DAppNode is a tool that allows people to host decentralized apps in a truly decentralized way, eliminating the reliance on vulnerable third party vendors and adding an extra layer of incentivisation that will spread adoption of the blockchain ecosystem. The idea of users setting up their own nodes is something that would give the network an increased security factor as well as spreading decentralized technologies.
