REBUILD ON
WORLD COMPUTER


WORLD COMPUTER: NO LIMITS

The Internet Computer is the first World Computer, and is unlike anything else
in existence today. The network hosts tamperproof and unstoppable code at
unlimited scale that runs with efficiency comparable to traditional software
hosted on centralized IT platforms, such as cloud services. This "blockchain
code" has gained essential new capabilities, and can securely serve web
experiences directly into web browsers, process and store vast amounts of data,
interact with Web 2.0 infrastructure, and run transactions on other blockchains,
enabling trustless multi-chain. Almost all online systems and services can now
be built fully on-chain. The end-to-end decentralized future of all compute has
begun, and Web3 is booming, on limitless and climate-friendly World Computer
blockchain. Join the movement.

The Internet Computer enables a Web3 future where "open internet services," such
as social networks, run autonomously on a blockchain, under the complete control
of community DAOs. Developers can design rich tokenized experiences in which
users become owners, and become part of an industrious virtual team that helps
them grow. DAOs transparently update the tamperproof and unstoppable code that
powers services, and can crowdfund from the decentralized ecosystem, enabling
communities of developers and users to be successful from anywhere the world,
democratizing Tech.

BLOCKCHAIN OPERATION THAT'S CLIMATE FRIENDLY

Thanks to the unique architecture and novel cryptography of the Internet
Computer blockchain, it can host smart contract software, data, and computation,
with levels of efficiency competitive with traditional software that runs on Big
Tech's cloud services. Meanwhile, it is currently tens of thousands of times
more efficient than the next most efficient blockchain. Web3 projects that
incorporate Internet Computer smart contracts can consequently dramatically
lower their carbon footprint, and help reduce climate change.
