Internet Computer Unleashes New Era of Speed, Developer Ease, and Onchain Storage with Major UpgradesTokamak, Beryllium and Stellarator milestones have massively reduced ICP’s latency, introduced a number of Quality-of-Life features for developers, and revolutionized onchain data storage capabilities.The DFINITY Foundation, a major contributor to the Internet Computer (ICP), announces the launch of three transformative upgrades — Tokamak, Beryllium, and Stellarator — designed to make 100% onchain blockchain applications extremely responsive, more scalable, and developer-friendly. These milestones advance ICP’s position as a leading platform for decentralized applications by slashing transaction latency, enhancing developer tools, and enabling vast on-chain data storage.These upgrades are set to address some of the most pressing challenges in the blockchain space: high latency, limited developer support, and restricted on-chain storage. Here’s how:Tokamak: This upgrade dramatically reduces network latency, improving transaction speeds to levels previously seen only in traditional finance. With subnets now achieving speeds of over 2.5 blocks per second, users and developers can experience a more responsive network — an essential step toward Web3 mass adoption.Beryllium: Developers now have access to powerful new tools to streamline their workflows. With canister snapshots for data security, enhanced logging for visibility, and detailed backtraces, ICP empowers developers to build, troubleshoot, and deploy apps with ease and confidence.Stellarator: A breakthrough in on-chain data storage, Stellarator enables each subnet to host over 1TB of memory per canister, unlocking opportunities for data-rich applications previously limited by storage constraints. This advancement allows developers to build sophisticated applications requiring large-scale data processing, bringing a new level of utility to blockchain technology.“These three milestones are a great advancement of the Internet Computer Protocol.” said Jan Camenisch, CTO & Cryptographer at DFINITY. “By cutting latency to about half, increasing throughput, and increasing storage even more, we have enabled developers to build a much broader range of applications fully onchain. We have widened the gap to all other protocols even further and we’ve also made the life of developers much easier and simpler with the new protocol capabilities around canister treatment.”With these enhancements, ICP aims to position itself as the preferred choice for developers looking to build decentralized applications that require high performance, extensive data handling, and efficient tools. Each milestone — Tokamak’s speed, Beryllium’s developer features, and Stellarator’s expanded storage — offers real-world solutions for the next generation of blockchain projects.Internet Computer Unleashes New Era of Speed, Developer Ease, and Onchain Storage with Major… was originally published in The Internet Computer Review on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
