ICP Ninja Demo: Build, Deploy, and Customize Dapps on the Internet Computer
Welcome to this in-depth demo of ICP Ninja, a powerful platform for building and deploying projects on the Internet Computer (ICP)!
In this video, Elias, a software engineer at the DFINITY Foundation, walks you through everything you need to know to get started. From exploring sample projects to deploying a fully onchain app, tweaking it with AI assistance, and even taking your work local—this demo has it all!
What You’ll Learn:
Part I: Sample Projects & Editor – Discover projects like the LLM Chatbot, Tokenmania, and an EVM Block Explorer. See how to deploy a block explorer to ICP using Motoko, edit code, and preview your app live.
Part II: Ask AI & Storing Projects – Use the built-in "Ask AI" tool to get quick answers or tweak code. Learn how to save your work to your profile.
Part III: Sharing & Local Development – Share your project with a unique link, export it to GitHub, or download it for local development with VS Code and dev containers.
Highlights:
Deploy a dapp in minutes and share it globally via ICP.
Fetch Ethereum block data onchain using HTTPS outcalls—no oracles needed!
Seamlessly switch from online editing to local development with ICP’s tools.
