The Internet Computer, whose token is ICP, is a blockchain built by the DFINITY Foundation with an unusually ambitious goal: to host ordinary web applications directly on-chain. On most networks a blockchain stores balances and small programs, while the actual website and heavy computation live on traditional cloud servers. The Internet Computer tries to move that whole stack onto a decentralized network, so a running app — front end included — can be served straight from the blockchain to your browser. It launched its mainnet in May 2021 after several years of research. This guide explains the core ideas in everyday language.
