The DFINITY Foundation has unveiled a significant white paper that outlines a strategic plan to drastically reduce the inflation of its ICP token. Titled 'Mission 70 and Accelerating the Internet Computer Economy', this document is set to reshape the economic landscape of the Internet Computer by the end of 2026. Based on the data provided in the document, the foundation aims to implement measures that will enhance the token's stability and utility.
Introduction to the White Paper
Authored by DFINITY founder Dominic Williams and published on January 13, 2026, the white paper presents a comprehensive approach to tokenomics. It emphasizes specific changes in infrastructure rewards and on-chain usage, moving away from vague aspirations to actionable strategies aimed at stabilizing the token's value.
Rebalancing the Economic Model
The initiative is designed to rebalance the economic model of the Internet Computer as it evolves from its initial bootstrapping phase. With a target of reducing inflation by at least 70%, the DFINITY Foundation anticipates a significant decline in inflation rates over the coming years, which could enhance the overall health and sustainability of the network.
The recent unveiling of the DFINITY Foundation's white paper on reducing ICP token inflation coincides with growing community support for the IIP617 proposal. This proposal emphasizes token scarcity, which has resonated well with users. For more details, see community sentiment.
