ICPSwap

Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

ICPSwap V3 is an Internet Computer-native concentrated-liquidity AMM implemented through ICP canisters. Every pool position, swap, withdrawal and upgrade therefore depends on the unapproved ICP settlement perimeter. The version-1 rejected-chain dossier is dispositive regardless of the approximately $2.80M observed on ICP on 2026-08-15; its AMM inventory would remain a separate rejection constraint on an approved chain.

Kill criteria: the events that revoke this verdict
• The ICP chain verdict changes or an economically separate ICPSwap product deploys on an approved chain
• Any reopened liquidity product passes exact-pool, controller, upgrade, incident, AMM-loss and proposed-size exit review

The research file

Mechanism and chain applicability

ICPSwap describes itself as a decentralized exchange based on the Internet Computer, and its current V3 service implements a Uniswap-v3-style concentrated-liquidity AMM in Motoko canisters. The SwapFactory creates and upgrades SwapPool canisters, while each SwapPool handles liquidity, swaps, deposits and withdrawals. The tracked product is therefore wholly settled and administered on ICP, directly meeting the shared v1 rejected-chain dossier.

Current observation and lifecycle

The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-15 classified ICPSwap as a DEX and reported approximately $2.80M entirely on ICP. The official site remains live through 2026, the application still exposes the exchange, and the official V3 service repository documents current pool and upgrade architecture. This supports an active ICP-only product rather than an archived or multi-chain record.

Control, loss and exit applicability

ICPSwap V3 pool state and user exits are executed by SwapPool canisters. The SwapFactory coordinates a structured backup, pause, upgrade and resume pipeline for pools, so canister controllers and ICP execution are part of the authority and availability path. Concentrated LPs additionally face range, inventory and impermanent-loss risk, but those product risks cannot cure the unapproved settlement chain.

Why the class rule decides

No observed ICPSwap position can enter, rebalance or exit without ICP canister execution. The shared v1 rejected-chain dossier therefore controls before AMM quality or size. Reopen only if ICP passes the adviser chain review or an economically separate ICPSwap product deploys on an approved chain; any reopened LP review must still apply the amm-lp dossier to exact pools, controllers, upgrades, incidents and proposed-size removal.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
