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.

The Shopify Stock Rally Isn't Done: Chart of the Week -- Barrons.com
By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
