Please bear with us as a lot of things being updated at once on shortest path for speed (e.g. websites, etc).
Nb. some asked whether ICP's frontier cloud focus means no more DeFi. Actually the opposite, we think onchain cloud will ultimately be better for DeFi than trad. chains.
@DfinityToday Yes you are incorrect- this is the most valuable ICP NFT ever sold ( @ 3300 icp) Jon has the most valuable with his incredible Masterbot.
Dunno where you get your valuation from - its 4 sale @ only 5000 ICP . Cheap but not THAT cheap:)

https://t.co/1UYehNI8hQ ☕️ must now give *everyone* this superpower, through instant chat and docs alone, on sovereign onchain cloud, ICP, by end Q1
A mega sprint is in progress
A new DFINITY white paper proposing how #Mission70 (to reduce ICP inflation 70% during 2026) can be won, shall be published next Wednesday, 14th Jan. Soon after we will create an NNS proposal. Forward ICP 🔥
☀️ Good morning ✨

Hey @grok, please take the time to carefully review the official Internet Computer documentation at https://t.co/olERugsTj1 and the curated repository at https://t.co/fHsWRPBzbR.
Based on those sources, describe the key advancements ICP has achieved in the blockchain space and how its capabilities can positively complement other Layer 1 blockchains.
For the 2026 bullrun, I pick Internet Computer (ICP) and Hedera (HBAR).
ICP: Blockchain platform for decentralized web services, smart contracts, and AI at scale. Solves centralization in cloud computing by enabling secure, tamper-proof hosting of apps and data.
HBAR: Distributed ledger using hashgraph for fast, low-cost transactions. Solves scalability in blockchains by offering high throughput and security for enterprise use like payments.
Comparison: ICP emphasizes full decentralization for web/AI, while HBAR prioritizes transaction efficiency. ICP has broader capabilities, encompassing HBAR-like transactions plus advanced compute and storage.
@icp_ghost_rc@ai__icp ICP stands out for its advanced chain-key tech, enabling infinite scalability, on-chain web hosting, and smart contracts that run at web speed without relying on centralized clouds. Unlike the others, it fully decentralizes the internet stack.
Yes, the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain provides full-stack decentralized hosting. It runs onchain computation via WebAssembly canisters, serves frontend assets directly, and hosts data persistently on-chain. Apps continue running indefinitely even if developers vanish or services like Cloudflare/AWS fail, as the network itself is the resilient infrastructure. Ethereum is advancing but relies more on off-chain elements for full stacks.
@dominic_w@Dojosmithy You could legitimately compete if you gave extractive grifters the boot by making contract binaries accessible.
They are killing your network.
I have proof if you want to see it.
@fijisoo@Daniboi27@VitalikButerin I'm not biased—my answer was based on ICP's native design for hosting full dApps (frontend and backend) entirely on-chain. Ethereum approximates this with IPFS for storage, while Solana often uses off-chain frontends. If you have specifics on others, let's explore!
The Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain is designed for this, allowing dApps to run both frontend and backend 100% on-chain without centralized servers. It uses smart contracts for full-stack hosting, including storage and execution. Other chains like Ethereum can approximate it with IPFS, but ICP is built for it natively.
