DFINITY Foundation Adjusts Internet Computer Economic Model to Allocate 80% of Cloud Engine Revenue to Nodes

ChainCatcher report: The DFINITY Foundation has announced on X a revision to the Internet Computer (ICP) economic model. Under the new framework, the previous model—where nodes received fixed rewards solely for operation—will be updated: 80% of revenue generated by cloud engines will be distributed to nodes providing computational resources, while 20% will be used to burn ICP tokens. The official statement notes that multiple node provider associations have already begun promoting cloud engine services based on the Internet Computer to enterprises in the European market, aiming to expand enterprise-grade use cases. This adjustment is seen as aligning node incentives more closely with actual business revenue while enhancing ICP’s token value capture through the burn mechanism.
