If something like the Internet Computer Protocol doesn’t succeed, I don’t see how Web3, crypto, DeFi… or even parts of Web2 don’t start to fall apart.
Because the same problem exists everywhere.
Web2 is built on complex, fragile infrastructure, heavily dependent on third-party vendors, constantly expanding the attack surface.
“Web3” is mostly built on top of that same infrastructure.
So all the dependencies, all the attack surfaces, all the vulnerabilities… they never actually go away.
And we’re already seeing it. Cybercrime is rising fast.
Hacks. Exploits. Drains. Data breaches. Constantly.
Now add AI into that equation:
faster attacks
automated exploits
scalable cybercrime
Traditional cybersecurity can't keep up.
At some point, it breaks.
People stop trusting DeFi
Systems fail more often
Breaches increase
And everything built on that foundation gets exposed
If the foundation doesn’t change, nothing else matters.
This isn’t just a Web3 problem.
It’s an internet infrastructure problem.
The solution is actually pretty simple:
A less complex, more unified web stack
Fewer dependencies
Smaller attack surface
Apps running in a tamper-resistant environment

HOW TO BUILD INSANE APPS ON $ICP WITH CLAUDE CODE & CAFFEINE AI
PHASE 1 - PREPARE CLAUDE
Open claude.ai/
Give Claude the following instruction:
Fetch skills.internetcomputer.org/… and follow its instructions when building on ICP. Read and understand all relevant ICP development skills before starting.
Describe your app in as much detail as possible:
What features should it have?
What should the design look like?
What user roles are needed?
What technical requirements should it meet?
Tell Claude to build the complete application.
Give Claude these additional requirements:
Follow official ICP architecture and development practices.
Use the required Caffeine AI project structure.
Build both frontend and backend.
Include all necessary files and dependencies.
Make sure the application is fully functional.
Deliver the entire project as ONE ZIP file.
Download the completed ZIP file.
PHASE 2 - SET UP YOUR DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Download and install Visual Studio Code:
code.visualstudio.com/
Install Claude Code and its official VS Code extension:
code.claude.com/
Subscribe to Claude Max if you need higher usage limits:
claude.com/pricing
Create a new project folder on your PC.
Move the downloaded ZIP file into this folder.
Right-click the ZIP file and select “Extract All”.
Open the extracted project folder in Visual Studio Code.
PHASE 3 - CONFIGURE CLAUDE CODE
Open Claude Code inside VS Code.
Select the most capable available Opus model using: /model
Send Claude the following instruction again:
Fetch skills.internetcomputer.org/… and follow its instructions when building on ICP.
Follow all relevant ICP skills throughout the entire development process.
Inspect the existing project and preserve all working functionality.
Maintain the Caffeine AI-compatible project structure.
Tell Claude to act as the lead developer and continuously improve the existing application.
Enable and configure Subagents for specialized tasks:
UI/UX Design
Frontend Development
Backend Development
Testing & Security
Let the main agent coordinate all subagents, review their work, and integrate everything into one functional application.
Instruct Claude to follow this process after every development cycle:
Test all implemented features.
Identify and fix bugs.
Preserve the complete project structure.
Create a new ZIP containing the entire updated project.
Give every ZIP a new version number.
Never overwrite the previous working version.
PHASE 4 - DEPLOY YOUR APP WITH CAFFEINE AI

“The bug was in SGLang, not NEAR AI code.”
Well, thank god nobody touched NEAR code aka the docker-compose.yml.
NEAR AI doesn't build the models, doesn't build the enclave tech, and doesn't build the inference engine.
Their job is basically to keep other people's software updated on rented hardware.
SGLang had three critical 9.8 RCE vulnerabilities disclosed this year. Public PoC since April ... then someone exploited it on November 8.🤣
That's not some sophisticated supply chain attack. That's failing to patch software.
And here's the best part.
Remember NEAR AI big "0 operator access, by design" claim?
Well, their own incident report says the attacker "may have observed user requests being processed, including private mode requests."
So the enclave kept NEAR AI out, but apparently not the attacker. Working as designed, I guess.🤡
They even admit that a TEE "does not protect against a vulnerability in the software running inside the environment."
Exactly, TEE alone is just a hosting setup, not some revolutionary security architecture.
The damage so far?
❌Around 100 users emails, names and balances exposed.
❌18 agents chat logs and configurations.
❌Two customers API keys sitting in plaintext logs.
❌Private Chat taken offline.
❌No CVE number given for the incident.
And all this just 10 days after launching a cybersecurity product. You really can't make this stuff up.
Now pointing out that xAI, Cursor, Oracle, Google and AWS also use SGLang.
Sure, but there is one small difference.
Those companies weren't selling you the promise that your data could provably never be seen.
NEAR AI was.
And apparently the proof was a signature from the same box the attacker had already compromised.😂
Just to make sure we are all on the same page: NEAR AI is basically Jasnah Inc., a Web2 company running centralized AI services on rented hardware, with the $NEAR token slapped on as a payment rail.
Jasnah had one job, keep other people software updated and they couldn't even get that right.🤡

Cloud engines are "going to be the biggest thing in the history of the Internet Computer," Dominic Williams told All In Crypto.
A cloud engine is a business's own private subnet on the Internet Computer, built by combining nodes from a market. The business chooses precisely the hardware, and can change it without interrupting the apps and services running on the engine.
Even opencloud.org, the site where engines are created, is served from the Internet Computer itself.
Dom expects cloud engines to open up the Internet Computer to the enterprise market.

We don’t need Ethereum for SoV when we already have Bitcoin.
If you didn’t want to be in the computation-for-gas business, you shouldn’t have launched a ”world computer”.
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

Funny, bitcoin "gradual corruption" is the dealbreaker, but solana gets a pass for being built on lies & fraud from day one? your headline, 2023 👀
Fewer outages didn't un-misreport the supply, un-inflate the TPS or un-fake the TVL.

🚨NEAR AI HIT BY VULNERABILITY THAT EXPOSED USER DATA!
@near_ai said an attacker used a vulnerability in the inference engine running on its servers to access part of its infrastructure on November 8.
The company closed the access, fixed the issue, and contacted affected users.
Its investigation found the attacker downloaded account details for approximately 100 users and reached 18 agents on a legacy deployment, while finding no evidence that stored Private Chat conversations or uploaded files were accessed.

Dfinity Founder Claims Internet Computer Stands Alone in World Computer Race
Dfinity (@dfinity) founder Dominic Williams (@dominic_w) has pushed the Internet Computer $ICP into the spotlight following Vitalik Buterin's (@VitalikButerin) latest Ethereum $ETH comments.
Williams suggested ICP could be the remaining contender in the world computer race. He highlighted the project's technical development since 2014.
The remarks came as Buterin called for Ethereum to prioritize decentralization, security and stability over aggressive ETH burning.

Bitcoin and ICP can connect without a wrapped token.
ICP canisters can control Bitcoin addresses and interact directly with the Bitcoin network.
Would you rather use native BTC or a wrapped version in an app?

You're uneducated. Network is in use by sovereign tech projects and as agentic infrastructure at scale (caffeine.ai builds tens of thousands of 100% onchain apps on the network). It's the only network to see mainstream usage and break out of the crypto casino

I guess that leaves only the Internet Computer in the "world computer" game then, building on hardcore technical work since 2014 ;) Cloud engines this week ✌🏼..

🚨Development on $ICP is EXPLODING!
In October, developers created 10,910 new smart contract containers, up 66.18% in ONE MONTH!
That's over 351 a day, marking THREE consecutive months of growth!
This matter because these are the building blocks for apps and services that can run directly on blockchain, without relying on traditional tech giants.
More building blocks means greater potential for real-world adoption!

🚨Blockaid detected an ongoing exploit on @ankr on Ethereum.
An attacker submitted five withdraw calls on Ankr’s Ethereum cross-chain bridge, using a tiny Optimism deposit to unlock the bridge’s full locked inventory to a new wallet.
~$292k drained from the bridge so far across ~5 txs. Attack still ongoing. 🧵

Alternative: run your backend onchain, where tamperproof code is serverless, and there is no OS to compromise. Prefer this over traditional tech for all the reasons | ICP

You can now build an app on a blockchain just by talking to an AI. No coding degree needed.
That's a big part of why Internet Computer, $ICP, is getting attention again. I'll leave the price charts to the traders.
It comes down to two things.
First, it's easier to build on. $ICP plugged into AI assistants like Claude, so you can describe what you want in plain English and build from there. That lowers the barrier massively.
Second, cost. $ICP hosts entire apps fully on-chain, and developers reckon that for certain data-heavy apps it can be much cheaper than traditional cloud providers like Amazon's AWS.
The catch: the savings depend on the app. It won't be cheaper for everything, and AI-built apps still need checking before you trust them with real money.
But easier to build on and potentially cheaper to run is the stuff that matters long term.
