About the Internet Computer
The Internet Computer (ticker name ‘ICP’) is the world’s most powerful general-purpose blockchain and Web3 platform based on transaction speed and on-chain data storage. Its protocols apply advanced cryptography and computer science to host and scale smart contracts and enable computation without limit. For the first time, developers can build decentralized applications at web-speed and run smart contracts with breakthrough levels of efficiency. Dapps and DAOs are run entirely from the blockchain allowing a new cloud-less user experience – users can push into emerging areas such as SocialFi and GameFi, which blend social media and game functionality with DeFi, and build out the fully decentralized metaverse. The Internet Computer blockchain acts as a complete alternative technology stack, which has been designed to replace the centralized IT stack that is mostly controlled by Big Tech, and it can even be used to build secure and unstoppable websites and enterprise systems. It was incubated and launched by the DFINITY Foundation.
