# Internet Computer (ICP) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/icp.html

## Definition
The Internet Computer is a blockchain network designed to host software and services fully onchain, a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native asset of the Internet Computer — converted to cycles (burned) for computation, staked in the NNS for governance; holder owns the token itself. Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Fuel for the Internet Computer — pays for computation that runs on-chain.

## Key risks & notes
The official PDF could not be opened directly during this pass; the summary is grounded in the DFINITY whitepaper's published content. DFINITY retains significant influence, the architecture has a steep learning curve, the token launch was volatile, and ICP competes with every major smart-contract platform.
