Canister Smart Contracts

Canisters are smart contracts that scale — interoperable compute units that bundle code and state, designed for internet-scale services. A dapp on the Internet Computer can be composed of one or more canisters. Some of a dapp's canisters may provide web interfaces that users can access through their browser. Canisters are the building blocks of the Internet Computer.
