ICP's reverse gas model seen as key to its ChatGPT integration
The post argues that ICP's reverse gas model, where developers fund apps with cycles instead of users paying gas, is the main advantage of the ChatGPT integration.
🚨♾️🔥 $ICP — PEOPLE ARE MISSING JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS CHATGPT INTEGRATION COULD BE! CREDIT TO @ICPapprentice FOR HIGHLIGHTING SOMETHING THAT DESERVES FAR MORE ATTENTION! THIS ISN’T JUST ANOTHER AI PLUGIN! IT’S ABOUT HOW AI CAN INTERACT WITH DECENTRALISED APPLICATIONS WITHOUT MAKING THE USER FEEL LIKE THEY’RE USING A BLOCKCHAIN! THINK ABOUT THAT! YOU OPEN CHATGPT. YOU ASK A QUESTION. YOU GIVE AN INSTRUCTION. AND CONNECTED APPLICATIONS ON THE INTERNET COMPUTER CAN READ DATA AND EXECUTE AUTHORISED ACTIONS! NO NEED TO UNDERSTAND SMART CONTRACTS! NO NEED TO MANUALLY NAVIGATE FIVE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS! AND HERE’S WHERE $ICP HAS A SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURAL ADVANTAGE! 📂 ♾️ THE REVERSE GAS MODEL ┃ ┣ ⚙️ Developers fund their applications with cycles ┣ 💰 Users don’t normally pay blockchain gas for every interaction ┣ 🤖 AI agents can interact with supported application functions ┣ 🔄 Multiple applications can participate in a single workflow ┣ 🌐 Applications can serve web content directly ┣ 🔐 Smart contracts can enforce application permissions ┗ 🚀 Users experience something closer to conventional web applications NOW COMPARE THAT WITH TRADITIONAL BLOCKCHAIN INTERACTIONS! ON MANY NETWORKS, USERS MUST MANAGE WALLETS, TRANSACTION SIGNATURES AND NETWORK FEES. THAT CREATES FRICTION! ETHEREUM AND SOLANA DEVELOPERS CAN ALSO BUILD SPONSORED TRANSACTIONS, ACCOUNT ABSTRACTION AND GASLESS EXPERIENCES. BUT ICP’S REVERSE GAS MODEL MAKES APPLICATION-FUNDED COMPUTATION A NATIVE PART OF ITS ARCHITECTURE! THAT IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE! AND IT BECOMES PARTICULARLY INTERESTING WHEN AI AGENTS NEED TO PERFORM MULTIPLE APPLICATION OPERATIONS! IMAGINE ASKING CHATGPT: 💬 “CHECK MY CALENDAR AND FIND A FREE DAY.” 💬 “ORGANISE MY TASKS AND PRIORITISE WHAT’S URGENT.” 💬 “UPDATE MY PROJECT RECORDS.” 💬 “COORDINATE INFORMATION BETWEEN MY CONNECTED APPLICATIONS.” ALL THROUGH NATURAL LANGUAGE! NOW, TO BE TECHNICALLY ACCURATE, THIS DOESN’T MEAN EVERY ACTION IS AUTOMATICALLY FREE, INSTANT OR SIGNATURE-FREE. APPLICATION PERMISSIONS, USER APPROVALS, EXTERNAL SERVICES AND TRANSACTION REQUIREMENTS STILL MATTER. BUT IT DOES MEAN DEVELOPERS CAN BUILD DECENTRALISED APPLICATIONS WHERE USERS AREN’T CONSTANTLY CONFRONTED WITH BLOCKCHAIN MECHANICS! AND THAT’S THE POINT! MASS ADOPTION DOESN’T HAPPEN WHEN EVERYONE BECOMES A BLOCKCHAIN EXPERT. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE TECHNOLOGY BECOMES SO ACCESSIBLE THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN USE IT WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE UNDERNEATH! NOW CONNECT THAT TO CHATGPT! ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST RECOGNISED AI INTERFACES! AND AN INTERNET COMPUTER ECOSYSTEM CAPABLE OF HOSTING APPLICATION LOGIC AND DATA ON-CHAIN! THIS ISN’T A GUARANTEE OF MASS ADOPTION. BUT IT IS A VERY INTERESTING STEP TOWARDS MAKING DECENTRALISED COMPUTING PRACTICAL FOR EVERYDAY USERS! WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS ARGUING ABOUT TOKEN PRICES… I’M WATCHING THE BARRIERS BETWEEN AI AND DECENTRALISED APPLICATIONS START TO COME DOWN! CREDIT AGAIN TO @ICPAPPRENTICE! @dfinity @dominic_w @OpenAI @PierreSamaties ♾️ $ICP — THE MARKET IS WATCHING THE TOKEN. I’M WATCHING THE INFRASTRUCTURE BEING BUILT! 🚀 🌐 http://internetcomputer.org #ICP #InternetComputer #DFINITY #ChatGPT #AI #ReverseGas #MCP #Blockchain #Web3 #Decentralisation 🏴 Welsh ICP Conviction | @ICPLEGEND1966 ❤️ LIKE | 🔁 REPOST | 💬 COMMENT ♾️ ICP Donation Address: 1e672d038cebc619d93186418fa98f6499dbdb9cfdfac54f366c61a4a4ee4362
