The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) integrates Solana in an attempt to make multi-chain apps. ICP has already integrated Bitcoin and Ethereum and is able to host Defi projects at lower costs, while applying to the liquidity in those networks.
Dfinity Foundation, the maker and important contribution to the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) announced the integration of Solana in the ICP chain. The new integration uses the merger technology of ICP, so that the protocol can connect to some of the world’s most active public block chains.
“By bridging the gap between Solana and ICP by chain fusion, we grant developers with powerful new tools to build daps of the next generation that unite speed, safety and decentralization in one seamless experience, essentially resolving the barriers that limit blockchain innovation,” said Jan Camenisch, Chief Technology Officer at Dfinity.
The integration of Solana means that the native smart contracts of ICP, known as Canisters, can interact with the other chain and merge Defi with seamless performance and security. The technology removes the need for a bridge, one of the risky and most attacked species of smart contracts. Buses are a form of smart portfolios, with which addresses and the distribution of funds on the basis of predetermined authorization institutions can be read.
With the chain fusion technology app builders can be started on ICP without a full migration. This allows the growing user base of ICP to tap external Defi -Liquidity, at a higher speed and at lower costs.
Solana apps can also use the efficient with chain processing of ICP, instead of adding another off-chain component.
Dfinity strives for decentralized internet ecosystem
The integration of several public chains marks a different step for DFINITY for building a decentralized internet ecosystem. The merger of chains offers extra web3 options for both projects and end users.
The merger will open ICP for a potential 4.8 m daily active users, after the recent growth of Solana as a result of meme -token and Dex activity. ICP has also locked a limited Defi sector, with slightly less than $ 30 million in total value, but the chain is suitable for hosting already established apps in Dex Trading and Lending. The necklace also wears around 297 BTC in packed form, also used for Defi protection.
ICP is currently wearing around 9K in daily internet identities or active users, based on tokenminal facts. The chain has around 5.3k daily unique active portfolios. For now it remains uncertain which apps will use both chains for their activity.
ICP is currently trading around $ 5.12, within the middle range for the past month. The chain is currently in 190th place based on his activity and appsWhile he organizes a handful of indigenous projects with their own tokens. Despite its relatively low rank, ICP is one of the growing chains in 2025, with the aim of breathing new life into its activity during the current Bullmarkt and the increased demand for Web3 activities.
ICP has collected $ 167 million in several controversial ranks, supported by A16Z and Polychain Capital. Since its foundation in 2018, the chain has undergone various market cycles and is intended to tap the currently hot chains for DEX and credit activity.
