Internet Computer xarid qiling.

Internet Computer (ICP) is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain designed to extend the public internet’s capabilities by hosting backend software, smart contracts, and web applications directly on-chain. Developed by the DFINITY Foundation, it enables developers to build and deploy dApps at internet scale, without relying on centralized cloud services or traditional servers.

Unlike most blockchains that focus solely on financial transactions or smart contract logic, Internet Computer supports full-stack applications running entirely on-chain. This includes dynamic websites, APIs, enterprise systems, and open internet services, making it one of the most ambitious projects aiming to reshape how the internet functions.

The ICP token fuels the network’s operations. It’s used to pay for computational resources, secure the network through staking, and participate in the governance of the Internet Computer ecosystem. Token holders can lock ICP in the Network Nervous System (NNS) to submit and vote on proposals that shape protocol upgrades and ecosystem growth.

ICP trades at $3.21, with a market capitalization of $1,759,011,212. The token reached its all-time high of $700.65 on May 10, 2021. There are 546,190,384.57 ICP tokens in circulation, from a total supply of 546,190,537.62, with a maximum capped at .
