💡 How is ICP’s Canister different from traditional smart contracts?
Most blockchains today (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana…) rely on smart contracts — small pieces of logic that:
• Can only hold a few MB of data
• Can’t scale by themselves
• And depend on off-chain servers to run real applications
💥 ICP changes everything with its Canister Smart Contracts — a fusion of code + data + persistent memory, running as on-chain micro-services.
• Each canister stores up to 8GB of data
• Can scale infinitely by adding new canisters
• And handles thousands of transactions per second (while others manage only dozens to hundreds)
⚡️ This allows ICP to host full web3 applications directly on-chain — no backend, no AWS, no central servers.
No censorship. No intermediaries. Just pure blockchain power.
🌐 Internet Computer – where apps don’t just live on the blockchain,
they become the blockchain.
