Introduction

ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) is a cryptocurrency associated with the Internet Computer project, developed by the Dfinity Foundation. The main goal of ICP is to create a decentralized platform that aims to transform the internet, allowing applications and services to run directly in the cloud, without relying on traditional servers or existing centralized infrastructure.
Unlike other blockchain platforms such as
or
, which have more limited models, the ICP aims to be a truly decentralized internet, where applications (called "smart contracts") can be executed autonomously, faster and at a lower cost. The project seeks greater scalability, security and accessibility, breaking down the barriers of the traditional internet and providing a more open and transparent future.
