About Internet Computer

Internet Computer (ICP) is a blockchain project developed by the DFINITY Foundation that aims to extend the public internet to host smart contracts and entire web applications at scale. Unlike traditional blockchains, ICP uses a novel architecture based on threshold cryptography (Chain Key Technology) and independent data centers running node machines. ICP enables developers to build fully on-chain applications including social networks, DeFi protocols, and enterprise software without relying on traditional cloud services.
