Today’s Internet is centralized, relying on proprietary data centers owned by giant companies. The Internet Computer blockchain represents a new leap in blockchain design, offering an alternative to this centralized structure.
With its innovative approach, Internet Computer (ICP) seeks to establish the world’s first “World Computer,” empowering independent data centers across the globe to offer a decentralized alternative to centralized Internet cloud providers. Its technology aims at building almost any online/web service without the need for traditional IT infrastructure such as centralized cloud computing services. Using this tech stack, currently there is a vibrant ecosystem of DApps from social media, gaming, defi and more running 100% on-chain.
The native Bitcoin Integration on ICP is the unlocking of a new Bitcoin economy by enabling a plethora of native bitcoin smart contract use cases — all without the need for bridges. Use cases like DEXs offering BTC trading pairs, decentralized fundraisers accepting Bitcoin, or Web3 SocialFi services allowing satoshis to be sent via chat messages are live.
ICP is the Internet Computer network’s native utility token used for governance (holders can vote on the future of the network), reward network participants, and pay fees for transactions.
