About Blockchains
About Arbitrum
Arbitrum serves as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, leveraging rollups to significantly boost scalability and reduce transaction costs while maintaining robust security. It enables developers to execute EVM-compatible smart contracts with a substantially higher transaction throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum's main chain, making it a compelling platform for decentralized application development.
About ICP
The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud blockchain that pursues the $1+ trillion cloud market — hosting apps, websites and enterprise systems, fully onchain, where they benefit from extraordinary security and resilience, can do multi-chain token processing, and can be administered in a decentralized way for safety.
A core purpose is “self-writing cloud”, where AI creates apps for mass market users, which are sophisticated and secure, in response to instructions they provide over chat.
The ICP token is burned powering onchain apps, and is a cryptocurrency used in network governance staking.
It’s easy to try — use AI to create onchain apps (e.g. caffeine.ai) or use an online IDE to write serverless code yourself (e.g. icp.ninja)!
