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 MAD/ICP trading pair and what does it represent?
The MAD/ICP pair represents the exchange rate between the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), a fiat currency, and Internet Computer (ICP), a digital asset. It allows you to purchase ICP tokens, which are essential for participating in the Internet Computer's 'World Computer' ecosystem. ICP is used for governance via the Network Nervous System (NNS) and to power computation in 'canister' smart contracts by converting it into cycles. -
What are common methods for using a fiat on-ramp to buy ICP with MAD?
A direct MAD/ICP trading pair is uncommon. The typical process involves a two-step fiat on-ramp: 1) Use a cryptocurrency exchange that accepts MAD to buy a major liquidity asset like USDT or BTC via bank transfer or credit/debit card. 2) Transfer that asset to an exchange with high ICP trading volume and execute the trade. Alternatively, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) platforms might offer more direct options, but require careful vetting of sellers and adherence to KYC/AML compliance. -
How does the Internet Computer's 'reverse gas model' impact ICP token utility?
The reverse gas model is a key feature of the DFINITY technology stack. Unlike other blockchains where users pay gas fees for transactions, on the Internet Computer, developers pre-load their 'canister' smart contracts with 'cycles' (a stable computational resource). These cycles are created by burning ICP tokens. This means developers cover the computation costs, allowing users to interact with dApps without needing tokens or paying fees, which significantly enhances user experience and the utility of holding ICP for development purposes. -
What is the Network Nervous System (NNS) and why is it important for ICP holders?
The Network Nervous System (NNS) is the open, algorithmic governance system that controls the Internet Computer. ICP holders can lock their tokens in 'neurons' within the NNS to participate in governance proposals and vote on the future of the network. In return for this active participation and securing the network, they earn voting rewards in ICP. This makes the NNS a critical component of ICP's tokenomics, incentivizing long-term holding and active involvement in the ecosystem. -
What are the typical transaction fees and processing times when buying crypto with Moroccan Dirham?
Fees and times vary based on the chosen fiat gateway. International bank or wire transfers can take 1-5 business days and may incur significant bank fees. Using a credit/debit card on a cryptocurrency exchange is often faster, processing in minutes, but usually comes with higher percentage-based fees (e.g., 2-5%). P2P trading fees can be lower, but processing times depend entirely on the payment method agreed upon with the seller and their responsiveness. Always review the fee schedule of any platform before initiating a digital asset purchase.
