$ICP
🚨 Internet Computer Works 🚨
ICP's version includes nodes that generate a random number known as a random beacon, used to choose the next set of nodes. This is what drives the platform's protocols. The tool is known as the threshold relay consensus model, and it is one of the primary components that make ICP.
The Internet Computer also employs what is known as chain key technology. Chain key technology divides the execution of smart contract functions into two halves. The first kind of call is 'update calls’, while the second is 'query calls’.
Calls contribute to providing competitive user experiences for blockchain. Update calls make persistent changes, and they cannot be tampered with since the Internet Computer Protocols run on every node in the subnet. Query calls work differently. They discard any changes made to memory when the programme has finished running. As a result, query calls perform in milliseconds. ICP is potentially an improvement in blockchain technology since it is faster and has more significant potential.
