move from website to an app. This will help you to grow and boost the revenue of your business. Native apps will provide an edge to your business.

So are you searching for app development company ? So just close you eyes and hire Winklix – Best App Developer , who can provide you all type of app development right from e-commerce mobile application to cryptocurrency app development solution .
