Blocks processed

ICP scales horizontally by transparently combining subnet blockchains into one
unified blockchain. Subnets process blocks in parallel.

73.1 MB/s block throughput capacity
36 parallel subnets

Transactions/s

Transactions invoke computations by "actor" smart contracts. Subnets run
transactions concurrently, but deterministically

BLOCKCHAIN SINGULARITY

Today, Web3 really runs on Big Tech's cloud. Blockchains can host tokens, but
only tiny amounts of data and compute, and no web.

Tomorrow, blockchains will host it all, and fully decentralize everything, from
simple dApps, to billion-user social networks, the metaverse, streaming, games,
orderbook exchanges, and enterprise systems.

It's already happening at scale on the first true World Computer: Internet

PROOF OF USEFUL WORK

The Internet Computer is not a Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain created by
"validator nodes" running on Big Tech's cloud. It is formed by a sovereign
network of standardized "node machine" hardware operated by independent parties.
To participate, nodes must produce the same number of blocks as others in their
cohort, without deviation. In a scheme of Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW),
replicated smart contract computation is their work, driving optimal efficiency.
Nodes form into subnet blockchains, and then into a unified limitless
blockchain, using game-changing Chain Key Crypto.

INTELLIGENT BLOCKCHAIN

Traditional blockchains evolve and adapt through a painful and cumbersome
process. A protocol "hard fork" is developed, and a central group of insiders,
working at a foundation, or a corporation, then coordinates those running nodes,
or validators, in upgrading their network software. The Internet Computer
network, by contrast, runs under the control of an advanced DAO, called the
Network Nervous System (or NNS), which acts as the brain of the blockchain, and
completely automates and decentralizes processes such as protocol upgrades —
removing the need for backroom machinations by insiders, and powering fast and
seamless evolution.

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.
