About Internet Computer (ICP)
Internet Computer (ICP) was launched in May 2021 by the DFINITY Foundation, founded by Dominic Williams in 2016 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. DFINITY raised hundreds of millions of dollars from venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital before mainnet. The Internet Computer aims to host entire web applications fully on-chain with web-speed performance and reverse-gas (where applications pay gas, not users). ICP token holders participate in the Network Nervous System (NNS), the on-chain governance and tokenomics protocol.
Internet Computer Technology
The Internet Computer uses a unique Threshold Relay consensus combined with Chain Key cryptography that enables sub-second finality and HTTP-speed responses. The network is divided into many subnets, each running a parallel blockchain with its own validators (called "node providers"). Canisters are the IC equivalent of smart contracts but can serve HTTP responses directly, enabling fully on-chain websites and applications. Chain Key technology gives the IC the ability to natively sign transactions on Bitcoin and Ethereum without bridges.
What Moves the ICP Price
ICP has experienced significant volatility, peaking near $700 shortly after launch in May 2021 before declining significantly. Daily spot volume on Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit typically ranges from $50-150 million. Key drivers include ICP-Bitcoin integration developments, Caffeine AI announcements, governance proposal outcomes (especially around node provider rewards), and broader narrative around fully on-chain applications.

What can the Internet Computer host that other chains cannot?
The Internet Computer can host entire web applications including frontends, backends, and databases fully on-chain, serving HTTP requests directly from canister smart contracts. This enables truly serverless decentralized applications without relying on traditional cloud infrastructure for any component.
What is Chain Key cryptography?
Chain Key is a threshold-cryptography system that lets the Internet Computer's decentralized validator network jointly sign transactions on other blockchains. ICP smart contracts can hold and transact native BTC or ETH directly without using bridges, eliminating bridge custody risk.
Who runs Internet Computer nodes?
ICP nodes are run by approved node providers who must purchase specific hardware, host it in compliant data centers, and pass governance approval through the Network Nervous System. This makes ICP more centralized than Ethereum or Bitcoin but enables higher performance and predictable hardware standards.
