At the core of DAppNet's infrastructure is its blockchain foundation, which is pivotal in determining the project's scalability, security, and functionality. While the final selection of the blockchain platform is pending, DAppNet is considering leading contenders such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polkadot. The decision will be informed by the following critical factors:

Scalability: To accommodate a growing number of transactions without compromising speed or increasing costs. Security: A platform that offers robust security features to protect against attacks and vulnerabilities. Smart Contract Functionality: Comprehensive support for smart contracts is essential for developing sophisticated decentralized applications. Community and Ecosystem: A vibrant and supportive ecosystem is vital for the project's growth and adoption. Interoperability: The ability to interact with other blockchains can significantly enhance DAppNet's functionality and reach.
