ICP Squad Weekly: DeFi is about to Explode on the Internet Computer

Internet Computer Canister Smart Contracts can now Hold and Control ICP. The proposal was voted Yes by the Community and the DFINITY Foundation.

The Internet Computer has reached the Block Speed of 28 blocks per second.

OpenChat will soon allow users to send ICP tokens to one another via instant messages.

Once OpenChat demonstrates how powerful DeFi X SocialFi can be on the Internet Computer, we may see another explosion of adoption and developer activity that propels the Internet Computer to another level altogether. Open Chat Version 2 was supposed to be released this month but has been delayed.

The most exciting thing about this minting fee is that it’ll be sent to something we are calling the “ICP Squad Neuron.”
