Internet Computer (ICP) is a high-speed blockchain network that offers high scalability and flexibility to develop large-scale, commercial dApps. The Internet Computer Protocol was developed by the DFINITY Foundation, a Switzerland-based nonprofit organization that fosters its ecosystem and drives the technology's adoption.
ICP is the native token of the Internet Computer ecosystem and is one of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap. It catapulted into the top crypto list shortly after its launch as investors were excited about the potential of Internet Computer's technology and the project's impressive lineup of partners.
The Internet Computer mainnet launch occurred on 10 May 2021 and, since then, has deployed new features, making it an attractive ecosystem for dApp developers and users. Along with its highly scalable design, the Internet Computer protocol charges extremely low transaction fees, further supporting the deployment and operation of highly efficient decentralized applications.
