Not only hackers failed to hack internet-computer:native for the second time in a row, but they ended up burning cycles as a result and paying for it (again!) Hackers spent thousands of dollars on ICP tokens in the course of their attack, but only
And this is exactly the reason why hackers are trying to hack internet-computer:native (and yet, they miserably fail). ICP is about to go mainstream. There are a lot of institutions/market makers, that do not want that! ICP will win! ICP = World Computer
Between Aug 21 and 27, about 148,000 ICP was minted out of neuron maturity, seven days running. We posted it every day and said the same thing each time: none of it touched an exchange on the first hop, and if any of it surfaced at an exchange through a longer path, we would
Attacks on the Internet Computer are paid for in cycles, and cycles are minted by burning ICP. So the cost is on a public ledger. We measured it. This week's attack: about 3,160 ICP burned, roughly 5,500 TCycles. The 28 August attack: about 703 ICP, roughly 1,226 TCycles. A few
ICP supply check, Aug 31 (UTC): Minted: 3,676 ICP Burned: 757 ICP Net: +2,919 ICP Four days after the cash-out wave broke, minting has settled. Aug 30 came in at 3,651 and Aug 31 at 3,676, twenty five ICP apart. After a week where daily minting ranged from 3,341 to 46,720, two
A "300 billion transactions" milestone made the rounds this week. The number is real. The word is doing a lot of work. On ICP a ledger transaction and a message execution are two different measurements. One is ICP moving between accounts. The other is every call a canister
Cronos just halted its entire chain after a ~$75M exploit on Tectonic. An attacker pumped the thinly traded TONIC token ~100x in minutes, posted it as collateral, and borrowed real assets against the inflated price. Tectonic TVL crashed from $122M to ~$3M. Validators
ICP supply check, Aug 30 (UTC): Minted: 3,651 ICP Burned: 310 ICP Net: +3,341 ICP Third day since the cash-out wave broke. Minting is still far below it, 3,651 against a wave average near 21,000 a day. The burn is what moved. 310 ICP, against 4,165 on Aug 28. That is not the
$63.81M was lost in Crypto due to hacks during the month of August. Projects that build on ETH, SOL, BASE, ADA, ARB, BSC... were hacked Not on internet-computer:native
About 9.9M ICP moved into dissolving, in a single day. None of it can be sold. Dissolving: 26,889,851 -> 36,821,084 ICP Not dissolving: -9,261,616 ICP Three months of a flat line, then one step between Aug 27 and Aug 28. The whole move sits in one place. The 18 to 24 month
Someone just started dissolving 10M internet-computer:native, currently worth around $25M. The staked (dissolving) supply increased from 26.77M to 36.82M ICP.
Real milestone. Worth naming what sits under the word transaction on ICP, because two very different things live there. Ledger transactions are ICP moving between accounts. Message executions are every update call a canister serves. They do not move together and they are not
This is a free marketing campaign for internet-computer:native Governments & large Institutions are currently evaluating the capabilities of ICP Vs Centralized Cloud Providers. This hack proved to be a free stress test. In fact, hackers failed and ICP
