$ICP is going to play an increasingly central role in computing, sovereign cloud, AI and security over the coming years.
With Pakistan and UNDP already on board and pilots planned with five more governments, the shift is already happening.
This isn’t just a vision for the future. It has already begun 🤫
$ICP is so next level.
Best video so far @BlockchainPill 👏
This is how the $ICP world domination begins 🌎
In this video:
- Pakistan's ChatT goes live on #ICP
- @dfinity × @UNDP, explained by @PierreSamaties
- $85K weekly revenue per @chainspect_app
- @oisy 2.6 adds @Ripple and @RobinhoodCrypto
- A $50K Bitcoin loan via @LiquidiumFi
🚨 Most people are still sleeping on $ICP while partnerships with AWS are already in place through Cloud Engines. Check out @PierreSamaties giving more details on the upcoming Cloud Engines.

Hey @CoinMarketCap, why isn’t $ICP listed under the “Distributed Computing” category ? 👀
Your own description calls Internet Computer a decentralized general-purpose computing platform, where independent nodes provide the computing infrastructure and canisters execute computation on-chain.
Yet your Distributed Computing category currently lists projects like TAO, Render, Filecoin, BTT and others — but not ICP.
$ICP is literally designed to provide decentralized compute and host entire software systems on-chain - even AI.
What is the reason ICP isn’t included in this category? 🤔 @PierreSamaties
Why Open Cloud (Cloud Engines) could change the game for ICP completely 👀
Imagine a customer pays $1,000 for a Cloud Engine.
$1,000 USD
→ DFINITY buys $1,000 worth of ICP at the spot price
→ ICP is sent to the NNS / Cycles Minting Canister
→ the ICP is burned — permanently gone
→ the corresponding amount of Cycles is minted
Cycles are basically the fuel of the Internet Computer. They pay for compute, storage, memory and network usage. Unlike ICP, Cycles have a stable value and cannot be converted back into ICP.
The resulting Cycles are then split:
80% → Node Providers 💻
20% → Protocol fee → 🔥 BURNED
And here’s another interesting part:
The Node Providers don’t receive ICP that they could later dump on the market.
They receive Cycles, and Open Cloud says those Cycles are settled to USD monthly (or can be redeemed continuously).
So the flow is:
Customer pays $1,000 USD
→ $1,000 ICP bought on the spot market
→ ICP permanently burned
→ Cycles minted
→ 80% Node Providers / 20% Protocol
→ 20% of the Cycles burned
That creates a pretty direct link between real-world cloud usage and ICP burn.
More cloud demand → more ICP bought → more ICP burned.
And the providers get paid in USD, rather than receiving ICP that they could sell back into the market.
Of course, ICP also has inflation through protocol rewards, so the long-term supply effect depends on burn vs. minting.
But the mechanism itself is pretty interesting. 🔥
$ICP
Don’t fade and it’s multichain capabilities internet-computer:native $ADA 🤫
Sometimes I feel like people have no idea how many geniuses brought $ICP to life.
Today, let’s look at Motoko — the programming language specifically designed for the Internet Computer. 🚀
Andreas Rossberg — the genius behind WebAssembly also was the main contributor for MOTOKO — he could have built for any blockchain.
He chose the Internet Computer.
💡 Why? Because only the Internet Computer could support his vision:
A language built for WebAssembly from the ground up, with orthogonal persistence as a native feature — something no other blockchain architecture can deliver.
Motoko isn’t just another smart contract language — it’s the only one designed to run at web speed and remember everything, forever.
⚡ For @caffeineai , that’s a game-changer:
The Ai models trained on MOTOKO build, adapt and morph your webapp — without ever losing data during updates.
This is unique and not possible on any other current vibe code platform. Don’t believe me? Try it…
On $ETH, $SOL, $ADA, $SUI and every other chain, “full stack” is a myth — everything except token logic runs off-chain, glued together with fragile storage workarounds.
On ICP with Motoko, the entire stack lives on-chain — natively, persistently, and at web speed.
1. WebAssembly gives Motoko speed.
2. Orthogonal persistence gives it immortality.
3. $ICP gives it a home where it can scale to web speed — and never hit a wall.
This isn’t just bullish.
It’s the blueprint for AI-native Web3 — and ICP is years ahead. I highly recommend everybody deep dive into its tech. You will have your awakening when then comparing this to other blockchains.
Latest news on this
xitter.cf/dfinity/status/2103086…
The DFINITY Foundation is delighted to continue its partnership with the WebAssembly Research Center at Carnegie Mellon University.
DFINITY began working with WebAssembly in its early days and built the Internet Computer around it.
Over the years, our engineers have supported WebAssembly's development, sharing their experience and feedback and contributing changes that have improved several operations.
