A Technical Overview of the Internet Computer

DFINITY founder and chief scientist Dominic Williams provides a technical overview of how the Internet Computer works — from software canisters to subnets to machines/nodes to data centers. He also explains the role of the Network Nervous System in the governance of the Internet Computer, as well as how canisters — an evolution of smart contracts — can scale-out internet services to billions of users.

TUNGSTEN LAUNCH EVENT
The Tungsten release (aka “Developer Network”) is the first time DFINITY is giving third-party developers an opportunity to gain early access to the Internet Computer. To mark the occasion, the DFINITY Foundation hosted an online Tungsten launch event featuring discussions and demos from our research centers in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Zurich.
