## About ICE token
### What is ICE token?
ICE is the native token of the IceCreamSwap DEX and available on [multiple chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain). Check the [ICE page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice) for more information.
### What is the total supply of ICE token?
10 million across [all chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain).
### What is the circulating supply of ICE token?
10 million (*i.e.*, total supply) minus the [top token holder](https://brisescan.com/token/0xB999Ea90607a826A3E6E6646B404c3C7d11fa39D/token-holders) (*i.e.*, remaining amount).
### What is the starting price of ICE token?
$1.
### What is the current price of ICE token?
You can check the current price on the [Info page](https://icecreamswap.com/info/tokens/0xb999ea90607a826a3e6e6646b404c3c7d11fa39d) (preferred) or on [DEXTools.io](https://www.dextools.io/app/bitgert/pair-explorer/0x558077e98aeceeb1d616d18c144c15909d4ab744).
### What is the market capitalization of ICE token?
In crypto, [market capitalization](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-market-cap) (or market cap or mcap) is calculated by multiplying the current price of a single coin by its circulating supply. So, the market cap of ICE token can be obtained as [current price](#price) :heavy\_multiplication\_x: [circulating supply](#circulating-supply).
### Is ICE token listed on CoinMarketCap (CMC)?
Yes, it is currently listed for [Bitgert ](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/icecream/)and [CORE](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/icecreamswap-core/). Other chains are also working in progress.

You have to [import](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/metamask#import-token) it first.
### How do I import ICE token into MetaMask?
Follow [this instruction](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/metamask#import-token) to import. Make sure use the right [contract address](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice#contract-address) for the right chain as ICE token is available on [multiple chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain).
### **What is the contract address of ICE token?**
ICE token is available on [multiple chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain). You can find its [contract address](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice#contract-address) on each chain.
### Why is my balance of ICE token showing 0?
You don't have any ICE tokens, or they have been provided to the liquidity pool.
## About Wallet
### Which crypto wallets are supported?
Wallets such as [MetaMask](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/metamask) and [Trust Wallet](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/trust-wallet) that support the Bitgert chain.
Don't feel left behind if you are using other wallets, which can be imported into the ones supported by IceCreamSwap. Check the [Setup Wallet page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet) for more information.
### Why can't I connect my wallet to IceCreamSwap?
It is highly recommended to use the built-in browser shipped with wallet, which works the best. Learn more on how to [connect to IceCreamSwap](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/metamask#connect).
### What is IceCream RPC?
[IceCream RPC](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet#rpc) is the most used, most reliable, and most capable RPC for the Bitgert network. It is our gift to the entire Bitgert community. Check the [Setup Wallet page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet) to learn how to add it.
## About Swap
### **How to swap my tokens?**
[Swap](https://icecreamswap.com/swap) like a breeze. Check the [Swap page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/swap) for more information or follow [this tutorial](https://youtu.be/W_Ud3jhybwI).
### What slippage should I use?
The default 0.5% slippage works most times. You may need to increase the slippage if your tokens have buy/sell tax.
### Is there any trading fee for swapping?
Yes, there is a single fee (0.3%). Note that this has nothing to do with slippage.
### Why can't I see my token in the dropdown menu?
This is fairly common for a new token. You can use the search box to import it by using its name or contract address. For BRC20 tokens, their contract addresses can be found at [brisescan.com](https://brisescan.com/tokens).
## About Staking
### Can I stake my token?
Yes, you can [stake](https://icecreamswap.com/pools) supported tokens to earn passive income. Check the [Staking page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/staking) for more information.
## About Liquidity
### How do I provide liquidity to a pool?
Just add a pair of two tokens in our [liquidity pool](https://icecreamswap.com/liquidity) and you get [LP tokens](#lp-tokens) in return. Check the [Liquidity page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/liquidity) for more information or follow [this tutorial](https://youtu.be/aB221tXFgjE).
### What are liquidity pool (LP) tokens?
Liquidity pool (LP) tokens, also known as liquidity provider tokens, are given to users who provide a pair of two tokens as liquidity to [our pool](https://icecreamswap.com/liquidity). These tokens act as a receipt, allowing you to claim your original tokens and interest earned. If you stake your LP tokens on [our farm](https://icecreamswap.com/farms), you also earn [ICE tokens](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice) as rewards with high yield. Check the [Liquidity page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/liquidity) and [Farm page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/farm) for more information.
### How much reward will I get by providing liquidity?
Trading fees as well as [ICE tokens](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice) if you stake your [LP tokens](#lp-tokens) on [our farm](https://icecreamswap.com/farms).
### **Is there any deposit fee for providing liquidity to a pool?**
No.
### **Is there any withdrawal fee for providing liquidity to a pool?**
No.
### Is there any lock time for providing liquidity to a pool?
No.
### **Is there any risk of loss for providing liquidity to a pool?**
Yes. There is a chance of [impermanent loss](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/impermanent-loss-explained) when token price changes.
Providing liquidity to a pool, *a.k.a* farming or mining, is a long-term investment. Do you know that you earn 5/6 of the trading fees? As we grow, that alone can quickly negate any loss, not mentioning that you get ICE rewards if you stake your liquidity on [our farm](https://icecreamswap.com/farms).
### **Why the counts in LP tokens change from time to time?**
This is completely normal as you are earning trading fees, which are paid in kind and compounded automatically. Those numbers also change as users start trading on the pair.
### Why do I get less tokens after swapping or adding/removing liquidity to/from a pool?
It is likely that your tokens have buy/sell tax. The preview amount is before-tax, mainly because it is not possible to know the transfer tax beforehand. You buy/sell your token by swapping. It is also a "sell" when adding liquidity to a pool because you trade your two tokens for the liquidity pool (LP) tokens. The same applies when removing liquidity. The after-tax amount is thus smaller.
### What is the difference among Bitgert, BRISE, BRC, and BRC20 network?
They are being used interchangeably. Technically, [Bitgert](https://bitgert.com/) is a blockchain. BRISE is the native token of the Bitgert chain. BRC or BRC20 is the token standard of the Bitgert chain.
### Where can I buy BRISE token?
There are two kinds: BRISE on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and native BRISE on the Bitgert chain (BRC). It is highly recommended to buy the BRC BRISE as it has no buy/sell tax.
If you have BSC tokens such as USDT and BNB, first [bridge](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge) them to the Bitgert chain using [our bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge). Then [swap](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/swap) your tokens to buy BRC BRISE using [our swap](https://icecreamswap.com/swap).
You can also buy BRC BRISE on CEX such as [BitMart](https://www.bitmart.com/) and [BiBox](https://www.bibox.com/), and then withdraw to your wallet.
## About Bridge
### Do you have a bridge?
Yes. [Our bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge) supports [multiple chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain). Check the [Bridge page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge) for more information.
For some tokens, you can use the [Bitgert Bridge](https://app.multichain.org/) for now.
### Are there any bridging fees?
A small fixed fee and 0.5% of the bridging amount.
The fixed fee is usually $1 but may be adjusted per chain. We use this fee to support one nice feature of our bridge: gas dropper. When user bridges from the source chain (e.g., Binance Smart Chain) to the destination change (e.g., Qitmeer), if he/she has no native token on the destination, our bridge will automatically drop some native tokens (e.g., MEER). This is particularly helpful and friendly to new users.
The 0.5% fee is used to cover the gas fees on the destination network (*i.e.*, where you receive tokens).
See more information on the [Bridge page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge#fees).
### Are there any min and max limit for bridge?
No.
## About Token
### Why can't I see my tokens?
You probably need to import your token into your wallet in order to display and/or manage it. Please refer to [this instruction](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet#import-token). This applies to other tokens as well.
### What are the *i*-Tokens?
The [***i**-T*okens](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge#i-tokens) (*e.g.*, USDTi, USDCi, BNBi, DAIi, and DOGEi) are operational on the Bitgert network, which are the IceCreamSwap (hence the '***i***' suffix) flavored tokens bridged from non-Bitgert chains. They can be bridged back to their original chains anytime using [our bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge). Learn more on the [Bridge page](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge).
You may need the [contract addresses](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge#i-tokens) of ***i***-Tokens to [import](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/get-started/setup-wallet/metamask#import-token) them into your wallet.
### What are the *m*-Tokens?
Bitgert has migrated its bridge to a third-party service provider [Multichain](https://app.multichain.org). Tokens bridged via Multichain are operational on the Bitgert network, which are displayed with a suffix '***m***' (*e.g.*, USDTm) on the IceCreamSwap DEX. You have to use Multichain again to bridge back.
### What is the SCORE token
The StakedCore (SCORE) token is launched by IceCreamSwap to supercharge CORE staking on the [Core DAO](https://coredao.org/) network. When users wrap CORE to SCORE, it is deposited into the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) part of the [Satoshi Plus Consensus mechanism.](https://www.bsc.news/post/coredao-tweets-clarifications-about-consensus-mechanism-in-wake-of-launch) After staking, rewards are automatically compounded and increase the price of the SCORE token.
This innovation implies that the SCORE token strongly correlates with CORE’s price but reliably outperforms it due to the earned staking rewards. Therefore, SCORE increases as CORE price increases and vice versa. Most importantly, the token can be utilized like other ERC20 tokens, unlike regular staked tokens that are untouchable.
For more information, please read [this article](https://www.bsc.news/post/icecreamswap-unveils-liquid-staking-on-core).
### Do you have any plan for NFT?
Yes, we are building a universal bridge for NFT tokens.
