Internet Computer (ICP) is a utility token that allows users to participate in and govern the Internet Computer blockchain network. The network aims to help developers create websites, enterprise IT systems, internet services, and DeFi applications by "installing their code directly on the public Internet." ICP can also be staked or "converted into cycles" that can be used to power computation for dApps and traditional applications.

Internet Computer (ICP) is a set of protocols that allow independent data centers worldwide to band together. ICP's basic idea is to create a new kind of decentralized Internet and global computing system — where independent data centers all over the world could join together to create an alternative to the cloud services (from companies like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud) that power most of the current Internet. Its innovative design and vision position the Internet Computer as a scalable and efficient platform for building almost any online system or service, including demanding web applications, without the need for traditional IT infrastructure. The Internet Computer has also launched its own token, the ICP token, which is used for governance (holders can vote on the future of the network), to reward network participants for good behavior, and to pay fees for making transactions. Originally called DFINITY, ICP's global and distributed network of data centers can run most of the applications that are accessible via traditional Internet standards, such as DNS (the domain name system you use via web browsers and smartphones).
The Internet Computer works by running canister smart contracts on a network of node machines. These node machines are connected using the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), which enables them to communicate and coordinate their actions. As explained in the MIT Technology Review's profile of the Internet Computer: "Instead of running on a dedicated server in Google Cloud, for example, the software would have no fixed physical address, moving between servers owned by independent data centers around the world." You can think of ICP as a way of converting crypto into processing power — the network will establish a fee based on the amount of computing power required by a developer's project. The website will run on the public Internet as long as the fee is paid. Finally, the Internet Computer network is controlled and managed by a master subnet, which runs an advanced permissionless Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) called the Network Nervous System (NNS). This system instructs the node machines how to structure the network and verifies that the instructions they have received are genuine.
