The Internet Computer (IC) is the only general-purpose blockchain and Web3 platform that can host and run applications at web speed in a decentralized manner. It is the World Computer that has the power to replace traditional IT, enabling a new generation of fully on-chain Web3 services in emerging areas such as DeFi, SocialFi, GameFi, and the Metaverse. The IC acts as a Web3 orchestrator by securely connecting with other blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum without the need for bridges. The IC outperforms other protocols in terms of efficiency, speed, security, and storage costs. It is truly scalable with unbounded capacity and is environmentally sustainable thanks to breakthrough levels of energy efficiency. ICP is the native utility token of the IC.
