The Future of DApps: Mapps

There is a lot of hype about DApps (decentralized applications) and there are new ones each day, everyone is saying DApps will be the future of software. No one is talking about the future of DApps though, as they are far from perfect.Blockchains have always been hard to implement in existing business infrastructures as it often requires a complete overhaul. Blockchain is great, but for the average business it is too costly to implement. After a company has figured out if the cost is worth it they have to compare all current blockchain projects and pick one they think is best, this is where things go wrong.Because once a company has chosen one blockchain to build on, be it their backend or a dApp, they are forever stuck to that one blockchain even if it becomes obsolete. Everyone is screaming ‘internet of things’ but no one has ever stopped to think how all the blockchains will work together so there can actually be a ‘internet of things’ that works. Like all industries, there won’t be a single winner in the race of blockchains, development is constant and new competing technologies come online every day.Blockchain infrastructure should be build as an operating system, not a single application. The ability to cross-connect and swap blockchains is mandatory for main stream adoption. This is where ‘MApps’ come in, Multi-Chain Applications. In my opinion these will be the new DApps and we’ll start seeing these in the future, Applications that can run on multiple blockchain platforms resulting in flexibility, redundancy and future proofing the application.What projects do this? Well, as I mentioned before new technologies are constantly being invented so it might be a new project that doesn’t even exist yet or it could be one of the current projects out of the top of my head: ARK (?), Quant Network and maybe some others. Let me know if there are more projects doing this btw.I hope you liked my little write up, I’d appreciate an upvote if you liked it :)
