On Sep 30, DFINITY announced its final milestone release before the network’s public launch later this year. This release, called Sodium, represents a “feature complete” version of the network. The company also disclosed details about their governance system, called Network Nervous System, or NNS.
NNS will use a proprietary token called ICP to facilitate operations on its “Internet Computer.” At launch, there will be 469,213,710 ICP tokens in existence — a number determined by the quantity of tokens previously issued via pre-sales and other distribution rounds.
