Dfinity has created a project called ‘The Internet Computer’ which is a decentralized and non-proprietary network that developers can use as an alternative to proprietary platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominic Williams<\/a>, founder and chief scientist at Dfinity, said that<\/a> “big tech has hijacked the internet and stifled innovation by owning the proprietary infrastructure and user relationships. As a result, a handful of for-profit companies have created a monopolistic and closed internet. The Internet Computer provides a means to rebuild internet services in open form. The Internet Computer is conceived as an alternative to the $3.8 trillion legacy IT stack, and empowers the next generation of developers to build a new breed of tamper-proof enterprise software systems and open internet services. We are democratizing software development.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Internet Computer uses a serverless architecture that allows software and services to be natively hosted without the need to use proprietary cloud services. It uses a programming language called Motoko<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for Dfinity said that<\/a> “while DFINITY is not building a traditional blockchain\/smart contract platform, it uses advanced cryptography in its consensus layer [of the Internet Computer stack] to ensure apps and workloads have the same security guarantees as Bitcoin or Ethereum, but its network of independent data centers ensures the speed and scale required by corporates and entrepreneurs.”<\/p>\n
