That said, there are reasons ICP gets suppressed. You’ll notice that if any single ICP feature became widespread, it would essentially wipe out an entire sector of the industry. Built-in, free oracles—the oracle sector is gone. Smart contracts can directly sign transactions on other chains—chain-abstraction sector, gone. Trustless connectivity between any two public chains—the cross-chain bridge sector, gone. Smart contracts with native, large-capacity storage—data-storage blockchains, gone. Contracts can directly generate threshold signatures—MPC and embedded-wallet sectors, gone. The most flexible account-abstraction in the space, able to directly control assets on other chains—AA wallets and multisig wallets, gone. Transfers are the fastest in the ecosystem with the smoothest UX—high-throughput chain sector, gone. Reverse gas fees—those touting “use stablecoins to pay gas” as a differentiator, gone. Full BTC nodes running directly on ICP—the most decentralized and secure BTC integration—BTC L2 sector, gone. The most advanced identity-based cryptography in the industry—data privacy & encryption sectors, gone. Native WASM support—making it the best platform for verifying ZKPs; no matter how large the proof, verification costs are nearly zero, and results can be written to any other chain—those assorted ZK tricks invented to work around Ethereum’s limited compute, gone. A vibe-coding platform whose features and UX are better than those of actual AI companies, with one-click on-chain deployment—the Web3 AI sector is basically gone too. The killer part is that ICP would drag the whole Web3 industry from a “tell a story, issue a token, pump, and rug” model back to a “build products, launch for real, and make money” model. No wonder it’s not exactly welcomed. 🤣

We released an optimized #sha2 package for #Motoko on: mops.one/sha2. * entire SHA2 family * 2.5x faster than all previous implementations * no heap allocations * 7x faster for short messages -> accelerate Merkle tree applications #dfinity #icp #mops

We're happy to announce the release of a new #Motoko package. Vector is an efficient resizable array data structure with asymptotically better behaviour than Buffer. mops.one/vector More cool Motoko stuff coming soon. #icp #dfinity
