It enables you to build web applications and internet services using a 100% decentralized platform without Big Tech and traditional IT. While traditional blockchains struggle to store a single phone photo onchain, ICP already hosts social networks, multiple ledgers, AI and much more, fully onchain.** It was carefully designed to give smart contracts near native performance and scalability while maintaining the security of decentralized execution. In addition to classical DeFi smart contracts, such as ledgers and exchanges, ICP can run compute- and storage-heavy applications such as [image classification](https://github.com/dfinity/examples/tree/master/rust/image-classification) fully onchain. @@ -316,4 +316,4 @@ Currently, subnets contain between 13 and 40 nodes, and most of them are geograp - \ No newline at end of file +
