Our Mission
Our mission is to build The Internet Computer, thereby reinventing the Internet as a computer that hosts secure software with superpowers. The Internet Computer is a new technology stack that is tamper-proof, fast, scales to billions of users around the world, and supports a new kind of autonomous software that promises to reverse Big Tech’s monopolization of the internet. DFINITY was founded in 2016 by Dominic Williams.
DFINITY is building The Internet Computer — a new technology stack that reinvents the internet as a computer that hosts secure software and open internet services. Developers will use the Internet Computer, powered by a network of independent data centers, to create websites, enterprise IT systems, and open versions of today's most popular internet services. Most importantly, the Internet Computer provides a means to reverse Big Tech's increasing monopolization of internet services, user relationships and data, and restore the Internet to its permissionless, innovative and creative roots.
