Chain-Key Technology is central to Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) and represents a fundamental innovation that distinguishes it from other blockchains. Here’s a breakdown of what it is, how it makes ICP uniquely decentralized, and why other blockchains may be resistant or critical of the concept.

What is Chain-Key Technology?

Chain-Key Technology allows ICP to operate a decentralized blockchain using private and secure cryptographic keys, enabling the protocol to run seamlessly at web speed and handle an immense number of transactions efficiently.
