How the Internet Computer Protocol strategically expanded into South Asia, delivering faster performance and enhanced network resilience for the next generation of decentralized applications.
The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is one of the most advanced decentralized networks, designed to run smart contracts and applications at web speed, on-chain. Its success relies on a globally distributed infrastructure that can deliver high availability, strong resilience, and low-latency performance for developers and users worldwide.
As adoption accelerates, ICP has strategically expanded into South Asia, a region with one of the fastest-growing digital populations. This expansion strengthens the network's global coverage and ensures responsive performance for millions of potential users.
To scale effectively, ICP needed to address:
South Asia users often faced higher response times due to reliance on long-haul routing.
Overconcentration in certain regions creates operational risk.
Application performance directly influences developer confidence in choosing ICP.
