In this post, we are going to see how you can buy Internet Computer in an easy, simple and fast way.
Where to buy Internet Computer
For this, I am going to use two platforms, Binance and gate.io, where you can find all the links in the description. You can see below a video of how to do it step by step.
Step by Step
Internet Computer can be found in few exchanges, and you can also use Uniswap, although you will find high ethereum commissions to buy it. Therefore, the best option is to use the centralized exchange gate.io that has this cryptocurrency listed.
The first thing we have to do is to deposit funds in our gate.io account. In order to have funds in gate.io, the best option is to send them from another Exchange, since the platform does not have the option to buy cryptocurrencies with credit card or wire transfer. For this, I am going to use binance, and I am going to send tether (USDT), since it is the cryptocurrency we are going to need to buy Internet Computer.
In my case, I already have USDT in my binance account, if you don’t know how to buy it, I’ll leave a video below so you can see it. With the usdt, we go to wallet, spot wallet and click withdraw.
Now we must go to gate.io, and go to deposit. Here, we click on the tron/TRC-20 network, as it has the lowest commissions and only costs one dollar commission. Copy the address and paste it into binance. Once in binance, enter the address, the tron network, trc-20 and the amount to withdraw the usdt. We confirm with our email and cell phone, and that’s it. Remember to indicate the trc-20 network to save on commissions and not have any problems.

Exchange with more cryptocurrencies
Now you must wait for the USDT to appear in your gate.io balance, it usually takes a few minutes until you have it ready to use. Once they appear, go to my funds, search for usdt or tether and click on trade.
You will see the panel to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, here, look for ICP, and you will see the ICP/usdt pair. We go down and indicate the amount we want to buy from Internet Computer. Here, if you want to use all your usdt, just click on the number above and the total will be placed. At the top of Price you will see the current price of the cryptocurrency. With the amount indicated, just click on the buy button.
Now, you will be the owner of Internet Computer, and to check it, you can go again to my funds to see the amount you have. Once you want to sell it, we must return to the same panel above, but this time we will go to the red sell button. We indicate the amount we want to sell, and click on sell. This way, you can have USDT again and send it to binance to withdraw it to your bank account.

What is Internet Computer Dfinity?
The latest original Layer 1 blockchain project is launching a revolutionary public network that provides an unlimited environment for smart contracts that run at web speed, serve the web, scale, and reduce computational costs by a million times or more. Build everything from DeFi, to mass-market tokenized social media services running on the blockchain, or extend Ethereum dapps. Pursue blockchain uniqueness.
The DFINITY Foundation is a non-profit scientific research organization based in Zurich, Switzerland, that oversees research centers in Palo Alto, San Francisco and Zurich, as well as teams in Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Foundation’s mission is to build, promote and maintain the Internet computer. Its accomplished team-which includes many of the world’s top cryptographers and experts in distributed systems and programming languages, with nearly 100,000 academic citations and 200 patents combined-is committed to building advanced experimental technologies to improve the public Internet.
The Internet Computer extends the functionality of the public Internet to host backend software, transforming it into a global computing platform.
Using the Internet Computer, developers can create websites, enterprise computing systems and Internet services by installing their code directly on the public Internet and bypassing server computers and commercial cloud services.
Allowing systems to be built directly on the Internet is undoubtedly great, but the Internet Computer goes beyond this. It aims to address the serious problems that have long plagued IT, such as system security, and provide a means to reverse and undo the increasing monopolization of Internet services, user relationships and data, and return the Internet to its creative, innovative and permissionless roots.
For example, the Internet computer hosts its native software within an unstoppable tamper-proof environment, making it possible to create systems that do not rely on firewalls, backup systems and failover for security. This framework also makes interoperability between different systems as simple as a function call, and automatically persists memory, eliminating the need for traditional archives, allowing organizations to dispense with separate infrastructures such as database servers. These features enable Internet software systems to be completely autonomous and address today’s security challenges, while dramatically reducing the exorbitant complexity and cost of IT.
The increasing monopolization of Internet services is addressed by supporting “standalone software” that operates without an owner. This enables the creation of “open” versions of major Internet services, such as social networking websites or SaaS business services, that run as part of the fabric of the Internet itself. These new open services can offer users far superior guarantees on the treatment of their data and, in addition, can share their user data and functionality with other internet services through permanent APIs that can never be revoked, eliminating “platform risk” and enabling a dynamic and collaborative extension of the ecosystem in a way that generates mutualized network effects that allow them to compete with the Big Tech monopolies, providing tremendous new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors.
The Internet Computer is formed by an advanced decentralized protocol called ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) that runs independent data centers around the world to combine the power of individual computers in an unstoppable seamless universe where native Internet software is hosted and executed with the same security guarantees as smart contracts. It integrates with Internet standards, such as DNS, and can serve user experiences directly to web browsers and smartphones.
The Internet computer improves the world by providing solutions to critical problems facing technology today. Many of these critical problems arise from issues related to the current structure of the public Internet. Here are some key ways in which the Internet Computer improves the public Internet:
