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 Polygon

Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being POL. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
