What are the unique ICP technical building blocks enabling the creation of OISY?
Chain-key signatures: the world's best threshold ECDSA signature (only available on ICP) enables smart contracts to perform cryptographic signatures without a single entity having full access to the private key. Read more about or start building based on .
Internet Identity (II): based on ICP's threshold BLS signature schemes and WebAuthn, Internet Identity (II) is an authentication and key management system with strong privacy and security guarantees. Using , users can conveniently create secure sessions with their fingerprint or other biometric identifiers. Read more about or into your canister smart contract.
Web applications served from chain: ICP is not only designed to run backends, such as ledgers, on chain, its low storage cost and low latency allow it to serve frontends, such as HTML files and images, from chain, too. Read more about or directly start .
(Upcoming) HTTP outcalls: for now, OISY calls centralized Ethereum endpoints, such as Infura or Alchemy, from the frontend. In the future, OISY might be improved to use to call these endpoints in a decentralized fashion. Check out the to explore how to use Web 2.0 services on ICP.
