Many people are asking: what happened to ICP?
As a project team that has been building on ICP for over two years, here’s a simple summary:
1️⃣ ICP implemented Passkey login years ago — the smoothest user experience in Web3.
2️⃣ Each app has its own address, so there’s no risk of one bad approval draining your wallet. Best protection for newcomers.
3️⃣ Reverse gas model — users don’t need to pay gas in ICP to transfer or interact. Truly seamless UX.
4️⃣ Highest TPS in the industry (up to 210,000). On-chain transfers confirm in seconds. Try withdrawing ICP from a CEX and see how fast it lands.
5️⃣ ICP smart contracts can generate signatures, meaning they can hold and control assets from any other blockchain.
6️⃣ Contracts can read any web data directly, acting as built-in, free oracles.
7️⃣ Contracts can write to external services, and every action is protected by network consensus.
8️⃣ Massive on-chain storage — store tens of GBs in one contract. Cost? About $5 per GB per year.
9️⃣ ICP apps are fully on-chain, including the frontend — immune to hacks or takedowns.
🔟 ICP runs a full BTC node natively, enabling seamless BTCFi through ckBTC.
11️⃣ The newest flagship product, https://t.co/RKep3LXu9r, lets anyone build Web3 apps by chatting — no coding required.
12️⃣ ICP contracts can hold tokens from all major chains, enabling cross-chain DeFi and limitless creativity.
13️⃣ ICP has a built-in identity-based encryption system, supporting large-scale private data storage directly on-chain.
14️⃣ ICP’s team includes some of the world’s top cryptographers — authors of protocols like BLS and Groth16 work at DFINITY.
15️⃣ ICP champions true decentralized governance — the SNS system turns token-holder votes directly into contract upgrades.
16️⃣ ICP has long been suppressed by certain VCs and media, but while the price can be pushed down, the tech remains unmatched.
17️⃣ Ethereum and other blockchains are ledgers; ICP is the real world computer.
18️⃣ ICP is the Crypto Cloud. ☁️

JUST IN: DFINITY FOUNDATION JOINS THE UN'S BLOCKCHAIN ADVISORY GROUP, $ICP IS NOW WORKING WITH THE UNITED NATIONS TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT.
It's actually internet-computer:native that has the best cryptographers, and security engineers in the world, focused on it 24/7, auditing and battle testing it
I'd love to see how the $ZEC team compares to this
@PierreSamaties was speaking in Paris at the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group today.
Here's a great clip of him speaking in Paris last year on how @dfinity got given the nickname NASA of decentralisation and how $ICP are building the 1ST WORLD COMPUTER!
Soon I will demonstrate how AI can be "inside" an arbitrary ICP app, service or website built using the latest Motoko, understanding all its data, analysing it any way you want, and taking actions, without need for one special line of code. Insane and groundbreaking.
