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 best way to buy Internet Computer (ICP) with Singapore Dollar (SGD)?

    To purchase Internet Computer (ICP) with SGD, the most common method is using a regulated cryptocurrency exchange that serves Singapore. These platforms act as a fiat on-ramp, allowing you to deposit SGD via methods like FAST transfer or PayNow. After completing KYC/AML compliance checks, you can place an order on the SGD/ICP trading pair to acquire the digital asset and then transfer it to a secure digital wallet.
  • What are 'canisters' on the Internet Computer, and why is this relevant when buying ICP?

    Canisters are the evolution of smart contracts on the Internet Computer network, bundling both code and data to power Web3 services and dApps. This is relevant because ICP tokens are used to create 'cycles,' the computational fuel that powers these canisters. When you buy ICP, you're acquiring a utility token essential for participating in and powering this decentralized cloud computing environment, moving beyond a simple speculative asset.
  • How does the Network Nervous System (NNS) relate to my SGD to ICP investment?

    The Network Nervous System (NNS) is the on-chain governance system for the Internet Computer. After converting your SGD to ICP, you can lock your ICP tokens in the NNS to create 'neurons'. This allows you to vote on proposals that shape the network's future and earn voting rewards. It's a key feature that transforms your digital asset from a passive holding into an active stake in the ecosystem's governance.
  • Are there specific security practices for managing ICP tokens bought with SGD?

    Yes. Beyond standard digital wallet security, it's crucial to securely manage your 'Internet Identity,' which is the authentication system for the Internet Computer ecosystem. Unlike private keys, it uses cryptographic devices like YubiKeys or biometrics. After your SGD to ICP transaction, move your funds from the exchange. For long-term holding or NNS staking, secure your Internet Identity anchor diligently. Using a hardware wallet for added security is also highly recommended.
  • What is the 'reverse gas model' of Internet Computer and how does it affect the SGD/ICP pair's utility?

    The 'reverse gas model' means developers pre-load their canisters (smart contracts) with cycles, so end-users don't pay for computation, unlike Ethereum's gas fees. For an SGD/ICP investor, this signifies that ICP's primary utility is not for end-user transaction fees but for developers building services. This model aims to foster user adoption by removing a key friction point, potentially increasing the long-term demand for ICP as a fuel for Web3 development.
