The First Real World Computer: The Internet Computer Blockchain
summary
Claims that the Internet Computer can serve HTTP from smart contracts and store the conference deck on-chain for about $0.04/year, while the same file would cost roughly $800/year on Solana and ~$500,000/year on Ethereum. Network reports ~0.5 billion transactions/day (10x other chains), native chain key transactions enable Bitcoin and Ethereum asset ops without bridges, and apps like OpenChat run fully on-chain. Governance is a permissionless Network Nervous System DAO that auto-applies upgrades; the network runs on sovereign hardware using proof of useful work.
