T he Internet Computer is the world’s first fully adaptive blockchain. The Internet Computer network, and the special node machines that host the network, run under the full control of the Network Nervous System (NNS). The NNS is a decentralized tokenized governance system that is completely open. Anyone in the world can submit a proposal to the NNS, and if it is adopted, it is immediately executed, completely automatically, allowing the network to adapt and evolve in real time. The NNS can perform tasks such as upgrading node machines to update the protocol or apply security fixes, tweaking economic parameters, or forming new subnet blockchains to increase network capacity, at any time. It runs within...
