Internet Computer (ICP)

About Internet Computer

The Internet Computer (ICP) is a blockchain-based cloud platform designed to provide a sovereign, tamperproof, and always-on environment for AI agents and agentic organizations. It aims to solve the problem of centralized cloud providers having control over software and data, offering a decentralized alternative where code and data are protected by protocol and replicated across independent nodes. The platform uses advanced blockchain technology and cryptography to run entire software systems end-to-end, including websites, apps, services, data, payments, and governance. Computation on the network is paid for by converting ICP tokens into cycles, and ICP is also used for staking and governance through the Network Nervous System.
