The DFINITY Foundation has unveiled a significant new white paper that aims to reshape the economic landscape of the Internet Computer. Titled 'Mission 70 and Accelerating the Internet Computer Economy', the document outlines a strategic plan to drastically reduce the inflation rate of the ICP token over the next few years. The document provides a justification for the fact that these changes are essential for the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem.
Introduction to the White Paper
Authored by DFINITY founder Dominic Williams, the white paper presents a detailed approach to modifying tokenomics and infrastructure rewards, moving away from vague aspirations to actionable strategies. The foundation's goal is to align token inflation with the network's growth and real economic activity, ensuring a sustainable future for the ICP token.
Proposed Changes and Their Impact
The proposed changes are ambitious, targeting a reduction in inflation from 9.72% in January 2026 to just 2.92% by the end of that year. This shift is expected to not only stabilize the token's value but also foster a more robust and mature Internet Computer economy, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved.
Recently, DFINITY introduced its Mission 70 white paper, which outlines essential changes to its governance and economic model, contrasting with the recent proposals for tokenomics adjustments in the DFINITY Foundation's latest release. For more details, see voting rewards.
