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.
Tezos is a self‑amending Proof‑of‑Stake Layer‑1 that supports on‑chain governance, letting token holders adopt protocol upgrades without hard forks. Its latest ‘Mumbai’ upgrade activated Smart Rollups, allowing scalable L2s written in Rust and Wasm to inherit Tezos security. Tezos processes ~1 million contract calls daily and is popular for compliant tokenisation of securities in Europe.
