Rising Star: The Global Distributed Computing Platform Dfinity is Coming Soon

Recently, the cryptocurrency market has heated up again, with Bitcoin breaking above the 64,000 USD mark, and various digital currencies rising. In this round of bull market, a project named ICP has garnered widespread attention, ranking third in market capitalization, only behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.

ICP is the token name of the Dfinity project. Dfinity started in 2015 and was once regarded as one of the "Four Kings" in the blockchain field, but its mainnet was delayed for a long time. After 6 years of development, Dfinity has shifted from its initial positioning as a sister chain of Ethereum to a grand vision dedicated to building a global distributed Internet computer system.

In 2021, with established projects such as Polkadot and FileCoin making progress, good news also came from Dfinity. The Mercury network is about to transition from Alpha to Beta, indicating that the Dfinity mainnet is expected to officially launch in the near future.

Dfinity aims to become one of the infrastructures in the Web3.0 ecosystem, developing in parallel with public chains like Ethereum to jointly create a new generation of the internet world. It is positioned as the "Internet Computer" ( Internet Computer Protocol, abbreviated as ICP ), which aims to provide an infinitely scalable blockchain network that supports large-scale application deployment and massive data storage.

Dfinity supports this grand vision through several key modules:

1. NNS( Neuron Network System ): As a decentralized governance system of ICP, it is jointly managed and decided by token holders.

2. Canister( Container): Similar to smart contracts, but easier to scale and combine, capable of supporting various applications.

3. Cycles( transaction fee): Developers need to exchange ICP tokens for Cycles to pay for application operating costs.

Several projects have already started in the Dfinity ecosystem, such as the decentralized social media Capsule and the Web3 hosting platform Fleek. With the mainnet about to launch, the attention of global developers and investors is focused on this.

The landing of Dfinity means that the infrastructure of the decentralized world is gradually improving. In the future, users are expected to enjoy decentralized applications that allow them to have control over their data, participate in governance, and share benefits. A user-centric new era is approaching, and we will see whether Dfinity can realize its vision of changing the world.
