# Decentralized applications

Develop cutting-edge Web3 applications on immutable, shared ledgers that no one party can control, or use Ethereal as a bridge solution.

### Example decentralized applications

* **Decentralized exchange** with automated market making via smart contracts. Ex: UniSwap, Pancakeswap, SushiSwap.
* Yield generating applications such as Yearn Finance.
* Swap router aggregators from multiple liquidity sources on different decentralized exchanges such as 1inch or 0x.
* Lending and borrowing via smart contracts such as AAVE. 
* Liquidity farms.
* Governance voting applications using smart contracts.
