📢ICP Dashboard 6.4.0 has been released.
Mission 70 on the ICP Dashboard
The recent NNS Governance release reduced the max dissolve delay from 8 years to 2, scaled voting rewards by 0.6329, and made the dissolve-delay bonus quadratic. The ICP Dashboard has been updated across the Neurons, Neuron details, Governance, and ICP Tokenomics pages.
Highlights shown in the screenshots:
🔹Neurons page: Shows "ICP Value Locked for 2 Years". Staked charts show dissolve delays collapsing to the new 2-year cap.
🔹Neurons table: New "8-Year Gang Bonus" filter, with an "⁸" indicator.
🔹Neuron details page: Redesigned Estimate Rewards card shows quadratic dissolve delay bonus curve. New 8-Year Gang Bonus +10% metric.
🔹Voting Rewards Function chart: Reflects the reduction in the voting rewards pool; the rate stepped down from 5.7% to 3.6% today.

ICP Skills for agents that write code. 💻
Give your agent correct dependency versions, config formats, and common pitfalls — so it produces working ICP code instead of hallucinating. Works with Claude, Copilot, Cursor, and any agent that can fetch URLs.

Chain Key Signing: 10x Throughput Improvement 🔑♾️
@DFINITY has announced significant performance updates to the Internet Computer’s threshold signing service for tECDSA, tSchnorr, and vetKeys.
THE FACTS:
🔹 10x Sustained Throughput: Capacity has increased by a factor of 10x or more for high-load subnets.
🔹 Burst Capacity: Subnets can now handle load spikes in excess of 100 signatures per second by generating thousands of pre-signatures in advance.
🔹 Technical Optimizations: Improvements include multi-threading for crypto operations and storing pre-signature artifacts in replicated state.
🔹 Mainnet Update: Proposal 140289 has increased the fiduciary subnet (pzp6e) pre-signature target from 5 to 100.
NEW FIDUCIARY SUBNET LIMITS:
🔹 tECDSA: ~3.5 sig/s
🔹 tSchnorr: ~6.5 sig/s
🔹 vetKeys: ~18 sig/s
The community is encouraged to share use-cases requiring higher throughput to inform future parameter increases.

The dashboard now displays a warning for all "suspicious" ICP transactions related to address poisoning and hides them by default.
Hiding such transactions significantly reduces the noise in the ICP Transactions table.
Screenshots:

2. Account with suspicious transactions shown
3. Address-poisoning transaction

Chain Fusion brings full Bitcoin programmability to ICP.
Through threshold ECDSA and Schnorr signatures, smart contracts can sign native Bitcoin transactions — from legacy SegWit to Taproot.
This unlocks direct onchain interaction with BTC: minting ordinals, managing runes, handling BRC-20 tokens, or building DeFi protocols that settle on Bitcoin itself.
No bridges. No wrappers. Real Bitcoin.

.@OmnityNetwork’s Runes Exchange Environment (REE) is a decentralized PSBT layer built on ICP. It uses Chain Fusion and threshold signing to coordinate multi-party Bitcoin transactions directly from smart contracts.
Exchanges, pools, and oracles all run trust-minimized on ICP while executing real Bitcoin transactions on L1.
REE powers apps like @RichSwap_REE & @tyche_run — composable Bitcoin DeFi, built without bridges.

ICP’s Chain Fusion lets you build apps that span Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana & 20+ other networks.
Instead of bridges or wrapped tokens, ICP smart contracts can hold real BTC, sign with threshold ECDSA/Schnorr, call Ethereum contracts, or fetch Solana state—directly, securely, onchain.
This opens the door to true cross-chain DeFi: imagine a single app that swaps ETH for BTC, checks a Solana NFT, and settles natively on Bitcoin.

Smart contracts on ICP open up an entirely new design space for Bitcoin developers.
You can generate legacy & SegWit addresses, tap into Taproot with Schnorr signatures, and build directly with Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens.
Users can log in with their Bitcoin wallets and interact without ever paying gas.
This combination of native Bitcoin integration + full smart contract programmability makes ICP one of the most capable platforms for Bitcoin DeFi.

ckBTC is a token that represents Bitcoin on the Internet Computer — backed 1:1 by real BTC.
It moves in seconds, costs almost nothing to transfer, and can be held or used directly by smart contracts.
For developers, ckBTC makes Bitcoin programmable: build DEXs, lending markets, DAOs, or payment apps that run entirely onchain, powered by Bitcoin liquidity.
