Internet Computer (ICP) live price dashboard
The Internet Computer is a blockchain built by the DFINITY Foundation, founded by Dominic Williams, and it went live in May 2021. This board puts ICP beside BTC and ETH with 7-day and 30-day candles.
What is Internet Computer?
The Internet Computer is a blockchain built by the DFINITY Foundation, founded by Dominic Williams, and it went live in May 2021. Its smart contracts, called canisters, can serve web pages and store data on-chain, and chain-key cryptography lets it sign transactions on Bitcoin and Ethereum. ICP is staked in the Network Nervous System for governance and burned into cycles to pay for compute.
Since May 10, 2021 the network has flipped the usual gas model: canisters pay for their own compute with cycles, so people using an app need neither a wallet nor gas.
Cycles have a fixed price. One trillion cycles cost 1 XDR, the IMF special drawing right, which was about 1.37 dollars in May 2026. Developers convert ICP into cycles and that ICP is burned. New ICP is minted as voting rewards for staked neurons and as payments to node providers. Since genesis, minting has beaten burning, and inflation sat near 9.7% in early 2026.
That gap is what Mission 70 goes after. DFINITY published the plan in January 2026 with a goal of cutting inflation by at least 70% by the end of the year, and the NNS approved the reward cuts. The demand side of the bet is Caffeine, the AI app builder that went into alpha in July 2025 and runs its apps on ICP. No one knows yet whether usage will grow fast enough to matter.

What do traders watch on ICP?
- The cycle burn rate, the cleanest read on real usage.
- Whether Mission 70 cuts inflation as far as promised by the end of 2026.
- Caffeine adoption, since every app it builds burns cycles.

Frequently asked questions
What are cycles on the Internet Computer?
Cycles are the fuel canisters burn to pay for compute and storage. They are made by burning ICP, and their price is pegged so that 1 trillion cycles cost 1 XDR, which keeps developer costs stable when the ICP price moves.
Does ICP have a max supply?
No. New ICP is minted as governance rewards and node provider payments, and ICP is burned when it is converted to cycles. Net inflation depends on the balance between the two, which Mission 70 is trying to shift.
Can I track ICP without an account?
Yes. The ICP board on this page runs in your browser and saves on your device. Prices come from CoinGecko. Cashboard does not read Internet Computer wallets, so add your amount to a manual Portfolio and it is priced live.
