I use dApp. I think it was how I saw it first and have mostly stuck with that. :smile:
Though happy to be corrected.

Wikipedia has dapp, Dapp, dApp or DApp.

I prefer “Trustware” as Andreas Antonolpolous called it in his lectures on bitcoin scripting.

I wanted to vote dApp but misclicked :frowning: is it not possible to change a poll vote?

Click hide results to show the poll again and then click on your preferred option.
I had to look it up on meta.discourse.org as it wasn’t obvious how to do this.

Reddit r/ethereum:

Note that it’s originally Đapp. The letter Đ (pronounced like G from giraffe in my country) is in fact the old English word Eth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth
But I usually do Dapp, which in my mind makes it into its own word rather than an abbreviation. - bitfalls

I have started just writing “dapp”.
In the end, when this becomes mainstream, all syntax will drop, and simplicity will win. So I think “dapp” will be how it ends up. - sonicsmith

In that case it should just be “app” when it’s mainstream. Will the average joe in the world really care or understand decentralized? - MarkOSullivan

+1 for dApp. I’m not sure how strong the logic is, but it just seems like it puts the emphasis on the “App” part which everyone understands and modifies it. - jconn93

Take your pick. I’ve worked in the online space for over 10 years and still can’t figure out the correct terminology for simple terms like: Login / log in / log into the frontend / front end of my ecommerce / e-commerce / eCommerce website / web site. - ViperfishAU

This reminds me of the confusion between E-Mail, Email, and email. We know which one of those won so you can probably guess this one. Hint: it’s dapp. - Sargos

What is the case for capitalization? dapp. - belizeth

Nerds and their camelcase - WeLiveInaBubble

The same way I abbreviate centralised app - Mineburst

App or Ethereum App - johpfe

Why make the distinction? If the UX is good, users won’t have to know anything about the backend tech anyway. - petok
