Welcome!
This is the wiki for the Internet Computer (IC), the world's fastest and most powerful blockchain network[1]. The goal of the wiki is to be a general source of information for and by the IC community. Topics can range as varied as cryptography, governance of the network, user experience, tokenomics, or developer-facing tutorials.
Introduction to the Internet Computer
The Internet computer is the fastest and most scalable general-purpose blockchain. It was launched by DFINITY in May 2021 and works towards realising a blockchain singularity by hosting dapps, content, and performing computation for billions of users. In building the Internet Computer there have been a number of notable technological developments in cryptography (chain-key cryptography), programming languages (Motoko) and others.
Most common place to start
For general audience
For more technical audience
For Dapp Users
If you use or are interested in using dapps on the Internet Computer, this section will help you understand the user experience benefits of the IC, how to use Internet Identity, or find more IC dapps.
- Introduction to the Internet Computer for dapp users
- Index of dapps on the Internet Computer
- Internet Identity for dapp users
See more in Internet Computer for dapp users
For ICP Token-holders, Investors and Neuron Holders
The Internet Computer is governed by on-chain governance system called the Network Nervous System (NNS). To participate on governance, users need to stake ICP tokens. This section will explain how the NNS works, ICP tokens, staking, voting, rewards, and options for managing one's ICP.
- ICP token
- Managing ICP holdings
- Staking, voting and rewards
- Governance of the Internet Computer
- Network Nervous System
See more in Internet Computer token-holders, investors and neuron holders.
For Smart Contract and Dapp Developers
The Internet Computer (IC) is a new platform for executing smart contracts. This section contains information for developers such as links to documentation, developer forums, and relevant dashboards.
- Canisters (dapps/smart contracts)
- Internet Identity technical overview
- Developer documentation on smartcontract.org
- IC community developer forum
- Index of libraries for Internet Computer development
- Best practices for a high traffic dapp launch
- Bitcoin integration
See more in Internet Computer for smart contract and dapp developers.
For the Curious, Researchers and Blockchain Enthusiasts
This section is for those interested on how the Internet Computer works under the hood. This section touches many different subject areas from cryptography, consensus protocols, virtual machines, operating systems, networking, distributed systems, etc.
- How the Internet Computer Works
- Internet Computer dashboard
- Internet Computer performance
- DFINITY Foundation
- Bitcoin integration
See more in Internet Computer for researchers and blockchain enthusiasts.
FAQs, Tutorials, and How-tos
Tutorials are guided introductions to user stories, intended for first-time users and characterized by a shallow learning curve. How-Tos are step-by-step instructions for specific, narrow goals.
