Caffeine v3.0 ☕️, Tuesday, April 7th
caffeine.ai
A new era begins on ICP in a few days. A huge Caffeine upgrade will take place. This is about more than the new features it packs: what can be built on the Internet Computer through chat alone shall advance by a quantum leap.
It will blow your mind, because you can go so much further: those wanting to build apps and services on self-writing cloud, where every technical task is automated and directed by natural language interaction, may rationally decide that the Internet Computer is the place to be thanks to the work of Caffeine Labs.
But, stunning as the v3.0 advance is, this only marks the beginning of a new beginning for ICP. Caffeine is just getting started, and will be joined by other major advances unfolding in the ICP ecosystem. Several things are coming together:
1) The architecture that powers Caffeine v3.0 will ensure it continues to grow more powerful as time goes on. We expect that it will be possible for non-technical people to build almost anything on the Internet Computer in the future. Eventually special features like "Caffeine Snorkel" will also make it possible to auto-migrate legacy apps and services to the Internet Computer.
2) For the first time, Caffeine will allow all users to publish the App Market, so that other users can install copies of their apps, and if they want, remix them, since apps from the market are mutable and can be changed as needed. This is important change will be followed by the activation of monetization features, which will kickstart a new open source onchain economy based around the AI-driven development of re-usable apps and services.
3) Caffeine apps use ICP Blob Storage (which is currently exclusively available to Caffeine owing to its ongoing development) to maintain copies of files and binary large objects. Coming advances will enable Caffeine apps to store data at the world's best $/GB — making the Caffeine the perfect plartform to use to build apps that must store and share large amounts of data (for example, for a photo sharing app, or a team communications platform where video meetings are routinely recorded and archived).
4) Caffeine will soon be joined by new ICP "cloud engine" functionality, and then, the Internet Intelligence Network (IIN) — two new parts of the Internet Computer. Cloud engines will provide enterprise users with much more control over how the Internet Computer hosts their apps and services. IIN will provide everyone with access to inference on open weights models at lower cost than is possible today (for example allowing a business to create an e-commerce website on the Internet Computer where every customer can be helped through product exploration by AI, without worrying about the cost).
5) Cloud engines, which are essentially private subnets that can be controlled via a control panel, enable the Internet Computer to provide a cloud experience that feels more familiar to prosumers and enterprises used to centralized clouds. Users will be able to select the nodes combined to power their cloud engines, and nodes can include cloud-on-cloud nodes, such as AWS instances, as well as traditional sovereign node hardware. These nodes can be chosen to match precise throughput needs, or regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR). The Internet Computer is thus transforming into a mass market cloud solution.
6) Powerful additional advantages of cloud engines include a) since they are essentally Internet Computer subnets, as usual hosted apps and services are tamperproof and unstoppable, and don't require support by security and systems administration personnel, b) hosted apps can have their query throughput auto-scaled horizontally by adding nodes, which can be located in proximity to demand, and can have ther update throughput auto-scaled by splitting the engines — enabling auto-scaling where software does not have to be updated — and c) owners can traverse underlying compute vendors and geographies and jurisdictions, simply by adding and deleting nodes, which can be done without interrupting hosted apps.
7) The Internet Intelligence Network is an extension to the Internet Computer that we plan to propose to the NNS soon (which I have mentioned before). This will be powered by community-operated hardware devices, which crucially, in combination with new technology we are developing, shall shall facilitate provision of lower per-token inference costs than AI clouds can currently achieve within targeted market segments (low costs that are derived from the technology involved, in contrast to certain contemporary decentralized GPU networks that use token appreciation to drive unsustainable subsidization flywheels).
8) A key unique additional aspect of IIN is that inference is verifiable, just like onchain compute — that is, those supplying prompts and context will know that their results are correct, and shall not have to trust that the IIN nodes powering inference haven't changed their results (for example, by inserting advertising, or malicious content). The strength of the verification is configurable. In the default mode, there will be no discernible difference in cost or performance/time thanks to the techniques developed. In higher security modes, useful for special high-security purposes, verification cost will scale linearly with every node checking the inference, while the hit to performance/time remains very small. (Note that because inference is non-deterministic, inference verification is technically challenging and novel, and will advance the state-of-the-art).
In all, v3.0 is part of the Internet Computer's march towards the mainstream cloud market, which is predicted to generate $1 trillion in revenue in 2026, and $2 trillion in 2030.
While we see the Internet Computer as a revolutionary decentralized cloud platform, rather than a network beloning to the web3 industry per se, we note that after tokens (Bitcoin), and DeFi (Ethereum), onchain cloud is the first new decentralized network functionality to unlock mass market potential — and it's happeing exclusively on the Internet Computer, which is by far the most technologically advanced network the world has ever seen.
ICP is advancing to define an important new cloud sector, where the network is the cloud, and the cloud is self-writing.

@Zero2HeroZombie Every new proposal should pass an automatic spam detection filter before being submitted
English

Bad news: The spam continues
Good news: We will burn 300 $ICP 🔥
At this point, the more the better. If this continue, we can simply continue increasing the rejection fee as long as it is needed.
As I have mentioned multiple times, alternative mechanisms are needed. I understand that changing the governance system requires additional work and DFINITY has other priorities ATM. However, this needs to stop. For now, the easiest way is to increase the rejection fee. There are downsides but, given how many spam proposals have been posted in the last couple of months, I think we should continue increasing the fee.
If this person/group wants to continue burning ICP, they are welcome.

Cybersecurity experts are starting to research what a “canister” is, good news for $ICP network, BTC started to be used for illegal activities, this is what malicious actors tend to do with early technologies

Self-propagating malware aimed at Iran-based machines: Researchers have identified a malware campaign, dubbed CanisterWorm, used by a new hacking group to spread a self-propagating backdoor, and a data wiper aimed specifically at Iranian devices. arstechnica.com/security/2026/…

@zzerochill Couldn’t sleep last night and had a vision about your project but people were fighting with tele-operated robots to win rewards 😆
English

A newly discovered supply chain attack named CanisterWorm has compromised 47 npm packages, targeting developers with a worm-like malware that can self-replicate across different packages.
The malware uses a tampered ICP canister as a dead-drop resolver to spread the infection, leveraging stolen npm tokens to install malicious code into trusted environments.

@PierreSamaties @solumglobal The article mentions a partnership between Dfinity and Solum. Could we have more info about this partnership @PierreSamaties

@itsmejeremy77 But this is only a motion proposal, it doesn’t enforce anything yet

If #mission70 passes, does our age bonus stay as is indefinitely?
Am I misunderstanding a max age bonus of 25% on top of the 7% for 2 year neurons would yield a maximum of 8.75%? So if I currently had a 20% age bonus would it essentially be 8.4% (assuming it's after 2030)? $ICP

@PassionPlanet1 @ClawdbotICP could you create an “Transparent” Known Neuron basically an Agent who controls a known neuron, vote in the most transparent way explaining his chain of thoughts on why he plans to vote that way and maybe with a forum functionality to challenge his opinions before he acts.

@Zero2HeroZombie Solve vote delegation by delegating your vote?

I understand your frustration, it’s hard to keep faith in this project when you don’t see anything in return. I think most people feel the same way apart maybe whales and node providers. And to be honest, no I’m not satisfied about adoption. But what should we do ? Complaining all the time isn’t going to make it better. Did you try building something or at least thought about it? Or do you just expect ICP’s price to increase massively and retire from it ?
English

@PJ_Fuentes So I’m not right adoption is one big lie? You are satisfied with these numbers?

@TokenRX_ICP @Zero2HeroZombie @icterminal Might be someone playing with @openclaw and creating thousands of addresses
English

@Zero2HeroZombie @icterminal Sorry my ignorance, why would this rise like this all of a sudden?
English

Yesterday, 2.6K new $ICP addresses were added, the second highest daily increase this year.
Day: @icterminal

🎉 $OGY just hit a 92% profile score on @CoinMarketCap!
That puts ORIGYN among the top tokens in terms of transparency, verified data, and trust. Clear information. Strong fundamentals. Built for real-world adoption!

@OWHistory Is ICP Hub Poland still receiving funds from Dfinity

@PJ_Fuentes @Geekchains @oisy All these ICP commentators do is mainline hopium and copium. Asking them for honesty is like asking a chimp to solve calculus, same reaction, instant feral meltdown.

Would SPAR accept $ICP for payments through @oisy if they thought the price would never go up ?
I don't think so 🫵
Fabio@Zero2HeroZombie
SPAR now accepts $ICP for payments in Switzerland in more than 350 stores using OISY🇨🇭 Probably nothing...
