Q

4 Drawbacks of dApps?

A

Costs (any state change and computation costs money)
Time (current block time is 14 seconds; so it takes around 14 seconds from the function call to define the results of it)
Availability (in high transaction scenarios the network can throttle and not process function calls anymore)
Transparency (without a third party it is impossible to access and verify a Smart Contract source code)
