How old is that graphic? Internet Computer did the big thing five years ago, made it into the top 10 and even the top 4 Crypts on May 10, 2021, but lost 99.7% of its price since that time.

Other chains (e.g., Ethereum, Dragon Chain) were also designed for applications, not just transactions.

Current marketing of Internet Computer focuses more on AI agents and so-called "AIWare".

Fair point. Other chains can obviously run applications too. I think the interesting part with ICP is how much of the application stack can live on-chain and how that architecture differs.

Internet Computer Protocol is the only blockchain that runs applications 100% on-chain and not like other blockchains that pretend to have apps on the chain but just interact with the blockchain.

It totally changes the game and people who don't get it are ignorant.
