UTOPIA is an acronym for “Unstoppable Tamperproof Open Platform for Independent Autonomy.”
UTOPIA cloud platforms can host serverless software that hackers cannot interact with in ways that allow them to change functionality, access private data, or install ransomware that encrypts software and data. This heralds a revolution in the way that enterprises and governments can build systems and services.
UTOPIA technology is based on ICP (Internet Computer Protocol), which currently powers the Internet Computer network. In over three years in production, the Internet Computer has never suffered an outage, or a hack, while hosting hundreds of applications and millions of users. This means that ICP technology has been battle-proven and hardened for powering a public network that runs in the most demanding threat environment possible.
