Dfinity

The DFINITY Foundation is a nonprofit organization that develops the Internet Computer, a public blockchain network designed to host smart contracts. It is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and operates research centers in Palo Alto, San Francisco, Shanghai and Zurich. ICP is the native cryptocurrency of the platform.

The DFINITY Foundation’s mission is to build, promote, and maintain the Internet Computer — the world’s first web-speed, internet-scale public blockchain. It enables smart contracts to securely serve interactive web content directly into the browsers of end users, making it possible to build dapps, DeFi, open internet services, and enterprise systems that are capable of operating at hyperscale.
