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 Polkadot
Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
