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 are the common methods for buying Internet Computer (ICP) with Swedish Krona (SEK)?

    To purchase the digital asset ICP with SEK, the most common method is using a cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat on-ramp. Users typically need to complete KYC/AML compliance, often streamlined using Swedish BankID. You can then fund your account via SEPA transfer or sometimes with instant payment methods like Swish. Once funded, you can execute a trade on the SEK/ICP order book to acquire ICP tokens, which power the 'World Computer' ecosystem.
  • What are 'canisters' and 'cycles' in the context of an SEK to ICP transaction?

    After acquiring ICP with SEK, you're interacting with the Internet Computer's unique architecture. 'Canisters' are the evolution of smart contracts, bundling WebAssembly (WASM) code and memory to create decentralized applications. 'Cycles' are the computational fuel for these canisters, similar to gas on other blockchains. A key feature is the 'reverse gas model,' where developers pre-load canisters with cycles, so end-users don't pay transaction fees, a major difference from traditional blockchain interactions.
  • How does the Network Nervous System (NNS) relate to the ICP I buy with SEK?

    The ICP tokens you acquire via a SEK fiat gateway can be used for on-chain governance through the Network Nervous System (NNS). By staking your ICP in the NNS, you can create 'neurons' which allow you to vote on proposals that determine the future of the Internet Computer protocol. This system provides a high degree of data sovereignty and decentralization, allowing token holders to actively participate in the network's evolution, a core principle of the DFINITY Foundation's vision.
  • What are the typical fees and processing times when buying ICP with Swedish Krona?

    When funding an exchange account with SEK, a SEPA transfer is cost-effective but may take 1-2 business days. Using Swish, if available, can be near-instantaneous but might have higher fees. The cryptocurrency exchange will also charge a trading fee for the SEK/ICP transaction, typically a small percentage. The subsequent blockchain transaction to move your ICP to a secure digital wallet, like one using Internet Identity, will be extremely fast due to the Internet Computer's high performance, with transaction finality in seconds.
  • Is purchasing ICP directly with SEK beneficial for accessing the Web3 ecosystem?

    Yes, using a SEK/ICP pair provides a direct fiat gateway into the Internet Computer's advanced Web3 environment. This avoids multiple trades (e.g., SEK to BTC/ETH, then to ICP), potentially reducing fees and slippage. It allows for direct participation in a network designed for data sovereignty and hosting fully on-chain decentralized applications within its canister-based architecture, offering a different technical approach to Web3 compared to traditional smart contract platforms.
