Is it just hot air? Some big claims... I want someone to try and scale it til it breaks haha“ Internet Computer is a digital token that runs on its own proprietary protocol called Internet Computer Protocol, which is supposed to let anyone build software or publish content on the Internet without using services from big companies like Amazon, Google, or Facebook. The protocol, according to Dfinity founder Dominic Williams, provides a “hackproof platform,” reduces costs “dramatically,” and is interoperable. He also says that the protocol is intended to make the Internet “fun again,” by allowing people to build a “new open Internet” and give users a “better deal.”The idea is similar to other blockchain cryptocurrencies that use smart contracts, or computer codes that serve as a kind of agreement between parties, to exchange currencies.”
