Summary

As a blockchain protocol, decentralization is very important to the design and implementation of ICP. This article is one of a subset explaining the design intent and the current state of the world when it comes to ICP decentralization. Its main focus is analyzing critical dapps on ICP. To see the whole picture, it is recommended to see the following articles:

Background

There are dapps in the IC ecosystem which are critical to the overall community experience and which can be seen as common goods. Many of these are controlled by DAOs of their own. It is important to understand which these are and how decentralized they are.

Critical “Common Good” Dapps

The following smart contracts are not part of the protocol (as opposed to NNS Canisters which are part of the protocol), but they are commonly used by the community as common goods for the ICP community:

Internet identity

Code

Canister

Governance

Infrastructure decentralization

NNS Frontend dapp

Code

Canister

Governance

Infrastructure decentralization
