What is $ICP? The “world computer.” It wants to replace AWS. Most decentralised apps still run on Amazon. So what is ICP, the Internet Computer? Because it’s trying to do something different. Most blockchains are about transactions and finance. $ICP’s ambition is way bigger. It wants to be a decentralised world computer that replaces the big centralised cloud providers, like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. Here’s the thing most people don’t realise. Loads of “decentralised” apps still secretly run their website and their backend on Amazon’s servers. So there’s still a central company in the middle that could pull the plug. ICP’s whole pitch is running the entire app, the website, the logic, the data, all of it, directly on the blockchain, served straight to your browser. It does this with things it calls canisters, which are basically smart contracts that hold a whole app inside them. What’s cool is that users don’t need a wallet or pay any gas. An ICP app just feels like a normal website, because the developer covers the costs behind the scenes. Now, to be fair, ICP’s got huge ambition and serious tech, but real everyday usage is still pretty thin compared to that massive vision. So do you think they will be able to pull it off?
