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

If you come to learn about the Internet Computer, this is a good place to start.

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.

Examples:

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, and options for managing one's ICP.

Examples:

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.

Examples:

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..

Examples:

See more in Internet Computer for researchers and blockchain enthusiasts.

FAQs, Tutorials, and How To's

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.
