Why does on-chain order book matter?
Because price discovery should be transparent.
Matching should be verifiable.
Execution should be deterministic.
Thatโs the direction we build toward. ๐

The internet became foundational infrastructure because it was open, interoperable, and not owned by any single company.
Today, most cloud computing runs on infrastructure controlled by a handful of hyperscalers. The Internet Computer explores a different model: a network of independent node providers running standardized hardware in data centers around the world, collectively powering applications.
If successful, compute could start to resemble the internet itself:
a network anyone can build on, and many can help run.

All, we're kicking off #Mission70
Imminently, DFINITY will post an NNS proposal to increase onchain (replicated subnet) memory costs by a measured amount.
This will immediately increase network revenues and deflationary pressure if the proposal is adopted.
We are talking to stakeholders throughout the community while finessing additional #Mission70 proposals.
We plan to hold an X Space as soon as we are ready, probably early next week.
Looking forward to the Network Nervous System doing its work, and guiding ICP / the Internet Computer on its journey towards an exciting future.
In trading systems, architecture defines trust.
If matching is off-chain, trust shifts.
If matching is on-chain, verification becomes native.
ICDex chooses the second path. ๐ง โ๏ธ

Fully on-chain order books arenโt just about transparency
They change the execution model:
โข Deterministic matching
โข Verifiable state transitions
โข No hidden relayers
ICDex is designed around this principle.

The V2 Caffeine AI Engine โ๏ธ is live ๐. We've now shifted focus to shipping V3.
Claude Code unlocked AWESOME power for vibe coders, setting a new standard. V3 will unlock the same powers those building tamperproof apps using self-writing cloud on https://t.co/IfQrVovF3L | ICP.
You can expect V3 in weeks, not months, if things continue to go to plan!! I'm super excited because I believe the transition to V3 will mark a major inflection point in the history of Caffeine, by transforming what is possible for natural-language-only self-writing cloud builders creating apps onchain through retail, entrepreneurs and SMEs, to enterprise.
For this reason, we've decided to focus on V3 rather than continue to fettle V2. It must be shipped ASAP.
Meanwhile, Caffeine's monthly active users continues to grow rapidly, with hundreds of thousands of unique builders now using the platform every month, even though our marketing and growth effort is still very early.
I cannot say more now, but we are now readying a marketing, partnerships and PR push for the advent of V3. We are transforming..
As always, our ambition is to have *millions* of builders creating dapps on ICP before the end of 2026, and I continue to believe we will achieve that.
Regarding Web3, which we feel affinity to although ICP remains a round peg in a square hole, I'm proud to say, that we have now increased the number of builders across the ecosystem by an order of magnitude in just a few months (there are now more than 10X more builders on the Internet Computer than there are on all other networks combined).
This progress is truly incredible, and I applaud everyone working behind the scenes to make that possible. For now this achievement has only received very minor recognition within the Web3 industry, because of its continuing focus on tokenization, speculation, DeFi, and metrics that are often manufactured, like TVL and exchange volume.
But, it remains the case, that when people like me actually pioneered the "world computer" vision more than a decade ago now, in my own case by working on new applied cryptography and repurposing techniques from classical distributed computer science for the decentralized network setting, the aim was *always* to enable crypto networks to provide a revolutionary new kind cloud platform.
We saw that fully onchain tamperproof apps that ran safely without traditional cybersecurity protections, which were guaranteed to run, and many other things, including new forms of serverless software that combined logic and data, could be incredibly valuable across the board โ and provide mainstream value that has nothing to do with tokens and speculation.
In fact, many early founders, and people like me, especially those associated with the early Ethereum project 2014-15, once saw tokenization as a use case for true world computers (essentially, onchain cloud), rather than the defining purpose of crypto networks.
Today, 90%+ of those building on ICP's onchain self-writing sovereign cloud come from mainstream backgrounds, and are primarily interested in *what* they can build, whether their apps will be tamperproof and sovereign, and AI agents updating their apps within guardrails that guarantee app data cannot be lost, and so on.
This is the first time that there has been mass market adoption of crypto network functionality that does not involve tokens and speculation. Caffeine will turn on Web3 functionality for builders soon, but currently they cannot access ICP's trustless multichain capabilities โ for which reasons, obviously, the overwhelming majority are not building on ICP because it's a "new kind of blockchain."
For these reasons, ICP has now clearly delivered the first genuine mass market breakthrough for crypto networks since tokens and DeFi. But for people like me, this is simply going back to the future. It was this that brought us to crypto in the first place, not tokens and pure speculation.
We wanted to use decentralized networks and advanced computer science to deliver breakthrough utility that addressed seminal tech challenges including security and resilience, enabling autonomous software, sovereignty, and reducing the cost of creating and maintaining apps. In recent years, the intersection of this technology with AI has become a major area of work.
Soon, the ICP ecosystem's transition to the mainstream world will be further catalyzed by "cloud engines." Announcements are also approaching regarding other major advances and developments, particularly relating to sovereign cloud and AI.
Self-writing, and soon sovereign cloud, have provided ICP with a springboard into the $1 trillion revenue-a-year cloud market, and it will continue to grow from here.
We will to make "The Network is The Cloud" paradigm an important part of the cloud market, and we will begin change how the world understands crypto networks in the process.
2026 will be a huge year for ICP.
