The total supply of ICP is variable with both burning (deflationary) and minting (inflationary) mechanisms. The circulating supply of ICP is also affected by the unlocking of neurons from early contributors (seed round contributors are on multi-year vesting for example).

Total supply and circulating supply

The circulating supply is a changing number so its most recent number can seen in the IC dashboard.

At network Genesis

As of May 10, 2021:

  • Total supply: 429 Million
  • Circulating supply: 123 million

Current Status

As of February 23, 2022:

  • Total supply: 477 Million
  • Circulating supply: 207 million

Inflationary mechanisms

Deflationary mechanisms

Unlocking & vesting of neurons

Because the IC took years of R&D (at Genesis, the DFINITY foundation was over 200 full time members), there have been three main rounds and one airdrop event.

For a breakdown of the different rounds and vesting schedules, see Messsari's report on ICP "Introduction to ICP".
