The DFINITY Foundation, the team behind the Internet Computer, announced on Twitter a few hours ago that Supernova is set to launch on May 10. Supernova will be the first global Internet Computer hackathon.
The Internet Computer is a layer-1 protocol that is developed by the DFINITY Foundation and aims to become a blockchain network that evolves the internet. This ‘internet computer’ intends to ‘extend the functionality of the public internet so that it can host backend software’ on a smart-contract compatible, distributed network.
Internet Computer’s ICP has added more than 3% so far today and is trading at $21.55 at press time.
