# The ICNT

**Introduction to ICNT**

The Impossible Cloud Network Token (ICNT) is the native digital asset of the Impossible Cloud Network (ICN). Serving as the fundamental unit of value, ICNT is crucial for enabling various interactions across the ecosystem, including accessing services and rewarding contributors.

ICNT holders can use the token to:

* Access decentralised cloud resources provided by Hardware Providers (HPs).
* Earn rewards by contributing collateral to the network from the staked HPs or HyperNode successfully performing their tasks.

For more in-depth information, explore the following subpages:

* [**Circulating Supply**](/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt/circulating-supply.md): Learn about the ICNT supply that is actively available for transactions and its role in network economics.
* [**Total Supply**](/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt/total-supply.md): Understand the overall supply limits of ICNT and how this impacts scarcity and token valuation.
* [**Token Minting**](/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt/token-minting.md): Read the formal statement confirming that **no additional ICNT will ever be minted**.
* [**Burn Mechanisms**](/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt/burn-mechanisms.md): Details about potential future mechanisms for reducing circulating supply through token burns.

For more details, visit each subpage to gain insights into the token's role in maintaining and growing the ICN ecosystem.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.icn.global/icn-economics/tokenomics/the-icnt.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
