Developer weekly update June 26, 2024

June 26 2024

Hello developers, and welcome to this week's developer weekly update! In this week's update, we're excited to share several new pages of documentation, a proposal for a new ckERC20 token, and provide information about upcoming ICP events. Let's get started!

New docs​

This week, the ICP Dev Docs received several new additions, including digital asset pages for wallets and NFTs, plus new Chain Fusion pages that detail ckERC20 tokens and a list of different chains supported by ICP. Here are the details:

  • Wallet overview: Learn about types of asset wallets on ICP.

  • NFTs overview: Learn about ICP's NFT standards, ICRC-7 and ICRC-37.

  • NFT collections: A tutorial using ICRC-7 to deploy your own NFT collection.

  • NFT marketplaces: A list of dapps on ICP that support buying and selling NFTs.

  • Supported chains: A list of chains that ICP can integrate with using native integrations or an RPC service through HTTPS outcalls

  • ckERC20 overview: Learn about ckERC20 tokens, such as ckUSDC and ckLINK.

  • ckERC20 transactions: Swap ckERC20 tokens for ERC20 tokens and vice versa.

  • ckERC20 in dapps: Learn how to target a ledger canister in your code for ckERC20 tokens.

ckPEPE proposal​

A new ckERC20 token has been proposed! So far, we've seen the deployment of ckUSDC and ckLINK on ICP, but a third token has been submitted to the NNS for approval: ckPEPE! This would be a chain-key twin token of the PEPE ERC-20 token deployed on Ethereum. PEPE is considered a 'memecoin', meaning it was named after a character, individual, animal, or piece of artwork, and is used for entertainment purposes.

Vote on the NNS proposal.

Upcoming events​

Chain Fusion Summer is in full swing with some great in person and virtual events planned over the next few months. Here are some we're excited for:

  • Chain Fusion Day in Brussels on July 10th: An in person event at the ETHCC conference. RSVP.

  • Chain Fusion Day in Nashville on July 26th: An in person event at the Bitcoin Nashville conference. RSVP.

  • ICP Dev Conf: An online conference featuring keynote speakers and developer workshops. Register here.

  • Hackernoon writing contest: An online event where writers can enter a piece about AI on ICP and have a chance to win a portion of the $1,000 prize pool. Enter today.

That'll wrap up this week. Tune back in next week for more developer updates!
