About Internet Computer
The Internet Computer (ICP) allows Web3 services to run 100% on-chain, being the only protocol on top of which developers can build and users can enjoy fully decentralized applications. ICP ditches corporate cloud, insecure bridges and expensive oracles.
The Internet Computer enables people to build Web3 services and enterprise systems directly on a public decentralized network, which scales even to hosting social networks and media streaming and is a cost effective system to displace the traditional internet. Hosted services are tamperproof, don’t need firewalls, support Web3 functionality, and can trustlessly interact with the outside world.
