Pronunciation
[kuh-moh-zuh-buhl dee-apps (muh-nee lay-gohz)]
Analogy
Like LEGO bricks that fit together to build complex structures, composable dApps expose modules that other dApps can integrate seamlessly.
Definition
Decentralized applications designed to interoperate via shared smart contract standards, enabling developers to stack and combine functionality like financial Legos.
Key Points Intro
Composable dApps accelerate innovation by reusing and combining existing on‑chain building blocks.
Key Points
Standard interfaces: ERC‑20, ERC‑721, ERC‑4626, etc.
Permissionless integration: Any dApp can call exposed contract functions.
Risk aggregation: Composability can compound smart contract risk.
Innovation velocity: Rapid prototyping by assembling modules.
Example
A yield aggregator uses ERC‑4626 vaults from multiple lending protocols, ERC‑20 swaps on DEXs, and ERC‑721 collateralized loan NFTs to create a new leveraged product.
Technical Deep Dive
Developers import ABI definitions and interfaces, then interact via low‑level `call()` or high‑level SDKs. Composability patterns include adapter contracts, proxy factories, and diamond proxies (EIP‑2535) to bundle modules.
Security Warning
Composability introduces dependency risk: a vulnerability in one module can compromise the entire stack.
Caveat
Complex dependency graphs can hinder upgradeability and auditability.
