About Blockchains
About ICP
The Internet Computer enables you to build anything without traditional IT and Big Tech. It hosts decentralized serverless compute that’s simpler, immune to cyber attack, unstoppable, and controllable by DAOs. Next-generation smart contracts (named Canisters) that hold both code and state enable truly Decentralized AI. Canisters use Chain Fusion technology to write transctions directly to other chains without centralized bridges, enabling secure multi-chain dapps. Build social, defi, games, e-commerce, enterprise or any kind of application or service on ICP. The internet is evolving.
About Ethereum
Ethereum emerges as a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform empowering developers to craft and deploy smart contracts alongside dApps. Pioneering the smart contract concept, Ethereum enables self-executing agreements with terms directly encoded into its blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries. Additionally, Ethereum serves as a hub for the creation and exchange of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and various digital assets. Its intrinsic cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), facilitates network transactions and incentivizes miners to uphold network security. Ethereum's evolution to Ethereum 2.0 introduces a proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism, aiming to enhance scalability and energy efficiency.
