What's the
Internet Computer

Imagine building scalable dapps, DeFi, websites, enterprise systems and open internet services that are 100% on-chain and can be tokenized. Guess what...it’s all possible on the Internet Computer.

The Internet Computer is blockchain reimagined, a world computer built by a team of more than 200 world-renowned scientists and engineers. Powered by groundbreaking chain key cryptography, the Internet Computer is the world's fastest, most scalable blockchain. It unleashes the full capacity of smart contracts enabling infinite data and computation capacity hosted entirely on chain. Developers, the world is at your fingertips!

Who's talking about the Internet Computer

“When you look back on every decade in tech, there’s one thing that really dominated. I think [the Internet Computer] will be the one in this next decade... I think you should take a hard look at this space. Because we’re not only changing the platform on what you build, but we’re changing what you can build. It’s a new kind of platform.”

Help Shape the Internet Computer

Calling all developers and blockchain enthusiasts! The Internet Computer is a fully decentralized platform, which means that its ownership is in the hands of the people vested in it. While the Dfinity Foundation is a main contributor building the Internet Computer, the evolution of how it is built is governed by a communal voting system. Not only do stakeholders have a say in what happens next, they also receive voting rewards for participating in governance.
