About Blockchains
About ICP
The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud blockchain that pursues the $1+ trillion cloud market — hosting apps, websites and enterprise systems, fully onchain, where they benefit from extraordinary security and resilience, can do multi-chain token processing, and can be administered in a decentralized way for safety.
A core purpose is “self-writing cloud”, where AI creates apps for mass market users, which are sophisticated and secure, in response to instructions they provide over chat.
The ICP token is burned powering onchain apps, and is a cryptocurrency used in network governance staking.
It’s easy to try — use AI to create onchain apps (e.g. caffeine.ai) or use an online IDE to write serverless code yourself (e.g. icp.ninja)!
About Flow
Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer apps and the digital assets that power them. The network runs on a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a unique "multi-role" architecture that solves the blockchain trilemma, balancing scalability, efficiency, and cost.
FLOW ($FLOW) is the native utility token that is used for:
- Fees for processing transactions and storing data.
- Buying, selling, and trading assets on Flow
- Staking and delegating to secure the network
Flow tools include:
- Cadence, a purpose-built smart contract programming language designed for consumer-grade applications
- Full EVM equivalence, allowing anything from Ethereum to work on Flow
- Protocol-level account abstraction and mobile support for onboarding new users
- Cross-chain interoperability with the wider web3 ecosystem
- Developer hub with comprehensive documentation and tools
