Dominic Williams has clarified how Caffeine, the platform for building decentralised applications, functions on the network.
Responding to a user query about the lack of ICP tokens on Caffeine, Dom explained that most users may never see a token. Payments are handled through Caffeine Credits (CCs), while the applications themselves run securely on the ICP network, consuming the blockchain’s computational resource, known as cycles.
The comment emphasises that the platform’s design prioritises user experience and app development over direct token interaction. Behind the scenes, Caffeine leverages ICP’s capabilities to host applications fully on-chain, supporting AI-driven workflows and innovative app-building tools.
Dom’s reply serves as a reminder that running on a blockchain does not always require visible token use, and that Caffeine’s approach aims to make decentralised application creation accessible without complicating the user experience.
