ICP Skills for agents that write code. 💻 Give your agent correct dependency versions, config formats, and common pitfalls — so it produces working ICP code instead of hallucinating. Works with Claude, Copilot, Cursor, and any agent that can fetch URLs. 🔗 skills.internetcomputer.org 💬 github.com/dfinity/icskil…

We've published a new Motoko map that is faster, has smaller garbage collection, and scales beyond what other maps can do! ~ mops add champ-map ~ forum.dfinity.org/t/champ-map-fo…

For 20 years, the cloud has been a walled garden. We're opening the gate.

#Mission70 update: The display issue in the new NNS dapp is fixed. Neurons that previously had the 8-year max dissolve delay should now see their 8y gang flag. Check it out: 👉 nns.internetcomputer.org

🔗 Full changelog: dashboard.internetcomputer.org/changelog

📢ICP Dashboard 6.4.0 has been released. Mission 70 on the ICP Dashboard The recent NNS Governance release reduced the max dissolve delay from 8 years to 2, scaled voting rewards by 0.6329, and made the dissolve-delay bonus quadratic. The ICP Dashboard has been updated across the Neurons, Neuron details, Governance, and ICP Tokenomics pages. Highlights shown in the screenshots: 🔹Neurons page: Shows "ICP Value Locked for 2 Years". Staked charts show dissolve delays collapsing to the new 2-year cap. 🔹Neurons table: New "8-Year Gang Bonus" filter, with an "⁸" indicator. 🔹Neuron details page: Redesigned Estimate Rewards card shows quadratic dissolve delay bonus curve. New 8-Year Gang Bonus +10% metric. 🔹Voting Rewards Function chart: Reflects the reduction in the voting rewards pool; the rate stepped down from 5.7% to 3.6% today.

New ICP Skill: HTTPS Outcalls On ICP, your smart contract can interact with the internet without the need for oracles, bridges or middlemen. That’s kind of a big deal. Here’s what the HTTPS Outcalls skill teaches your agent: ↓

Borrowing against Bitcoin - without bridging or wrapping - is now possible on ICP. @LiquidiumFi just made it happen. In this walkthrough, Robin (CEO) shows exactly how to borrow USDT on Ethereum using native Bitcoin as collateral, step by step. This is what native chain-to-chain DeFi looks like in practice. Worth watching if you're following where crypto infrastructure is heading. youtube.com/watch?v=0RUQxp…

🚀 HTTPS outcalls are now supported in TypeScript serverless functions! Give it a shot and let us know what you build. juno.build/blog/http-requ…

ICRC Index Update: Significant Cycle Optimization ♾️ Proposal 140964 has been executed, making the latest ICRC Index canister (ledger-suite-icrc-2026-03-09) available for all SNS DAOs. THE HIGHLIGHTS: 🔹 New Polling Algorithm: The index now uses an adaptive wait time. If no new blocks are received, the wait time doubles; if blocks are found, it halves. 🔹 Cost Reduction: This change significantly reduces running costs for SNS ledgers and token operators, especially those with less frequent transaction activity. 🔹 Adaptive Clamping: By default, the wait time is clamped between 1 and 10 seconds to maintain a balance between responsiveness and efficiency. 🔹 Recommendation: It is recommended that all token operators—not just SNSs—upgrade to this version to optimize cycle consumption. 🔗 Proposal Details: dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/140964

Your BTC doesn’t have to get frostbite sitting in cold storage. ❄️ A growing strategy is using BTC as collateral to access liquidity, instead of selling your position. Here’s what that can look like ↓

Docs are for humans. Skills are for agents. ICP now has Skills: machine-readable context files that prevent AI coding agents from hallucinating when building on ICP. First up: the ICP CLI 👇 1/2

Internet Computer Global R&D: March 2026 Recap 🛠♾️ The March Global R&D session is live, covering a massive range of updates from AI agent tools to network economics. THE HIGHLIGHTS: 🔹 ICP Skills Launch: 17+ agent-readable skills are now live at skills.internetcomputer.org to help coding agents build on #ICP without hallucinations. 🔹 Mission 70: The third motion has been approved to adjust rewards and cycle demand, aiming to reduce ICP inflation by 70%. 🔹 AI Agent Trust: @zCloakNetwork demonstrated the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP) for on-chain identity and encrypted messaging using vetKeys. 🔹 Internet Identity: One-click email sharing via OpenID is now live for developers, starting with @caffeineai. 🔹 New NNS Dapp: A streamlined governance UI with guided neuron creation and multi-account support is now in demo. 🔹 Technical Updates: New canister snapshot visibility settings, icp-cli safety checks, and a full root cause analysis of the recent ckBTC cache bug fix. 🔗 Watch the full session: youtube.com/watch?v=TPzfA2…

ICP cross-chain interactions recently got a lot faster ⏩ 10x faster. Here's how it was done:

A reimagined ICP governance experience is live. Today, the governance team is launching a brand-new app designed to make participating in the NNS simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Cleaner UX. Streamlined flows. Built for everyone. Why was this needed?👇
