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 NEAR

NEAR is the chain abstraction stack, empowering builders to create apps that scale to billions of users and across all blockchains.
