Dymension is similar to a full-stack web application where users interact with RollApps (front-end), Dymension (back-end) acts as the coordinator for the ecosystem, and the data availability networks (database) provide a place to publicize data.

RollApps are the interactive applications for the Dymension network. You can build games, DeFi, NFT projects and much more!

Front-end

RollApps

Dymension secures RollApps for users and provides a bridge for an easy deposit, play, withdraw user experience. (p.s. it also has a decentralized exchange to trade your favorite RollApp tokens).

Back-end

Dymension Hub

Data Availability Networks play a similar role to databases in web applications, providing data as needed. Unlike traditional databases these blockchains are decentralized and hold data for shorter periods. They help Dymension verify RollApps are secure.
