About Blockchains
About Waterfall
Waterfall is a highly scalable and decentralized BlockDAG EVM-compatible Layer 1 protocol. Low transaction fees and EVM compatibility make Waterfall the platform of choice for Dapps.
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.
