The ICP ecosystem continues its journey through the Web3 universe at an impressive pace, driven by a thriving and passionate community.
Let’s take a look at how the community has elevated ICP to new heights during the month of May!
✨ What’s new to the Internet Computer? ✨
Building on the momentum of the ICP Global Townhall at the end of April, which drew over 1 million participants worldwide🤯, the ICP ecosystem has continued to innovate and deliver exciting developments in recent weeks.
🧠 Another milestone was the Omnity mainnet launch, revolutionizing decentralized knowledge sharing and cementing its role within the ICP ecosystem.
⛓️ Chain Fusion is revolutionizing blockchain technology by connecting ICP with Bitcoin, Ethereum, EVMs, and soon Solana. This integration enhances developer creativity and expands DeFi services, enabling ICP smart contracts to function across multiple chains.
📈 Moreover, the introduction of ICPEx, a decentralized exchange, significantly boosts DeFi and trading activities on the ICP platform.
🔗 DFINITY announced that Internet Computer smart contracts are now EVM compatible, further solidifying its position in the blockchain space.
Notably, ICP earned recognition as the most active cryptocurrency on GitHub over the last three months, with 2000+ commits.
Over the past 12 months, ICP's dominance has been even more impressive, with over 10,000 commits, firmly placing ICP in first place and far ahead of the competition.
