ICP HUB Indonesia, also known as Disruptives, is a community and resource center focused on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), a blockchain project developed by the DFINITY Foundation.

The hub aims to educate and empower individuals and organizations in the region about the potential of ICP and blockchain technology. In addition to being the first Web3 incubator and accelerator in Indonesia, it facilitates collaborations, seminars, and workshops by providing resources to help foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and the development of blockchain-based applications on the Internet Computer.

“ICP is a top 25 blockchain. We are one of the best when it comes to security, decentralization, and finding new solutions. We are also the only chain that is allowing AI to fully run as a smart contractor,” Bruno Calabretta told UseTheBitcoin during the recent Coinfest Asia 2024 conference.

ICP Chain Fusion is the technology developed by the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), allowing for seamless interoperability between blockchains. It enables ICP smart contracts to directly communicate with and interact with other chains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, without intermediaries like bridges or oracles.

This technology is currently the central focus of ICP developer events, as it has the potential to revolutionize the way decentralized applications (dApps) are built and used.

“The Chain Fusion is our global branding, with more than thirty ICP HUBS distributed in forty regions around the world,” Calabretta highlighted.

Calabretta stated that ICP is actively inviting developers to join and build on its platform. They offer a range of resources and support to help developers get started, including:

  • Developer Documentation – Comprehensive tutorials and guides help you learn the basics of ICP development.
  • Developer Tools – A variety of tools to help you build and deploy your applications.
  • Community Support – A vibrant community of developers who are always willing to help.
  • Grants and Incentives – Various programs to support developers and projects building on ICP.

If you are a developer interested in building decentralized applications, the Internet Computer is a great platform to consider.

“You can join the nearest local ICP HUB community to you. We have provided so much in terms of support, knowledge, funding, and mentorship. If you’re a startup or entrepreneur looking to build on ICP, reach out to us—we can’t wait to hear about your project. Go ICP!” Calabretta added.
