About
Internet Computer (ICP)
Internet Computer (ICP) is a decentralized network designed to function as a 'World Computer,' providing a complete Web3 infrastructure for hosting software, services, and data directly on the blockchain. Developed by the DFINITY Foundation, it fundamentally aims to extend the public internet's capabilities, allowing developers to build and deploy applications without reliance on centralized cloud providers. The core of its architecture is Chain Key Technology, a cryptographic breakthrough that allows the network to operate at web speed with unbounded capacity. This technology enables its unique smart contracts, known as 'canisters,' to serve interactive web content directly to end-users, facilitating a seamless and fully on-chain experience.
The network utilizes a 'reverse gas model,' where developers pre-load canisters with 'cycles'—a computational fuel converted from ICP utility tokens—to cover user interaction costs. Governance is managed by the Network Nervous System (NNS), an on-chain, tokenized system where ICP holders stake tokens in 'neurons' to vote on proposals and earn rewards. This positions ICP as a foundational layer for building scalable DeFi applications, decentralized social media, and enterprise systems entirely on-chain. The ICP digital asset is thus integral for network participation, rewarding node machine providers, and fueling the computational power of its ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the primary method for purchasing Internet Computer (ICP) with Azerbaijani Manat (AZN)?
To purchase the ICP utility token with AZN, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that acts as a fiat on-ramp for Azerbaijani Manat. The process usually involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML compliance, depositing AZN via local bank transfer or card payment, and then executing a trade on the AZN/ICP order book. P2P platforms can also be an alternative for a direct digital asset purchase. -
Why is converting AZN to ICP technically significant for accessing Web3 services?
Converting AZN to ICP is crucial because ICP is the native utility token required to power computation and on-chain data storage on the Internet Computer. Unlike other blockchains, ICP uses a 'reverse gas model' where developers pre-load 'canisters' (advanced smart contracts) with 'cycles' (derived from ICP). This means users don't pay gas fees, enabling true web-speed decentralized web services. Acquiring ICP is the direct entry point to building or using these services. -
Can I participate in Internet Computer's governance after buying ICP with AZN?
Yes. Once you acquire ICP tokens, you can lock them in 'neurons' to participate in the Network Nervous System (NSS), the decentralized governance system of the Internet Computer. By participating, you can vote on proposals that shape the protocol's future and earn staking rewards. This blockchain transaction is a core feature of the ICP utility token, allowing holders to become active stakeholders in the ecosystem's evolution. -
What are the common fees when trading AZN for ICP on a cryptocurrency exchange?
When trading AZN for ICP, you should account for several potential fees. These include a deposit fee for funding your account with AZN, a trading fee (often a maker/taker model) for executing the trade on the order book, and a withdrawal fee for transferring your ICP from the exchange to your secure digital wallet. These fees vary significantly between trading platforms. -
What type of digital wallet is needed to securely store ICP after a AZN/ICP transaction?
For secure storage, a non-custodial digital wallet compatible with the Internet Computer is recommended. The official NNS front-end dApp allows you to create a self-custody wallet using Internet Identity. Third-party wallets also exist. Using a non-custodial wallet gives you full control over your keys and assets, and is essential for interacting directly with the Network Nervous System (NSS) for governance and staking, a capability not always available through custodial exchange wallets.
