World Computer
blockchain features:

Web serving

Smart contracts process http requests & serve interactive web direct to users

Emit less CO₂

Systems and services running on-chain can be more efficient than traditional IT

Limitless scaling

Scale mass-market web3 services 100% on-chain (no cloud or servers needed)

Internet Identity

Web3 sign-on via WebAuthn: fingerprint sensor, Face ID, etc

Web3 orchestration

Smart contracts sign TXs that run on other blockchains (chain key crypto)

Reverse gas model

Smart contracts pay for their own compute so users can just interact

HTTPS outcalls

Smart contracts can connect to outside world through http via consensus

Breakthrough speed

Pre-finalized query TX <200ms, and update TX in <2s

WebAssembly

Use any lang that compiles to the VM of the future: Motoko, Rust, C, etc

Rapid evolution

A governance DAO upgrades and configures the blockchain's nodes daily

100% sovereign

Internet Computer nodes are dedicated "node machines" (no cloud instances)

Bitcoin liquidity

Smart contracts directly send and receive bitcoin, no bridges, just crypto

Multi-block TXs

Smart contract calls (TXs) can be long-running and span multiple blocks

Daemon contracts

Smart contracts can be invoked by the network and run automatically

Parallelism

"Actor" smart contracts run in parallel, unlocking scaling & solving reentrancy
