Background
The infrastructure layer of ICP is best summarized as:
- ICP is composed of subnets
- Each subnet is composed of nodes (owned and controlled by node providers), which are remunerated in ICP by the network minting ICP
- Each node lives in an independent data center (not cloud providers), which the node provider pays to upkeep and maintain. An example of data centers include Equinix in Spain.
