Web3 dapp
Here is a typical flow of a web3 dapp with a visual representation:
User opens the dapp: The user opens the web3 dapp in their web browser.
Check for Web3 provider: The dapp checks if a web3 provider (such as Metamask) is installed on the user's computer. If not, the user is prompted to install it.
Connect to Ethereum network: The dapp connects to the Ethereum network through the web3 provider, allowing the user to interact with the blockchain.
Request user's account: The dapp requests the user's Ethereum account address from the web3 provider.
Display dapp interface: The dapp displays its interface, showing the user what actions they can perform.
User sends a transaction: The user selects an action and sends a transaction to the Ethereum network through the web3 provider.
Transaction is broadcast: The transaction is broadcast to the Ethereum network, where it is verified and processed by miners.
Transaction is confirmed: Once the transaction is confirmed by the network, the dapp updates the user's interface to reflect the result of the action.
Retrieve data from the blockchain: If necessary, the dapp retrieves data from the blockchain to display to the user.
User disconnects: The user disconnects from the dapp, ending their session on the Ethereum network.
