Why did Yumi choose the IC blockchain?

Low storage cost

IC has become the storage platform of choice for many projects due to its low storage cost ($5 per 1GB per year) in contrast to $240 million on Ethereum and nearly $1 million on Solana. This infrastructure is a big step towards a green and sustainable future.

Free minting & reverse gas model

Developers supply the funds needed to run the applications, which means zero gas/minting fee for users. The gas, known as “cycles”, is stable as 1x1012cycles=1SDR (US$ 1.41).

High performance

Ultra-high-speed IC nodes are run by the most powerful independent data centres around the world, boasting 250-millisecond query and 2-second writes/updates.

Unlimited scalability

IC can scale infinitely through the seamless generation of new subnets without any interruption of the network. Internet Computer can automatically generate new subnets according to the network load. Neurons participating in NNS can initiate expansion proposals according to the current network load to balance the load of the entire network making it possible to build massive applications on the blockchain.

Full Decentralization

Internet Computer is a full-stack solution for dApp development on Web3. Users can access smart contracts on the IC blockchain directly through a browser or mobile app without going through any centralized web pages and servers, therefore developers no longer need to create websites on AWS and Alibaba Cloud. Therefore, dApps running on IC are fully decentralized (including front-end).
