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: the Internet Computer #ICP

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.
