The platform sets limits on how many cycles a canister can hold and consume to prevent malicious code from draining resources, but it is important to say that canister smart contracts must be able to pay for complete execution.
ICP tokens reflect the value of the Internet Computer blockchain; they can be exchanged between token holders and also used to reward node providers for providing compute capacity.
The Internet Computer reported that it developed a novel system that interfaces directly with the Bitcoin blockchain, and according to the Dfinity roadmap, the launch of the bitcoin integration is set for the end of Q1 2022. The DFINITY Foundation added:
By integrating directly with the Bitcoin network, real BTC is able to be directly used within the Internet Computer smart contract framework. Programmers and app builders can already build smart contracts (canisters) that receive, hold, and send bitcoin on a local development testnet.
