odin fun is in fact not running on bob bodily's computer (as cool as that would be) it is a decentralized bitcoin app built on the internet computer protocol (icp) if you hate icp or you don't know anything about icp (you most likely fall in this camp), here is everything you need to know icp is a bitcoin sidechain that provides fantastic protocol primitives for building bitcoin apps, best of the best 1. bitcoin light node running fully onchain (utxos, balances, block headers) 2. threshold signing subnets (ecdsa, eddsa, schnorr) to sign legacy and taproot bitcoin transactions, solana, ethereum, etc 3. bitcoin bridge to leverage btc on icp (ckbtc) 4. fast finality (2 seconds) 5. cheap onchain native storage ($5/GB/year) 6. wasm-based, so you can build smart contracts with typescript, python, rust, c++, etc 7. decentralized website hosting (serve it up straight from your icp smart contract) 8. no gas fees or network fees (chain abstraction) 9. decentralized oracles and indexers 10. onchain recurring automated processes (a cron job on the blockchain) 11. onchain randomness (for all of your rng needs) we built odin fun on icp because it is the best place to build bitcoin apps, it has everything we need ✅ chain abstraction (no new token) ✅ account abstraction (login with bitcoin wallet) ✅ session keys (only sign once every 48 hours) ✅ fast finality ✅ fantastic bitcoin integration tech put it all together and you get bitcoin apps with phenomenal user experience that feel bitcoin native bitcoin defi at its finest

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the on-chain Ordinals Indexer — the latest contribution from @OmnityNetwork to the open-source community after overcoming countless engineering challenges. The Ordinals Indexer has indexed all Bitcoin blocks since genesis, utilizing nearly 200 GB of on-chain storage on the @dfinity Internet Computer (IC) — yet another testament to IC’s remarkable on-chain computation and storage capabilities. Everyone knows that Bitcoin DeFi holds enormous potential, but the lack of on-chain infrastructure has long constrained its growth. Sixteen months ago, Omnity Network released the on-chain Runes Indexer, and today, the vast majority of Runes issuance and trading activities occur on IC. In fact, ICP Chain Fusion stands as the only practical Bitcoin DeFi platform. Bitcoin DApps built on Chain Fusion offer a trustless experience with usability comparable to, or even surpassing, that of Ethereum. With today’s launch of the Ordinals Indexer, the ICP Chain Fusion infrastructure is now complete, unlocking decentralized Bitcoin NFTFi. Combined with the emerging NFT strategy trend, this opportunity could revitalize the Ordinals ecosystem. To all Bitcoin builders — now the stage is ready for creating your legends. Testing the Ordinals Indexer via the link below; additional APIs will be made available gradually. …gq6-oaaaa-aaaab-qaa4q-cai.raw.icp0.io/?id=t5v7z-6iaa…
