Frequently asked questions
- How is on the Internet Computer DeFi different from Ethereum DeFi?
- Lower transaction fees (most user actions are gas-free), faster finality, Bitcoin and Ethereum support without wrapped tokens, and no need for a browser-extension wallet.
- Are ckBTC and ckETH wrapped tokens?
- No. They're chain-key tokens — the Internet Computer subnet holds the underlying BTC/ETH and produces a 1:1 native token through threshold cryptography. There's no centralized custodian.
- Is on the Internet Computer DeFi safe to use?
- Smart contract risk always applies. ICPSwap, Liquidium, and others have undergone audits but no DeFi is risk-free. Only deposit what you can afford to lose; spread risk across protocols.
- Do I need a wallet extension?
- No. Most ICP DeFi apps work via passkey sign-in (Internet Identity) directly in the browser.
