About Internet Computer
Internet Computer (ICP) represents a significant advancement in the field of blockchain technology, aiming to decentralise the internet by enabling a scalable, secure, and efficient platform for running applications and services directly on the blockchain. It was developed by the DFINITY Foundation, under the leadership of Dominic Williams, to challenge the current internet infrastructure and offer an alternative that reduces reliance on centralised cloud services.
Internet Computer is a blockchain-based project developed by the DFINITY Foundation. Its primary aim is to extend the functionality of the internet by enabling a decentralised environment where software and internet services can run directly on the blockchain without the need for traditional web servers and cloud services. Internet Computer aims to address limitations of traditional blockchains and cloud services by providing a scalable, fast, and secure platform. The project utilises a unique protocol called Chain Key Technology, which allows for high transaction speeds and efficient data storage.
