Chain Fusion technology unlocks powerful ICP capabilities for Ethereum, enabling smart contracts to leverage threshold signing services, oracles, DAO frameworks, privacy tools, passkey authentication, smart contract wallets, and reverse gas fees. Build seamless multichain solutions for DeFi, NFTs, payments, and SocialFi by augmenting Ethereum dapps with ICP's unique features.
Comprehensive EVM Chain Support Now Available
ICP smart contracts now fully support Ethereum and other EVM chains, allowing developers to:
- Enhance EVM-based contracts with ICP's advanced functionalities
- Transfer tokens across multiple chains
- Call smart contracts on EVM chains directly from ICP

Extending Ethereum's Capabilities with ICP
As the leading blockchain for DeFi with billions in TVL, Ethereum gains significant advantages through ICP integration:
Key Benefits:
- Increased asset liquidity across ecosystems
- Expanded market access for dapps
- Improved scalability and throughput
- Access to ICP's unique Web3 infrastructure
Core ICP Features for Ethereum:
100% On-Chain Web3 Hosting
Decentralize your entire dapp by hosting frontends and backend data on the Internet Computer's tamper-proof infrastructure.
Gasless Token Swaps
Using ckETH and ckERC-20 tokens, users enjoy:
- Sub-dollar transaction costs
- No gas fees
- 1-2 second finality
Seamless Web2 Integration
Connect smart contracts to external data sources:
- Real-time price feeds
- API connectivity
- Traditional web services
Revolutionizing DeFi with ckTokens
Traditional Ethereum transactions face prohibitive costs:
- Average USDC swap fee: $6.66
- Average USDT swap fee: $9.93
ICP's chain-key tokens (ckETH, ckERC-20) solve this with:
- Fractional cent transactions
- Instant finality (1-2s)
- No gas fees
- Full 1:1 ETH backing (verifiable on-chain)
These tokens implement ICRC-1/2 standards for seamless wallet integration across the ICP ecosystem.
EVM on Internet Computer: Bitfinity Solution
Bitfinity's EVM implementation brings Ethereum compatibility to ICP with:
- Solidity support
- Sub-second finality
- Near-zero fees
- Scalability for existing Ethereum dapps
