$ICP Internet Computer Protocol is a blockchain network that aims to bring greater efficiency, speed and decentralization to computation and data storage. The project aims to address shortcomings associated with the traditional Internet, such as monopolization of services, poor systems security and misuse of personal data.
Three features differentiate the Internet Computer from other blockchain networks:
Anyone can create a decentralized application (dApp) on its blockchain platform thanks to a simplified user interface.
ICP runs on a decentralized network with dedicated hardware established by independent parties rather than a cloud maintained by centralized data servers.
The blockchain processes transactions quickly, setting it apart from other cryptocurrencies that may take 30 minutes or more to complete transactions.
Internet Computer network’s native utility token, ICP, is used to facilitate the network’s governance, compensate nodes that perform computations and to reward participants for their engagement in its ecosystem.
