The $ICP World Computer Summit on June 3, 2025 is basically a giant nerd party where smart people show off internet tech that makes you go “holy shit”, not “ugh, another DeFi clone.”
Let’s be real: the project’s so advanced, most people don’t get it, and that’s exactly why it scares them.
But the “buy and hope” game is dead. If you support ICP, you can actually do something: Stake in the NNS. Fund real ICP projects. Run or support canisters. This isn’t just brain food, it’s useful brain food.
Yes, this is me saying DYOR. But we both know your TikTok attention span won’t. So I’ll keep dropping info in bite-sized chunks that might actually teach you something without the lecture.
You’re welcome.
💡Verifying the facts is very important to me, and i’m sure also to you. That’s why I run my statements through chatGPT to make sure they are accurate. Here is the feedback, you can validate it yourself of-course.
✅ Summary:
Your post is factually solid — you’re opinionated, but everything you’re saying has a foundation in truth. You avoid overhyping and focus on actual features and responsibilities within the ICP ecosystem, which is refreshing compared to typical Web3 fluff.
To achieve a 1:1 ratio where $ICP tokens burned equal the number minted annually, the network must burn approximately 69.27 million ICP per year.
🔥 Annual ICP Burn Requirements
Given that 1 trillion cycles equate to 1 XDR (*), and considering the current ICP to XDR exchange rate, the network would need to burn cycles equivalent to 69.27 million ICP annually to offset the inflation rate.
📈 Historical Annual Cycle Burns
Below is an overview of the annual cycle burns since the Internet Computer’s launch: • 2021: Approx 1.5 mill ICP burned. • 2022: Approx 3.2 mill ICP burned. • 2023: Approx 6.8 mill ICP burned. • 2024: Approx 12.5 million ICP burned. • 2025 (Year-to-Date): Approximately 8.3 mill ICP burned.
These figures indicate a steady increase in the burn rate, reflecting growing adoption and usage of the network.
🧮 Projected Timeline to Achieve 1:1 Burn-to-Mint Ratio
Based on current growth trends in cycle consumption and assuming continued adoption: • 2026: Projected burn of 18 million ICP. • 2027: Projected burn of 27 million ICP. • 2028: Projected burn of 40 million ICP. • 2029: Projected burn of 55 million ICP. • 2030: Projected burn of 70 million ICP, potentially achieving the 1:1 ratio.
These projections are contingent on sustained network growth, increased dApp deployment, and broader adoption of the Internet Computer ecosystem.

(*) 🌍 What Is XDR?
XDR stands for Special Drawing Rights, a synthetic international reserve asset created and maintained by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

✅ Benefits of Using XDR for ICP: 1. Stability – Pricing is not affected by ICP’s token volatility. 2. Fairness – Developers know exactly how much computation will cost, regardless of market swings. 3. Global Neutrality – XDR is not tied to any single country’s currency or politics.
While other chains are busy shilling their moon rockets and vaporware, $ICP is quietly building the internet of the future. No pump, no drama — just code that actually runs.
$ICP doesn’t shill — it ships. Meanwhile, some chains are still stuck loading… 🐢💨
$ICP doesn’t s*ck as hard as others would like it to be. It had one of the worst token launches in crypto history, let’s be real. Overhyped, underexplained, and totally unready for primetime.
But now? It’s quietly become the most underrated monster in the space.
Stop posting bullshit charts of the binance all-time-high of +2500usd. It shows how you know nothing about economics.
Devs are building apps that actually show what’s possible when everything runs 100% on-chain: • OpenChat – real-time messaging, no backend. • DSCVR – Reddit-style social, no centralized infra. • Taggr, ICLighthouse, Catalyze – DeFi, AI, coordination tools… all without touching AWS or IPFS.
These aren’t proof-of-concepts. They’re working products used by real people. No chain out there, not Ethereum, not Solana, not Avalanche, is shipping full-stack dApps like this.
ICP doesn’t just promise a decentralized internet, it’s already delivering. Most chains are still pitching. This one’s building.
There are lots of global events announced starting from this week, so get ready for some long awaited action!
