Internet Computer (ICP) is one of the most ambitious projects in the blockchain field, with the core goal of reconstructing the underlying architecture of the internet. Unlike traditional blockchains that mainly focus on financial applications, ICP attempts to directly replace centralized cloud computing services (such as AWS, Google Cloud), allowing developers to run complete Web applications on the chain, including front end, back end, and data storage.
On a technical level, ICP achieves high throughput and extremely low latency through an innovative consensus mechanism and on-chain subnet architecture, significantly enhancing user experience. The ICP token is not only used to pay for computing power (Cycles) but also plays a key role in the governance system, where token holders can participate in network decisions through the Neural Network System (NNS). Although ICP has experienced significant price fluctuations, its technological depth, ecological expansion capabilities, and potential for integration with the traditional internet still give it important strategic value in the long-term decentralized infrastructure arena.
