icRamp has outlined a major update to its peer to peer on and off ramp, adding liquidity tools, new payment paths and improvements across the chains it supports. The platform runs on the Internet Computer and is designed for traders and communities that want low fee, wallet to wallet transactions without using centralised exchanges.
The update makes orders liquid, meaning users can now top up liquidity or complete partial fills. This change required a rework of the order flow on the back end, which the team says gives both rampers and buyers far more flexibility. The platform also refined its EVM integration to reduce costs, with gas usage reportedly cut by half after a contract refactor. That shift is expected to lower overheads for users and reduce funding requirements for the EVM RPC.
A major addition is support for Stripe. Rampers can now create and connect Stripe accounts through a full onboarding flow and receive payments directly. Pay With Crypto has also been added as a separate path, letting an offer specify which chain and asset they prefer to receive. These new methods sit alongside PayPal and direct chain payments across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and ICP. Each transaction moves wallet to wallet, with verification handled through Internet Computer canisters, HTTP calls and multi chain listeners.
The team stressed that the platform relies heavily on the Internet Computer’s infrastructure, including deterministic canisters, Bitcoin and Solana integrations and a set of tools that handle validation across different ecosystems. They also touched on the role of IC Alloy and RPCVM in the wider implementation.
The demonstration shared with the update shows how users create accounts, link payment providers, add addresses across supported chains, create orders, test partial fills and confirm transactions through Stripe or crypto. The walkthrough highlights the blended flow between front end actions and the logic running behind the scenes, which has been reworked over multiple milestones during the grant period.
While the upgrade appears aimed at making icRamp more flexible and cheaper to use, the broader market context raises familiar questions about the role of P2P liquidity tools, especially at times when confidence in centralised exchanges shifts. Advocates for P2P trading often argue that direct settlement is safer and more transparent, while critics point out the need for strong safeguards and clear communication around user responsibility.
For now, the icRamp team is positioning this release as a maturing stage for the platform. They encourage developers to review the devlogs for a technical breakdown of the updates and the structural changes behind the new order systems and payment paths.
