Summary

On this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we chat with Kyle Langham of DFINITY about the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) and its mission to become a decentralized “world computer.” Kyle explains how ICP lets developers host entire applications fully on chain including front end, back end, and data while integrating directly with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. We cover the role of canisters, subnets for scaling, and how ICP’s threshold signature technology brings smart contract functionality to Bitcoin.

The conversation also explores Caffeine AI, a new tool that allows anyone to build and launch apps on ICP using natural language prompts. Kyle shares how he created a Bitcoin-powered arcade game in under an hour and why low-code tools could reshape the future of DeFi, GameFi, and Web3 app development. If you are curious about blockchain interoperability, decentralized infrastructure, or the next wave of user-friendly Web3 tools, this episode is for you.
