A new dApp called Pandemonium has launched to help users monitor the health of their $FunnAI miners. Developed by DeGenX using Caffeine AI for the Internet Computer (ICP) ecosystem, the tool lets users log in via Internet Identity and add miner canisters by address—providing a quick, streamlined view of operational status across their network.
The current version focuses on live status checks, offering a clean and straightforward interface. Users can easily see which miner canisters are active, which may be idle, and quickly spot operational issues without technical setup. While it’s an early release with limited functionality, it covers a specific need for FunnAI miner holders: tracking miner health in real time with minimal effort.
Pandemonium builds on the chaotic and quirky tone of the FunnAI project, which features AI-powered crypto miners often referred to as a “flock of parrots.” The name reflects this branding, but the tool itself is practical and focused. It helps users monitor canister performance without needing to dive into backend code or rely on general-purpose blockchain explorers.
The app was built using Caffeine AI, a development platform that allows users to build and deploy dApps using natural language. DeGenX was able to create and launch Pandemonium rapidly with this tool, keeping the process simple while staying fully on-chain. For the broader ICP developer community, it’s another example of how AI-enhanced tooling can reduce the time and complexity involved in deploying Web3 infrastructure.
Users access the app by signing in with Internet Identity, after which they can input the addresses of their FunnAI miner canisters. There are no third-party wallets or plug-ins needed. This tight integration with the ICP ecosystem makes it both accessible and privacy-friendly.
As of now, the app is free to use. That has sparked questions from the community about the cost of building and deploying through Caffeine AI. One user asked directly what DeGenX paid to launch the dApp. The response was that it’s free for now—likely one of the reasons development is being rolled out gradually. It’s expected that Caffeine AI will eventually introduce pricing, at which point the actual cost of building and hosting such tools will become clearer.
This has led to further suggestions that future updates to Pandemonium could benefit from including cost monitoring. Since canister usage on ICP can incur fees over time—especially with more complex functionality—users would benefit from visibility into those running costs. It’s been floated that either the feature be built into Pandemonium itself or that someone else in the community create a general-purpose cost tracking tool for Caffeine-built apps.
For now, though, the lack of fees makes it easy for users to test the tool and offer feedback without committing resources. That flexibility gives early users a chance to shape how the tool evolves, which could include everything from performance logs and usage analytics to uptime alerts.
Pandemonium joins a growing list of community-built utilities tailored to specific Web3 use cases. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, it focuses on doing one job well: showing whether your miners are up and running. For users managing multiple canisters, that alone can save time and reduce guesswork.
The early feedback has been generally positive, particularly around how fast and lightweight the tool is. Its reliance on Internet Identity keeps access secure and user-friendly, while its visual simplicity means that even those less familiar with ICP infrastructure can use it effectively. It also avoids cluttering the experience with unnecessary extras, which can often be a problem in overbuilt dashboards.
Caffeine AI, the development tool used to build Pandemonium, continues to gain traction within the ICP ecosystem for exactly this kind of project. Developers can move from concept to deployment in hours, often without writing code in the traditional sense. That rapid turnaround is a big reason why tools like Pandemonium are starting to emerge around specific community needs. It’s also why interest is growing around how sustainable and cost-effective these AI-generated dApps will be once Caffeine transitions to a paid model.
While it’s unclear exactly when fees will be introduced, the current window gives developers and users alike an opportunity to experiment freely. For a project like FunnAI, which thrives on community engagement and creative experimentation, this fits well with its grassroots development style.
Users interested in trying Pandemonium can visit the dApp now, log in via Internet Identity, and begin monitoring their canisters without needing to install or configure anything further. It’s a lean, functional release aimed at solving a specific problem, with the potential to grow into something more detailed over time.
Whether the app eventually becomes a paid service or integrates cost monitoring directly, it’s already made an impact by filling a gap. And as more tools like this begin to appear across ICP, the idea of quick-build, AI-powered utilities may become a more regular part of the on-chain user experience.
For now, Pandemonium gives the FunnAI community a practical tool for managing their “flock,” without the usual friction—and offers a small but useful glimpse into what AI-generated infrastructure can deliver when focused on the right task.
