1/ The Internet Computer may replace Chainlink as the premier provider of secure oracles to the blockchain space (and possibly the world). That's right, by the end of Q1 2022 the IC will be capable of hosting extremely simple, efficient, secure oracles:

1/ I've finally finished my #supplygate script. Focusing on issuance, I've diligently compared my implementation with the Ethereum Yellow Paper and major clients. I've also gathered as many other supply scripts as I know of. It is very well-documented.

The wider world of Ethereum supporters is starting to take notice of the Internet Computer. Many will be skeptical at first (I still am to some degree), but the technology and applications built will speak for themselves and be undeniable. It's best not to ignore what's coming.

Thank you DFINITY. We have the chain key paper, we have the consensus paper, and we have a ton of source code. We also have at least one live app running. Anyone who wants to evaluate the IC is better equipped than ever. I've had many thoughts about the IC, will share them

1/ Remember that Ethereum Archival Canister? The demo is ready for you to use: It's a live mirror of recent Ethereum blocks. Consider this query to start: query { readBlock(limit: 10, order: { number: DESC }) { number timestamp } }

1/ We're bringing Express.js to ICP. @demergentlabs our general philosophy is to allow developers to use the languages, libraries, and frameworks that they are already using outside of Web3. The amount of friction caused by domain-specific new tools seems underestimated.

Here's the idea, possibly my next major project: Basically build Node.js/Deno.js for the Internet Computer, fulfilling Atwood's Law and opening the flood gates for web 2 developers to poor into the IC. Take the SpiderMonkey JS engine, compile to Wasm, build in IC-specific APIs.

1/ Decentralizing existing blockchain infrastructure with ICP. Remember, ICP let's you build decentralized cloud apps using a centralized-feeling programming model (simple, server-like). Could we build a decentralized Bitcoin mining pool on ICP? @lokamining is working on this

1/ And here's my addition to @BobBodily 's list. My 2023 wishlist for the Internet Computer. I'll label each item with my perceived probability that it ships in 2023 (hi, med, or low probability).

The Internet Computer Protocol $ICP continues to improve. @lastmjs and I frequently discuss building on the #IC : problems, pain points, bottlenecks In our past few conversations, we've been running out of problems to talk about. Here's what I'm most excited about for 2023: 🧵

1/ General purpose private computation. This is one of the most sought-after and elusive treasures in the world of software. No one has found it yet. ICP is trying: 1. General-purpose TEEs 2. Verifiably Encrypted Threshold Key Derivation 3. Fully Homomorphic Encryption

1/ Here goes my response. 1. I hope that @Justin_Bons is wrong about the shady start of ICP, but I don't know what to believe there 2. DFINITY and the community should really internalize his critiques of marketing claims 3. I think he's right and wrong on technical points

1/28) Dfinity claims to have solved all major problems with blockchains Including the scaling trilemma, interoperability & the oracle problem These claims are false & misleading! ICP is scarred by insider trading, price manipulation & had a skewed supply that dumped on retail:

Chain Key Bitcoin (ckBTC) Chain Key Ether (ckETH) Chain Key Assets are secured by a chain key pair and canister smart contract. The chain key pair simultaneously functions on the IC and the blockchain of the chain key asset, providing a seamless integration. Good description?

I'm not sure you all understand how much fun I'm having. Working tons to fix bugs and get Azle 0.20.0 out in the next couple days. Hoping to have basic working versions of: Express, http, crypto, fs, various other APIs, GraphQL, ApolloServer, SQLite, Loki (NoSQL)

A huge shout-out to @dfinity for shipping another major feature from my 2023 wishlist! Composite queries are now live. Essentially this is an initial version of allowing canisters to query other canisters, with much lower latency than update calls. Opens many new use-cases!

14/ Composite queries - hi This is a stop-gap on the way to full cross-canister queries. Unfortunately cross-canister queries are a ways out, but composite queries give us some of the benefits now. Basically, canisters will be able to call other canisters with very low latency

By the way, I'm building an Ethereum archival node prototype on the Internet Computer using Sudograph. This may not only become the foundation of Ethereum archival capabilities on the Internet Computer, but may also forge a path toward implementing The Graph indexers on the IC

ICP 2024 wishlist call for complaints. I'm in the process of reviewing what ICP is missing around the protocol level to allow for as many use cases as possible. For any builders out there, what do you need from ICP to succeed? What's missing at or around the protocol layer?
