ICP publishes tongue-in-cheek apology for building tech that proves Dapps don’t need AWS
The ICP team has issued a tongue-in-cheek apology boasting about running full-stack apps entirely on-chain, even as the ICP token remains down 99% from ATH.
- The ICP team issued a tongue-in-cheek “apology” bragging about the protocol’s ability to run full-stack applications entirely on-chain without the need for traditional cloud services like AWS.
- In response, several community members criticized ICP underwhelming price performance, which dropped from its ATH of $750 to just $6.
The Internet Computer Protocol ( ICP ) team has just released an unofficial apology for “proving that “ Decentralized Apps ” don’t actually need Amazon Web Services to run…” and for “shipping features today that other chains have scheduled for 2030.”
While the apology is clearly tongue-in-cheek, ICP is indeed able to host full‑stack applications entirely on‑chain. Its “canisters” are smart contracts that embed both application logic and data, and can serve web‑content directly to users, which removes reliance on traditional cloud services like those provided by AWS .
Some examples of full‑stack apps currently running on the ICP network include:
- OpenChat: A fully on‑chain messaging platform offering real‑time chat, file sharing and governance via a DAO, all implemented via ICP canisters.
- ICPSwap: A decentralized exchange built on ICP where both front‑end and back‑end logic are hosted on‑chain, enabling token swaps, liquidity provision and governance.
- Caffeine: A no‑code platform on ICP that allows users to create full‑stack web applications via natural‑language prompts, with the infrastructure all handled on‑chain.
ICP price down 99% from ATH
Some community members pushed back on ICP’s “apology,” pointing to the ICP token’s rocky performance. “I’m bullish, but that’s A LOT of shit talk for a project down 99%,” user @detta0215 wrote in a post on X.
Similarly, user @OzDefi said: “kinda wish you would have hyped the whole time, Im down 96%. I only have to get 40X to break even.”
For context, ICP has fallen sharply from its ATH of $750, reached 5 years ago, to just $6 today. However, it’s worth noting ICP price has recently staged an impressive rally of +240% , climbing from $2.80 to $9.50 at its peak.
