ICP is the real World Computer that can replace traditional IT and enable a new generation of web3 apps and services running entirely on-chain. ICP ArchitectureThe Internet Computer Protocol runs on standardized server hardware, called nodes. Nodes are spread around the world and hosted in numerous independent data centers in order to ensure a high degree of fault tolerance and decentralization. Nodes are grouped together into subnets, where each subnet constitutes its own blockchain that makes progress independently of the other subnets. All subnets are connected and directed by the Internet Computer Protocol to form the Internet Computer.ICP GovernanceThe Network Nervous System (NNS) holds the ICP ledger, which tracks the accounts and transactions of the ICP utility token and enables token holders to stake ICP tokens and thereby participate in voting on every aspect of the IC.Chain-Key CryptoThe correct operation of subnets (and inter-subnet communication) relies on a suite of novel cryptographic protocols, collectively referred to as chain-key cryptography. Chain-key cryptography securely generates private key shares for the BLS signature scheme as part of subnet creation using a non-interactive distributed key generation (NIDKG) protocol. Subnets use BLS threshold signing to authenticate, in a decentralized way.Bitcoin IntegrationThe Internet Computer is cryptographically integrated with the Bitcoin network. The canister smart contracts it hosts can create bitcoin addresses, and send and receive bitcoin, directly on the Bitcoin ledger. This means "wrapped bitcoin" from insecure centralized "bridge" services, which have been hacked for billions of dollars, are no longer needed in DeFi and Web3. Say hello to 1-chain-is-many-chains!HTTPS OutcallsThe power of canister HTTPS outcalls on the Internet Computer is that it allows smart contracts to directly connect to the Web 2.0 world, opening up a plethora of use cases. Retrieve market data from crypto exchanges, send emails, integrate with other blockchains, and more.<h3>Meet the VCs</h3>Bochsler FinanceBochsler Finance is a Swiss-based asset manager specializing in the blockchain industry and decentralized finance.
