TL;DR: if you haven’t considered building on the #ICP yet, NOW is your time. you can build EVERYTHING you can build on other chains on the IC, and more: * we have CHAIN FUSION, which enables smart contracts on the IC to read from and write to all chains that support either ECDSA or Schnorr signatures * this means canisters can hold assets from EVERY chain that supports those two signature types * this means the IC is perfectly suited to build the next generation of cross-chain messaging protocols, cross-chain dapps and general purpose cross chain infra * download the chain fusion ecosystem report here internetcomputer.org/ICP-Cha… * canisters can make HTTP outcalls, that means they can dynamically fetch data from the offchain world. no oracles needed, all provided by the platform directly and crazy cheap. want to fetch the current BTC price form a canister or settle your latest prediction market? no problem, you can do so in a decentralised and secure way from a canister. * the platform is great to onboard the masses * reverse gas model doesn’t require your users to understand anything about crypto, tokens or wallets and they particularly don’t need to own any tokens to interact with your services. think developers sponsored gas built into the platform. * fact that canisters operate at web speed (1-2 second finality) allows you to recreate web2 UX * you can host secure, decentralised frontends on the IC. but not only that, you can actually also serve ANY content over HTTP. think videos, images, PDFs, 3d files. also, canisters can serve APIs to allow web2 devs to interact with them without them needing to learn anything new * you have timers built into the platform, so no more servers with cron jobs to periodically call your onchain contracts * you don’t want to store your dynamic NFT assets on a centralised cloud? no worries, the 400GB storage per canister have you covered, just store AND MANIPULATE them fully onchain. you can actually also create NFT metadata (e.g. JSON) and their assets (e.g. PNGs or SVGs) directly from a canister smart contract. see a cool use case for this here, were ERC721 NFTs are created and stored on the IC: youtube.com/watch?v=EykvCT5m… * want to build a dice game, rock paper scissors or poker and need randomness for that? no more expensive oracles needed for this on the IC. you can fetch fresh, secure and unpredictable randomness directly from the IC. * ICPs compute capacities are so powerful that you can ACTUALLY RUN AI ONCHAIN. yes, you heard that right. we have LLMs running in canister smart contracts (icgpt.onicai.com/) on top of that, we have EXCELLENT support for builders: * developer grants * design grants * workshops for token design, marketing etc we run with partners * global ICP hubs to connect with your local ICP community * ICP Labs where we invite teams building in specific areas to the office for workshops and guidance from DFINITY R\&D (we have more than 200 employees) * a fantastic, incredible active forum.dfinity.org * … and more if you want to have a chat, @domiwoe and I will be in bangkok until the 16th. DMs are open, take the redpill anon.

Bitcoin is quantum safe, right?

With SQLite running on ICP, running fun queries like this is entirely possible! And, it is easy peasy to get started, full stack demo here: github.com/kristoferlund/ic-… 🌱

odin fun is in fact not running on bob bodily's computer (as cool as that would be) it is a decentralized bitcoin app built on the internet computer protocol (icp) if you hate icp or you don't know anything about icp (you most likely fall in this camp), here is everything you need to know icp is a bitcoin sidechain that provides fantastic protocol primitives for building bitcoin apps, best of the best 1. bitcoin light node running fully onchain (utxos, balances, block headers) 2. threshold signing subnets (ecdsa, eddsa, schnorr) to sign legacy and taproot bitcoin transactions, solana, ethereum, etc 3. bitcoin bridge to leverage btc on icp (ckbtc) 4. fast finality (2 seconds) 5. cheap onchain native storage ($5/GB/year) 6. wasm-based, so you can build smart contracts with typescript, python, rust, c , etc 7. decentralized website hosting (serve it up straight from your icp smart contract) 8. no gas fees or network fees (chain abstraction) 9. decentralized oracles and indexers 10. onchain recurring automated processes (a cron job on the blockchain) 11. onchain randomness (for all of your rng needs) we built odin fun on icp because it is the best place to build bitcoin apps, it has everything we need ✅ chain abstraction (no new token) ✅ account abstraction (login with bitcoin wallet) ✅ session keys (only sign once every 48 hours) ✅ fast finality ✅ fantastic bitcoin integration tech put it all together and you get bitcoin apps with phenomenal user experience that feel bitcoin native bitcoin defi at its finest

Why ODIN•FUN is built on ICP? It’s the best place to build Bitcoin apps - Native BTC integration (ckBTC bridge threshold signing) - 2s finality, no gas fees - Onchain storage & hosting - Account abstraction - Web2 speed, Bitcoin security Bitcoin DeFi the way it should be

SUI💙ICP onchain wallet, status update 1. Build time: 2.5 hours. Done: ✅ Onchain secure address derivation Remains: ⬜️ Get account balance ⬜️ Sign transactions ⬜️ Send transactions Now, sleep.

$PANDA is going live on @BNBCHAIN

Another part of @xfusion_finance is live. Long story short - we needed simple way to get ckUSDC in users' wallets. So - I decided to take ckBoost 's idea, do some voodoo and.. now you can have permanent 0x address mapped to your principal - deposit USDC from Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and get ckUSDC in your wallet. Not monopoly tokens, ckUSDC. Have fun. muq7j-7iaaa-aaaab-acg3a-cai.…

ckBTC is a token that represents Bitcoin on the Internet Computer — backed 1:1 by real BTC. It moves in seconds, costs almost nothing to transfer, and can be held or used directly by smart contracts. For developers, ckBTC makes Bitcoin programmable: build DEXs, lending markets, DAOs, or payment apps that run entirely onchain, powered by Bitcoin liquidity. Learn more 👉 BitcoinDeFi.dev

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the on-chain Ordinals Indexer — the latest contribution from @OmnityNetwork to the open-source community after overcoming countless engineering challenges. The Ordinals Indexer has indexed all Bitcoin blocks since genesis, utilizing nearly 200 GB of on-chain storage on the @dfinity Internet Computer (IC) — yet another testament to IC’s remarkable on-chain computation and storage capabilities. Everyone knows that Bitcoin DeFi holds enormous potential, but the lack of on-chain infrastructure has long constrained its growth. Sixteen months ago, Omnity Network released the on-chain Runes Indexer, and today, the vast majority of Runes issuance and trading activities occur on IC. In fact, ICP Chain Fusion stands as the only practical Bitcoin DeFi platform. Bitcoin DApps built on Chain Fusion offer a trustless experience with usability comparable to, or even surpassing, that of Ethereum. With today’s launch of the Ordinals Indexer, the ICP Chain Fusion infrastructure is now complete, unlocking decentralized Bitcoin NFTFi. Combined with the emerging NFT strategy trend, this opportunity could revitalize the Ordinals ecosystem. To all Bitcoin builders — now the stage is ready for creating your legends. Testing the Ordinals Indexer via the link below; additional APIs will be made available gradually. a4gq6-oaaaa-aaaab-qaa4q-cai.…
