Internet Computer now 3x faster than Solana ?!? @Dfinity's Internet Computer is by far the fastest blockchain in terms of TPS. Over the past week, $ICP has averaged a staggering 5,358 tx/s. More than 5x that of @Solana's 1,738 tx/s in the period. Data: @chainspect_app

Internet Computer’s Fully On-Chain Exchange Gets Closer to Launch @Dfinity founder Dominic Williams (@dominic_w) has announced a major milestone for MULTI/DEX. A live play-mode simulation of what the foundation calls the first 100% on-chain, open-source central limit order book exchange is active. Built natively on the Internet Computer $ICP, the app runs its matching engine, AMMs, margin trading, asset vaults, and even the user interface entirely within autonomous smart contracts. ICP's Network Nervous System governs it strictly. The launch isn't here yet, but the finish line is getting closer.

Internet Computer from @dfinity recorded about 2,323 transactions per second over the past week, ahead of @solana at 1,896, according to Chainspect, and $ICP now leads as the fastest chain. Full BSCN Daily episode:

Internet Computer flips Solana to become crypto's fastest chain. Despite @Solana holding the top spot for several weeks, @dfinity was the fastest chain in crypto over the past week, recording some 2,323 tx/s. $ICP's figure sat well ahead of $SOL's for the period, which saw only 1,896 tx/s. The data comes from @chainspect_app's scalability dashboard.

Internet Computer uses a reverse-gas model: developers preload smart contracts, called canisters, with cycles, so end users pay no transaction fees. Cycles come from converting $ICP, which burns the token. @dfinity launched the token on May 10, 2021.

Internet Computer outpaces all networks by transaction count. @dfinity's Internet Computer has now processed a frankly insane 306 BILLION transactions as of the latest data. As far as we know, there is no blockchain that comes even close to this figure, with even hyper-scalable L1 networks like @SuiNetwork boasting counts of only the single-digit billions. Does anyone know what all these $ICP transactions actually are?!

Internet Computer Receives Initial Green Light From ICANN To Launch Sovereign ICP Domain Internet Computer (@dfinity) passes the initial review stage set by @ICANN for the .icp generic top-level domain (gTLD), moving the application toward inclusion on the 2026 global sunrise registry candidate list. This process creates an immediate link between the DNS root structure and end-to-end decentralized smart contract technology running on the Internet Computer network. In due course, the .icp domain will connect browser traffic directly to smart contracts and decentralized computing platforms, without needing intermediary corporate website hosting or central domain registration services.

Internet Computer Protocol is printing serious cash The Internet Computer Protocol (@Dfinity) has generated $85,089 over the past 7 days. This reflects the continued rise in the protocol's revenue, driven by growing use of its computational infrastructure. The data is supported by the rising value generated by decentralized apps and agentic services in the ecosystem.

Internet Computer just hit 300 BILLION transactions. @dfinity's Internet Computer just crossed the 300B total transaction level, making ICP one of (if not the) most used networks in the entire industry. ICP is also crypto's 7th most decentralised network, with a Nakamoto Coefficient of 14.

Internet Computer upgrades its subnets one at a time instead of all at once Upgrading @dfinity's Internet Computer takes two kinds of votes: onchain governance first elects a new software version into the approved list, then separate proposals move each subnet onto it. Subnets, the groups of node machines that each run a slice of the network, upgrade on their own schedules. Different subnets can run different versions at the same time. When a subnet's turn comes, its nodes agree on a block height where the handover happens. The old version computes everything through that block, and the new version takes over at the next one. State crosses between the two via a catch-up package, a signed snapshot that the new software resumes from, per Internet Computer documentation.
