ICP

paidzesthumor

I don’t think you understood my observations so permit me to rephrase with two rhetorical questions: 1) Why would a privacy tool, in and of itself, now enable a corporation to use ICP in a GDPR compliant if the use case did not involve storing personal information on the blockchain to begin with? 2) Conversely, if a corporation is using ICP to store personal information on the blockchain, how is the datastore both immutable / tamper resistant as well as capable to “delete data” to be GDPR compliant? In either case, it is arguable that data privacy was not, and still is not, the core GDPR compliance question for the enterprise. Therefore it strikes me as odd to claim that a new privacy tool now makes it possible for a corporation to use ICP for customer data in a GDPR compliant manner.

If they hit a capacity problem ICP would just rent on Public Cloud. The head honcho basically said it already. Which is a counter narrative for the past 5 years..

Sassy_Allen

You’re right that someone has to pay. That’s true of any hosting model. The real question is whether decentralized hosting provides enough value to justify the cost in certain use cases. ICP isn’t trying to undercut AWS on raw storage price, it’s trying to restructure trust and control.

lehope

I have a huge bag with ICP and have been buying out of FOMO every time I hear Dominic talking about the tech. But at this point, when he keeps talking about price manipulation 5 years after launch and 4 years after FTX collapse, I start to lose faith. I won't burn any more money in ICP and don't care anymore about missing 10 or 100x.

“Would adjust accordingly” is doing some major heavy lifting. The onboarding process is slow. Its permissioned. And it is subject to outside market forces (ie if bitcoin crashes, will node operators demand more ICP or bite the bullet) Somebody in this equation will be taking a financial hit. Either the content creators pay to upload videos. Or users pay to watch said videos. Or the app operators subsidize upload costs. Also, as you probably know, storage is not a one-time fee, you have to pay for X amount of cycles. So somebody has to pay to keep the video on the network indefinitely. There needs to be innovations in storage costs completely outside of blockchains for this to be economically feasible.

Sassy_Allen

It depends how it’s built. ICP doesn’t force you to store personal data publicly or permanently. You can design systems that encrypt or delete data. Compliance is about architecture, not just whether it’s a blockchain.

Citadel_Employee

Yes you can add new subnets, but that’s easier said than done. Capacity increases only if governance approves new subnets, node providers supply expensive, permissioned hardware. That makes scaling slow, political, and capital-gated. It’s still in the novelty “cool” phase with only a handful of applications and already requires data center grade hardware. Let’s pretend ICP did take off, again how would it scale economically? The hardware to run something like YouTube would cost more than any revenue said app could provide. Would all the nodes happily take a capital loss out of the goodness of their hearts?

Sassy_Allen

ICP scales by adding independent subnets, each functioning as its own blockchain with its own nodes. Capacity grows horizontally through governance. You can debate the decentralization tradeoffs, but the scaling mechanism is clearly defined.

Citadel_Employee

No ICP holder can ever explain how the nodes will scale.

ICP had years to deliver and failed to execute in any meaningful way. It will be a dead coin in 2 years. Sell your bags and accept the rugpull.

Post is by: Sassy_Allen and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://internetcomputertoday.substack.com/p/the-black-box-subnet-is-here-icp Proposal 140407 has passed, creating the first TEE-enabled subnet. Here is why "hardware-rooted trust" is the missing link for enterprise adoption. The News A massive fundamental upgrade just went live on the Internet Computer. Proposal 140407 has successfully executed, creating the network's first TEE-enabled subnet. Starting with a cluster of 7 nodes, this subnet represents a transition from "software-based security" to "hardware-rooted trust." For the first time, canisters (smart contracts) on this subnet can operate in a state of Full Confidentiality—keeping their internal data hidden not just from the public, but from the very nodes that run the code. What is a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)? To understand why this matters, you have to understand the "Dirty Little Secret" of traditional cloud and blockchain computing. Normally, when a server processes your data, it has to decrypt it in the CPU's memory (RAM) to work on it. At that specific moment—while the data is "in use"—it is vulnerable. A malicious cloud admin or a compromised node provider could, theoretically, take a "snapshot" of the memory and see your passwords, private keys, or proprietary algorithms in plain text. A TEE changes the rules.Think of a TEE (specifically AMD SEV-SNP technology used here) as a cryptographic black box inside the CPU. * Encryption in Use: Data is decrypted only inside the processor die. * Isolation: Even the operating system and the person owning the hardware cannot peek inside. * Remote Attestation: The network can cryptographically verify that the code running inside is exactly what it claims to be, with no tampering. Why This Changes Everything for ICP The Internet Computer is already unique because it hosts the entire app on-chain. But until now, hosting highly sensitive data (like medical records, institutional trading strategies, or private user messaging) required you to trust the honesty of the decentralized node providers. With TEEs, that trust assumption is removed. You no longer need to trust the Node Provider; you only need to trust the Hardware. Massive Use Cases Unlocked: 1. True Private AI: You can run an AI model on-chain where the user's prompt and the model's weights remain invisible to the node operators. 2. Enterprise Compliance: Corporations that legally cannot put customer data on a public blockchain (due to GDPR or HIPAA) can now use TEE subnets to prove data privacy. What’s Next? Currently, this is a dedicated test environment. It is running with 7 nodes (fewer than the standard 13, because TEEs offer higher individual security) and is "authorized-only" to ensure stability before opening the floodgates. However, the roadmap is clear. As DFINITY developers gather operational experience, we can expect this to roll out as a standard option for developers. Soon, when you deploy a canister, you might simply check a box: "Do you want this to run on a public subnet or a confidential TEE subnet?" The "World Computer" just got its own private wing. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; The Internet Computer (ICP) has launched its first TEE-enabled subnet, marking a shift to confidential computing. This upgrade uses AMD SEV-SNP technology to ensure data remains encrypted and isolated, even from node operators. It enables canisters (smart contracts) to operate with full confidentiality, unlocking use cases like private AI and enterprise compliance with data privacy laws. Currently in a test phase with 7 nodes, this innovation removes trust in node providers, relying instead on hardware security. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I understand that most projects are struggling but ADA seems to not have any momentum anymore. I don't it ever dominating discussions again. I would rather focus on projects that are still building in the AI and DePIN world. TAO, RENDER, ICP, AIOZ. Just to name a few.

AInception

Computers are glorified spreadsheets. Definitionally: "an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program" You can run a process every X interval on Ethereum. Using the timestamp of the latest block or by counting blocks to dictate execution. Additionally EIP 5007 and EIP 721 are token standards whose functions only work under set time conditions. It's also trivial to use decentealized incentives to manage time, keepers keep even ICP running. However, it's rarely a desired function outside of say lotteries so it's a strange holdup imo. >I have been wondering why they don't have a big DeFi ecosystem yet. ICP's ICO was a scam and tokenomics make it centralized. It really damaged its reputation out of the gate. You need extremely high trust for DeFi to deploy somewhere. Once the VCs give up control it should happen naturally.

Despite everything, Doge is still around and in the top 10, with a strong community and it is actually being actively used . While many “serious projects” whose holders considered doge trash , are now gone downhill with no hopes of ever recovering such as LRC, ICP, EOS . But the real winner of this bear market is Tron. That thing took the bear market to the chin and barely flinched compared to the rest alts .

I know what ICP is, this doesn't answer my question. ETH rethinking scaling via L2 reflects positively on chains that focused on scaling the L1, like Solana, because those are pretty much opposite approaches. Now do it for ICP. Fill in the blanks: "ETH rethinking scaling via L2 reflects positively on ICP because ___________________"

I am biased but I really do recommend that you read into ICP and it being the world computer. Ethereum is trying to rebrand itself as that and it on a technical level cannot do that.

You think ICP will ever bounce back? Seems like they are stuck at 4 bucks per coin since forever

Nomski88

HBAR, ICP and Nerva (XNV)

Sassy_Allen

Solana benefits from the “L2 fatigue” narrative as a high throughput transaction chain, but ICP benefits from it as a full stack world computer. Those aren’t the same category.

jawni

Plenty of coins don't need subnetworks to work, why would you immediately think ICP would be the beneficiary? If anything this is bullish for chains like Solana, who are already having a lot of success with a scalable monolithic L1 or it's bullish for L2s who are more purpose-built for novel usage rather than general purpose scaling. It's definitely bearish ETH, but I don't see why ICP would benefit any more than any other chain and I don't see how Solana wouldn't be the greatest beneficiary of this narrative change.

Sassy_Allen

So ICP? ICP doesnt need any other coin to work.

>ADA Community is not on Reddit. Well I don't know who else would be commenting in /r/cardano if not the ADA community, especially since this thread is making it pretty obvious that any people with negative opinions are being banned. >It's somewhere between X and GitHub. lol thanks for the laugh. Relatively speaking the Cardano community on X is large compared to here, but that's only because X in general has a much larger crypto community then reddit. Relative to other altcoins, Cardano is easily one of the biggest alt communities here, or at least it's been that way from 2017 to recently. I've noticed it drop off a bit in the last year or so, but it's pretty obvious that there is a pro-Cardano bias in this sub compared to other alts. It's the only altcoin that ever has posts about minor protocol upgrades or really just any largely inconsequential shit that still gets upvoted. Any other alt coin, even with major news, will rarely get upvoted and rarely have positive comments. If you're ranking the bias of altcoins from positive to negative in this sub it goes: ETH, then ADA, then a big gap, then ALGO/DOT, then ICP/HBAR, and then you have a massive gap and it's SOL being mostly hated, then another massive gap and it's the purely hated projects like BSC, XRP, TRX, etc.

I will never understand why charts turn people off so much. But look at what $ICP is building. Look at what the Swiss just did opening a national subnet. There is a mass exodus incoming from legacy web2 infrastructure. The sad reality is, not many chains are designed to standalone and provide the same level of web services. Only a few others, but I haven’t actually seen the others “working” at scale. I’ve seen websites, videos, AI models being run on-chain, off legacy servers owned primarily by Gov interests through corporate proxies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, FB.. Nobody is ready for the real conversation, but now you’ll see there’s a subset of people already working on your concern.

professionalfumblr

Pretty simple if you did any amount of research beyond chart watching. Internet Computer is the evolution of ethereum, and is already what ethereum is trying to be..a “world computer”. You can run full stack applications on ICP, that are fully on the blockchain..unlike every other blockchain that claims to do this, but then uses AWS to host frontend or backend code. It is by far the most advanced project in the entire space, and is a true web3 solution. The closest competitor to this project is NEAR, and they also rely on web2 dependencies.

MrKillerKiller_

All these do use regular URLs so if their govt blocks regular run of the mill URL…bye bye 👋. ICP is an actual full web3 tech as everything front end and all is hosted natively, outside of anyone’s control. If all internet and urls and aws servers disappeared, ICP could still transact Bitcoin and everything else.

I would read and learn more about ICP. Head over to r/icptrader and take a look. ICP has true decentralized AI. Nvidia, AMD, and Google are going to be at the ICP conference tomorrow. There is a rumor that HBAR and ICP's partnership includes Google using ICP's canisters for things. People are sleeping on ICP because they get marketed to being told other blockchains are decentralized when in reality they are just decentralized ledgers with everything else off chain. ICP is the full stack onchain. Ethereum is trying to rebrand itself as the "World Computer" but the problem for them is that ICP already is that and by design Ethereum can't actually be fully onchain.....Vitalik rejected Dominic Williams's vision for Ethereum so Dominic went and created ICP.

Post is by: Sassy_Allen and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1qc1j7o/mission_70_and_accelerating_the_internet_computer/ Today, Dominic Williams and DFINITY dropped the Mission 70 whitepaper, laying out a big shift in ICP’s tokenomics. A lot of people are asking whether deflation and increased usage would actually move the price. In simple terms, deflation plus real demand should create upward pressure, that’s just supply and demand. Mission 70 aims to cut ICP issuance while increasing burn through onchain usage via cycles. What matters is paid usage that actually consumes cycles, not demos, testnets, or grant funded experiments. This doesn’t flip a switch overnight, there’s always a lag and plenty of volatility. Lower inflation also changes expectations, and markets often price that in early. Reduced issuance won’t eliminate sell pressure from early holders, stakers, or node operators. But it does remove constant dilution that’s been holding price discovery back. If burn eventually outpaces issuance, higher prices become the logical outcome rather than hype.

Sad-Dinner-2806

I am not sure how they will go in the future regarding price action but TAO and ICP are two of the most intresting projects in crypto. I mainly hold TAO but recently started deep diving into ICP again. It is actually an amazing incredible technology doing things that no other blockchain chain can do. It actually out completes every thing on the market . SBF trying to destroy it and Vitalik first saying it is one of the projects leading the edge of the space and calling it a competitor before realising and calling it a sister block chain to down play it made me even more bullish. Plus Definity is located in Switzerland. I am interested to see how their neutral stance affects ICP in the world. My theory has but what the ai will integrate with and buy in the future. It is what lead me to these two projects. Along with SPX6900 and Unicorn Fart Dust as my meme coin plays. I don’t believe every thing is locked in place like they are telling us it is.

Xintesh

No that's the whole ICP point, there is 0 dependance to aws or big tech companies, subnetworks are split among several countries, you can switch subnet if needed, tamperproof thanks to the tech (data on the nodes are replicated and encrypted, only accessible if the code allow it, so no external peek possible), non censurable, offer a web2 experience for users (you'll never know if a website is hosted on ICP network or AWS), privacy with internet identity, can do inter crypto network transfert natively without L2, can be used to create privacy coin... etc etc. When you go down the rabbit hole, nothing compare, not even close. You want the real web 3, that's ICP.

dr_tardyhands

When you say it can replace existing cloud service providers, how exactly does this work? Like let's say I want to run some task on a beefy EC2 instance on AWS. What would be the equivalent via ICP? Where does the computing take place..?

Sassy_Allen

ck tokens are a game changer. Unironically, ck tokens are fundamentally better than wrapped tokens, and the only thing wrapped tokens have over ck tokens right now is liquidity. Other blockchains can’t do what ICP is doing with ck tokens. ICP is on a completely different level here. I'm excited to see which other centralized exchanges follow MEXC.

Longjumping-Bonus723

Thanks for the write up very friendly. Generally I agree but the staking things is bad from a tax POV. In some countries you only have to pay tax for staking rewards if you sell them before holding one year staking. This gives me more flexibility to sell/swap without paying taxes eg in Germany. Also often staking is not liquid which I hate. Could have swapped my ICP into HBAR when it pumped 100% in a few days but it was locked. And still it is still possible to get dilluted away if token has inflation that is bigger than your staking rewards. But thx for the explanation

holding above key support levels. 49 on the fear-greed scale. stop looking at the charts multiple times per day. give it time and let key support zones make your decision. - SOL was $116 recently and is near $140 now - eth was hovering around $2600 - $2800 for weeks, is now holding above its $3200 support zone - ICP was $2.66, now holding above $3.20 - **KEY FACTOR** Pullbacks are good. You don’t want it to do nothing but moon. Holding above support zones is what you want, and if BTC breaks $95k - $96k - we could be looking at a true bull run

Post is by: InsidersBets and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1q3f88u/solana_microcap_trn_tied_to_a_real_stormwater/ I’ve been scanning low-cap Solana tokens recently, mostly finding the usual quick pumps and fades, but Terrain Token ($TRN) made me stop and look closer. It’s linked to Carolina Terrain, a licensed North Carolina contractor (License CL.1872, site: carolinaterrain.com) that’s been operating since about 2022. They handle actual stormwater and drainage work - things like French drains, erosion control, and grading for properties with runoff issues from clay soil. The X account (@carolinaterrain) posts frequent updates with real job photos mixed in with project teases. They’re aiming for a full-stack ecosystem around the business: • TerrainVision AI: Free tool for uploading photos to get analysis on water flow, erosion risks, and rough repair estimates. • Stormwaterscm.com: Site focused on compliance inspections and maintenance for regulated stormwater systems. • Terrain Guard: Uses ICP for permanent, immutable records of work, warranties, and compliance tracking. • $TRN on Solana: For rewards, premium features, and burns tied to usage. • Planned: Drainage Academy for training and certifications. A founder posted a thorough breakdown on LinkedIn recently:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/unlocking-full-terrain-ecosystem-ai-compliance-blockchain-alex-purdy-30qre Current numbers (early January 2026 - check DexScreener for latest): • MC/FDV around 10K • Liquidity around 10K • Price about 0.00001 • CA: 2L1xfpJ56tjevGzqzDCqxvuAgU4pDZL166hKQSeKpump The angle that interests me is the potential RWA play in a solid niche market - stormwater management is multibillion-dollar in the US, pushed by regulations and increasing flood risks. The integrated flow (diagnose with AI, execute installs, inspect for compliance, track on chain, reward with token) could generate real value if it gains traction beyond their own operations. Downsides are clear: liquidity is tiny, adoption evidence is limited so far, established players own the geospatial space, and blending crypto with a licensed service business carries regulatory risk. Not heavily in it myself, just tracking because the real-world foundation feels rarer these days. Anyone else researched this? See upside in infrastructure-focused RWAs, or think it’s headed nowhere?

They’re only shifting to adoption now - meaning only now are they focusing on better apps, cross compatibility, marketing, etc. They spent a lot of time building the tech (and still are) but spent virtually zero time marketing it whatsoever. That’s pretty impressive that a coin is top 50 without any marketing out there. Adoption takes time though, I wouldn’t expect it to be mooning for at least a couple years because it takes a good 1-2 years to really pick up on those. But once it does, it has potential that solana once had (maybe not to the degree of reaching $100+) but there’s no reason to deny the possibility of it reaching at least $30-$50 in the next few years

BTC/ETH/ICP/LINK Maybe XRP & XLM.

its a paradigm shift of what kind of conputation a blockchain can handle. Bitcoin showed us that money is basically security powered by generated electricity through hardware. Money = computation. Basic blockchains are ledgers that offload most of the conputation outside of the blockchain environment because they are not designed to hold the largest piece of the computation through consensus. So most of the electricity is consumed outside and not for the blockchain's operations. So most of the operations don't bring money to the chain. ICP hosts the whole sum of dApp operations ( storage, frontend, backend, communication with the web and other chains). Value returns back to the network.

For me ICP is the one chain is primed to stand out and be the next big thing. AI is running on chain, caffeine is building secure apps without the traditional tech stack. It offers a new secure way of running applications. It’s very early days but it could massive, it just needs to break out of what people think Crypto is and can do. I work for one of the main cloud vendors and see ICP as an exciting new technology that could run a large part of the internet in a better way.

I think privacy, self hosting blockchain and computation is where I made a bet. ICP has these capabilities and I don’t know which other chains. It can host the entire blockchain ecosystem combined!

What I would do. And actually did like 2 years ago or so was sell all my alts and just buy Bitcoin. By the time even if an alt does well you have 3 or 4 others that are doing so bad it is almost impossible to win. I had tons of alts do well ETH did a 3x, ADA a 3x , CONE did like an 8x, MOONS did like a 3x I think, a few others I can't remember. But with ICP, ATOM and DOT destroying a lot of my other gains. I would've been WAY better just keeping it simple and buying BTC

ICP is one of the only projects that runs 100% fully on chain. Doesn’t use any 3rd party cloud providers. If AWS or cloudflare is down, ICP is up. It has a fully functional AI model called Caffeine AI, that’s a vibe coding platform whose apps are 100% on chain, are unhackable & every day users can create websites with 0 knowledge in web development. It has next generation technology. A real life technology that everyone can use.

why ICP?

ICP guys, if you leave the abysmal price chart for a second and understand what it is you cant look at crypto the same way ever again. Basically most chains are ledgers processing transactions. ICP is a network of subnets running applications end to end, not just their financial archive and dapp logic.

They said they got the data from TokenTerminal, and it doesn't match TokenTerminal's data for most Txs: 1. ICP 2. Solana (non-vote) 3. Ethereum L1 + L2s 4. BSC and Tron tied

LINK, ONDO & ICP. All on stake.

Most unlocks will cause price to go down but look at SOL, a constant stream of unlocks and FTX staking dumps but memecoin casino scum kept lapping it up. The only presumption to be made is that enough hype around a project can counteract the unlocks, but very very few projects ever gain that hype. Look at the first 4 years of the ICP chart to see the typical outcome of aggressive unlocks. I've no idea why people bought it at all for the first few years, anybody who bought it on the first day, month or year was certifiably insane. Now the look of that chart puts everybody off of it despite no more unlocks & despite the technology. Monad's FDV is more than 10x higher than its current market cap, so by buying now you're making a bet that it will *at the very least* outperform enough to reach its FDV once max supply is circulating.

Congrats on your DEX. It currently is ranked 107 in 24 hour volume across all chains. Maybe one day it will surpass the likes of IoteX, Icon, Iota, Fuse, Supra, Lisk, taiko, blast, ICP, moonbeam, or about 100 other shitty chains that still have more volume and users than your absolute shit chain XRPL currently has It’s a piece of shit. https://defillama.com/chains

You should do more research. Bitcoin doesn’t need to have functionality when it can be a store of value. There are a few projects serving that need such as STX (Stacks), and ICP which are capable of acting is L2s for bitcoin. Using bitcoins secure network but improving block time and transaction speeds, lower fees, etc just like MATIC was for ETH.

That's exactly how it works, ckBTC is an ICRC token on ICP that's backed 1:1 with real BTC. The backing is where the chain-key cryptography comes in, as it allows the ckBTC contract to actually hold the Bitcoin natively. The ICP ledger is what manages ckBTC balances for users, which allows it to be integrated with DeFi on ICP. If I have a ckBTC balance on ICP and the private key corresponding to that ICP address is compromised, then the attacker can transfer my ckBTC away from me. The chain-key cryptography means that those ckBTC are backed by real BTC, but that doesn't help me if I no longer control the tokens.

Zarigis

You're talking about how the BTC keys are stored, which makes no difference if someone is able to steal my ckBTC tokens because my ICP private key was stolen.

Zarigis

Ah yes, somehow ICP is going to protect us from having our private keys stolen. Please share more of your boundless wisdom.
