The Internet Computer (ICP) is a Layer‑1 that runs WebAssembly ‘canisters’ directly on chain, with sub‑second query calls and 2‑second update finality. Boundary nodes translate HTTP requests into signed chain queries, enabling dApps to serve web front‑ends without traditional servers. ICP’s reverse GAS model bills cycles in stable dollar terms, shielding developers from token volatility.
Polygon PoS combines Plasma checkpoints with a Proof‑of‑Stake validator set, supplying low‑fee EVM smart contracts. The Polygon 2.0 roadmap introduces Aggregation Layer and.zk‑powered chains (CDK) that will share a unified POL staking token. Partnerships with Starbucks Odyssey and DraftKings underline its consumer‑brand strategy.
