Fabio has introduced a Bitcoin Dominance Indicator built on the Internet Computer, making use of Caffeine AI to get the project up and running in just an hour. The tool allows users to track how the top 50 non-stablecoin altcoins are performing against Bitcoin, offering a snapshot of the shifting balance between Bitcoin and the wider altcoin market.
The list of coins for the indicator comes directly from fairmarketcap.com, with certain exclusions in place. Stablecoins, Bitcoin itself, KLAY, FTM, and MKR have been filtered out to ensure the indicator reflects the performance of a specific set of altcoins. This filtering keeps the focus on coins that are actively traded and seen as part of the broader altcoin category, giving traders a clearer picture of how Bitcoin is moving in relation to them.
For price data, Fabio confirmed using CoinGecko’s API, a choice that has become common among developers looking for consistent and updated market feeds. CoinGecko’s data supports the calculation of the dominance ratio in a way that can be checked against widely accepted market figures.
The project highlights how builders are increasingly turning to AI-driven tools to speed up development on blockchain networks like the Internet Computer. Fabio’s approach — building an application within an hour — reflects a shift toward faster prototyping and deployment. Caffeine AI, which assisted in this process, is gaining attention among developers looking for ways to simplify coding tasks and accelerate project timelines.
What sets this project apart isn’t just the speed at which it was built, but the focus on delivering a tool that taps into a topic many traders follow closely. Bitcoin dominance remains a popular metric in crypto circles, often seen as an indicator of where capital is flowing in the market. By presenting data on how major altcoins are performing against Bitcoin, Fabio’s tool gives traders a practical resource they can check regularly.
The choice of the Internet Computer as the platform for this project also reflects growing confidence in its developer environment. With support from AI tools like Caffeine, creators are finding it easier to build and deploy applications without facing the long lead times traditionally associated with blockchain projects. This is giving rise to a more experimental phase, where developers can try ideas quickly, learn from feedback, and refine their work without being bogged down by technical delays.
Fabio’s project is one of several that show how developers are embracing both AI and blockchain to create useful applications for the crypto community. The Bitcoin Dominance Indicator may have been built in just an hour, but it highlights a wider trend of using accessible tools to meet real market interests. For those tracking crypto movements, tools like this offer a straightforward way to stay informed — and for developers, it’s a reminder of how quickly a good idea can be brought to life with the right support.
