Primer to the Internet Computer

The DFINITY Foundation was created to extend the functionality of the public internet to become the primary computing platform on which humanity builds its information systems. A team composed of many of the world’s top cryptographers, computer scientists, and engineers has developed the Internet Computer as an advanced, novel blockchain network that eliminates the need for legacy technologies such as cloud services, databases, and firewalls. The Internet Computer ultimately allows entrepreneurs and developers to reimagine both how and what they build — a paradigm shift that will change everything.
