Internet Computer & ICP: Building a Decentralized Internet
What is the Internet Computer Protocol?
The vision of a decentralized network
Imagine using social media without worrying about your data being sold, or accessing financial services without bank approval. This is the vision driving the development of the Internet Computer (ICP) - a technology designed to help build an internet free from the control of tech giants.
The Internet Computer, launched by the Swiss non-profit DFINITY Foundation in May 2021, is a Layer-1 blockchain protocol that functions as a 'World Computer' - a network of global, never-stopping machines that together form a single computing platform intended to replace centralized servers.

Why ICP is Special and Not Just Another Blockchain
In the tech world, there is a new project called ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) that is changing the game; it aims to do something big: replace the traditional internet with a faster, safer, and more decentralized internet.
But the problem is: people often make the mistake of comparing ICP to Amazon Web Services (AWS) or other blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Let’s take a look at why ICP is unique and why we shouldn’t compare it to other technologies.
What is ICP
ICP is a new way to build websites and applications on the internet, but it is decentralized, meaning anyone can use ICP to host their projects, rather than everything being controlled by large companies like Amazon or Google.

DFINITY Bridges Internet Computer Smart Contracts with EVM Networks. ♾️⛓️🔗
The DFINITY Foundation has announced a groundbreaking API that enables Internet Computer smart contracts to interact seamlessly with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks. This development significantly enhances cross-chain compatibility, allowing decentralized applications (dApps) to leverage the vast liquidity and user communities of EVM networks.
With this new API, dApps can now benefit from cross-chain liquidity, community integration, and simplified API key management. This integration also extends to Layer 2 solutions like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base, with the flexibility for users to add other EVM networks as needed.
Currently, Internet Computer smart contracts are operational with Bitcoin and Ethereum in projects such as Bioniq, Bitfinity, and Omnity. The future looks promising with plans to integrate with the Solana blockchain as part of the Chain Fusion initiative, further enhancing interoperability.
Lomesh Dutta, VP of the DFINITY Foundation, emphasized that this development marks a significant step in enabling the Internet Computer ecosystem to interact fluidly with any EVM network. This strategic integration aligns with DFINITY's broader vision to position the Internet Computer as a robust, third-generation blockchain network supporting the future of decentralized computing.
Dominic Williams, President of DFINITY, has been vocal about the need for high-quality blockchain infrastructure, often contrasting the Internet Computer with what he describes as the “junk” comprising 95% of current blockchains. This new API is a pivotal step in realizing DFINITY’s vision and advancing the blockchain industry.
Stay tuned for more updates as DFINITY continues to innovate and drive the future of decentralized applications.
