ICP · Smart-contract network
The latest available Internet Computer reference is $2.48 on ICP/USD at Coinbase Exchange. It is a read-only market observation, not an executable quote.
The native asset of a network designed to host software and services on-chain.
The Internet Computer network launched publicly in 2021 to run software across independently operated node machines.
Internet Computer appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its smart-contract network design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the ICP unit price alone.
The displayed ICP reference is the latest available observation from Coinbase Exchange for ICP/USD. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; Internet Computer has no single official global price.
An executable ICP order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. The market label above shows which currency or asset defines the observed price.
Check validator distribution and finality first, then separate base-layer behaviour from application, bridge, oracle, and contract risk.
Internet Computer uses a programmable base-layer network where validators order transactions and applications execute shared state.
For ICP, units enter circulation under the network's protocol schedule, while fees, staking, and possible burns affect the liquid supply.
Rule changes depend on the client teams, validators, token holders, foundations, and application ecosystem involved in that network.
The documented ICP role includes paying network fees, staking where supported, and interacting with applications.
For Internet Computer, material risks include validator concentration, client bugs, smart-contract failures, bridge risk, governance changes, and volatile demand for block space.
Confirm the current ICP software or contract, the supply mechanism, parties with upgrade or administrator authority, dependencies such as validators, issuers or bridges, and liquidity in the exact ICP/USD market. Leave any unsupported field unanswered instead of filling it with a market-cap ranking or social claim.
The Internet Computer network launched publicly in 2021 to run software across independently operated node machines.
Subnet blockchains use threshold cryptography and a governance system called the Network Nervous System to coordinate the network.
ICP combines compute, governance and token economics, making data-center participation and governance concentration important review areas.
Short answers to the things readers usually need before using a market number.
