Characteristics
"State-of-the-art User Experience: Users only need a browser to interact with ICP smart contracts. Users do not need wallets or tokens or any custom software, eliminating all hurdles typically associated with using dapps."
"WebAssembly: ICP uses WebAssembly, an open standard for binary formats, for its smart contracts. This enables developers to use various programming languages with ease, enhancing developer friendliness due to straightforward mappings to WebAssembly"
