1/ One of the many 🔥 features of the #InternetComputer is "certified variables."
As a user, how can you trust and confirm that you are really interacting with a public blockchain — opposed to centralized Web2 tech?🤔 medium.com/dfinity/how-in…
2/ Certified variables allows smart contracts on the #IC to export data so it can be validated in seconds… even offline 🤯
Web assets can be validated (HTML, JS, etc). Even a COVID passport can be validated via phone app. Chain Key cryptography magic.
3/ 👓 This article offers a technical explanation of how responses from canister smart contracts running on the Internet Computer can be certified as true. ✔️
1/ Upgrades in traditional blockchains can take months up to years, often requiring disruptive, divisive “hard forks” or centralized coordination amongst validators. medium.com/dfinity/upgrad…
2/ The #InternetComputer is the only modern blockchain that allows the community to vote via NNS DAO, and automatically self-upgrade.
3/ The #IC is also the only chain that directly serves interactive web content to users, and can be used to build websites, enterprise systems, mass-market internet services, pan-industry platforms, DeFi, and much more using smart contracts. 🛠️
#IC devs are building out the true metaverse 100% on-chain with zero corporate cloud front-ends or nodes 🚫☁️ – unlocking previously impossible Web3 projects.
🖼️ @ic_gallery - an interoperable 3D Metaverse blending GameFi and DeFi, where users can play, mint, and trade all their existing NFTs through various immersive 3D experiences on the #InternetComputer and #ETH.
🎨 @NFTStudioPoland - NFT Studio is the first to develop 3D NFTs. This means that the NFTs themselves are living 3D code, as opposed to a .GIF recording of a 3D rendered image. NFTs are being released as full games playable in a wallet, as well as other innovations.
1/ In early 2021, WhatsApp announced an updated privacy policy requiring users to accept that their account details, phone number, metadata, financial transactions, log reports, location, device identifiers, and IP addresses will be shared with Facebook. medium.com/dfinity/opench…
2/ Users were told to accept the new policy or risk losing access to their account. Amid the ensuing controversy, the ultimatum changed: if users don’t comply, the messaging app will now gradually degrade in service until it stops operating entirely.
3/ This is why 2 UK-based IC developers are building OpenChat, a decentralized messaging service that functions much like existing messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal, with a key difference being that OpenChat runs end-to-end on a blockchain, the #InternetComputer.
