The Internet Computer (ICP) is a project aiming to create a decentralized internet. It wants to shift away from centralized control by hosting applications and data on a global network of independent computers. ICP uses smart contracts, has its own ICP token for governance, rewards, and fees, and is developed by the DFINITY Foundation. Key goals include reducing Big Tech reliance, enhancing security and privacy, and fostering innovation.
