The Internet Computer's tokenomics model is centered around two native tokens: cycles and ICP. The ICP token plays a critical role in the decentralized network governance and operation. Decentralized applications (dapps) running on the Internet Computer can also use a token-based governance, based on their own, application-specific token.
In this section, you will find articles describing:
- Tokenomics: the economic model of the Internet Computer, encompassing token creation, distribution, and usage that influence its value and overall ecosystem,
- Network Nervous Systems: onchain decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that governs the Internet Computer Protocol,
- Service Nervous System: framework for creating and maintaining DAOs to govern dapps on the Internet computer.
