How One Click Dapp works
Introduction
All blockchain applications have two main components:
On-chain code e.g. a smart contract which handles the logic
Interface e.g. a website like https://app.uniswap.org
A Dapp is the combination of these two components.
The on-chain code portion of a Dapp "lives" on the blockchain network, so it cannot be accessed directly using a web browser.
One Click Dapp serves as the interface to any blockchain applications.
Instead, we must create a connection with a server or "node" connected to the blockchain network. Then we can use a library like ethers.js to communicate with the node and ask for details about our blockchain app. Finally, we can display these details in a standard web application.
Sounds like a lot of work right? Let's do it all in one click.
Creating Interfaces
All blockchain applications can be accessed using only a few details:
Network - The blockchain network where the on-chain code is deployed eg. "Ethereum mainnet"
Contract Address - The specific location of the on-chain code on the blockchain network eg. "0xabc123...."
Application Binary Interface (ABI) - A list of functions and their arguments for the on-chain code.
You can create OCD interfaces for any on-chain code, not just your own applications.
Every blockchain application can have an unlimited number of interfaces. That's the power of blockchain - access cannot be blocked.
Sharing Links
OCD stores all the information about your blockchain application and creates a new web URL, for example:
The heroic-lizard part of the URL is a randomely generated identifier.
