FAQ

1/ Why does ICP need Wrap? Is it not possible to directly use ICP to trade?

WICP is an ICP token based on the IC network developed by the EXT token standard. It was created to integrate ICP with DeFi and solve the problem that ICP has no approval function (this is the reason why ICP is not directly used for transactions). The emergence of WICP will accelerate the DeFI process of IC network.

About this, you can also refer to Bitcoin & Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Ethereum (ETH) & Wrapped Ether (WETH). They (WBTC and WETH) were born for the same reasons.

2/ Why do we need an NFT Marketplace?

The most significant use case of NFT Marketplace is that it supports free trading of ICPSwap MOR Position (LP) NFT (received by creating liquidity in ICPSwap’s trading liquidity pool), where anyone can create NFT and trade it freely. The NFT Marketplace is fully decentralized.

3/ As you mentioned, What is the ICPSwap MOR Position (LP) NFT?

This NFT represents a liquidity position in an ICPSwap Liquidity(MOR) pool, which is like a receipt of your funds. The owner of this NFT can modify or redeem the position.

You can sell your funds by selling this NFT on NFT Marketplace. Once you sell/transfer this NFT, you will not be able to remove your liquidity position. The owner of the NFT will be able to remove the liquidity position.

4/ When will the “Mint NFT” function be launched?

The function of “Mint NFT” will be launched in ICPSwap version 1.1, expected to be in May.

5/ When will the Swap and Launchpad functions be launched?

The function of Swap and Launchpad will be launched in ICPSwap 2.0, expected to be in July.

Why do we still need some time to launch? Because we are optimizing for EXT Token Standard, and we are doing a new upgrade for our Swap. Also for security purposes, we need to fully validate the security and reliability of the token code with the WICP launch. We are also doing the final performance and algorithm testing internally.

Everything is done for the safety of your assets and transactions.

6/ The Swap, Launchpad, Farm and other functions are already in public testing, so why not launch them into the official version?

In order to make the stability of the function and product experience as good as possible. The functions of the ICPSwap Beta 3.0 will be iterated and optimized one after another until it is available to launch the official version. We will continue this mindset and mechanism to continuously improve the product experience and stability of the official version.

7/ Is the WICP on ICPSwap the same as Sonic or other DEX?

No, it is a different token, and the token standard is also different.

We welcome project owners of IC to integrate our WICP to make the DeFi application more accessible to your users. We hope that!

That’s all, siblings. Hope you all enjoy using ICPSwap 1.0 and enjoy the start of the DeFi journey.
