Internet Computer (ICP) is a third-generation blockchain platform that runs at web speed, with unlimited capacity.
It was founded in October 2016 by Dominic Williams and launched to the public on May 10, 2021.
Its goal is to enable the complete reinvention of software, providing a new way to build tokenized Internet services, cross-industry platforms, decentralized financial systems, and even traditional enterprise systems and websites.
Key features:
Complete decentralization: Internet Computer operates without the need for private infrastructure, allowing services to run directly on the public Internet network.
Unlimited scalability: Thanks to its Chain Key Technology, it can scale infinitely by adding new nodes and subnetworks.
Web speed: Query calls are executed in milliseconds and update calls take between 1 and 2 seconds to complete, providing a smooth user experience.
Utilities:
Development of decentralized applications (dApps): Provides a robust platform for creating applications in various sectors, including decentralized finance (DeFi), social networks, and enterprise systems.
Smart contracts: Allows the execution of contracts that automatically activate when predefined conditions are met, facilitating automated and secure processes.
Fast and economical transactions: Facilitates value transfers efficiently, with quick confirmation times and reduced costs, enhancing the user experience in financial and commercial applications.
Whitepaper:
The original technical document of Internet Computer is available on its official website.
