You can onramp to ICP/crypto without going through a CEX now
So you guys built a crypto onramp?
Now I can convert dollars to cycles, then trade cycles back to icp on @ICPSwap through the cycle ledger DFINITY built, then go from ICP -> ckBTC -> BTC
Those are just API definitions.
The services that power those APIs are not open sourced, so we have no idea how the metrics are derived from the data. We trust that DFINITY is honest and that their current interpretation of each metric represents is reasonable and correct.
You’d store a map of the valid jwts in a
cache and delete on logout so doesn’t exist - check fails validation
It’s honestly nuts to think about how big of a whiff Caffeine was. Instead of just focusing on being the blockchain with the best tools and easiest agent integration, @dominic_w tried to build the AI harness and outcompete big tech, all while relying on Claude under the hood.
Completely agree.
Blockchain/crypto still works as a frictionless payment layer that 2 parties’ agents can plug into to coordinate a transaction, but Muse has proven out web2 agent PMF - people are more than willing to hand their credit card to an agent and let it go to town.
Someone help me see the positives in this. Voting rewards % trending in the right direction, but undisbursed rewards are really worrying me.
It’s all the same. And “proof of work” mining projects on $ICP burnt a ton of retail investors with zero value provided in return.
I can’t for the life of me understand why @onicaiHQ engineers would continue to promote something like FunnAI. It just sucks money from ICP retail.
BREAKING: Vitalik states that @Pumpfun has killed memecoins by turning new retail investors entering the crypto space into degenerate gamblers and with no real-world use, the industry will die fast.
He also stated that @pumpfun has been a net negative to crypto since it was released in 2024 by draining the $crypto ecosystem and turning retail into gamblers not investors.
He also said the platform is setup like a slot machine you keep clicking until your fully drained - pump ultimately wins but retail loses.
From the beginning they centralized resources, which is good to start but we never had a 2nd or 3rd entity to balance out against DFINITY.
So everyone just followed DFINITY (Dom CEO) and they built everything in house.
Many resources, spent very quickly under direction of 1 guy
One where from the start more thought was put into cultivating an ecosystem with the right people (not just airdrop/grant farmers) that had more of a stake in the outcome of the network and who were incentivized to contribute to it.
Community is 50%. DFINITY never realized that.
Big Sats.
I would have expected that to show up here, but maybe that’s only when borrows start to happen? Or maybe they don’t even use ckBTC?

A good portion of this year’s burn is still BOB and unuseful meme burn from funnai. So real burn is probably ~15-20% below the current number
