The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) has been criticized by Justin Bons, the founder of Cyber Capital, for its security vulnerabilities and centralization. Bons argues that ICP suffers from insufficient shared security, making it weaker compared to other blockchains like Polkadot and Avalanche.

ICP's Security Vulnerabilities

ICP operates through independent subnets lacking shared security, exposing users to risks. Security relies on a limited number of validators, sometimes as few as 13 nodes, making it susceptible to attacks. These nodes are located in publicly known data centers, increasing the chances of targeted breaches.

Misleading Marketing and Suggested Reforms

Bons accuses ICP of using misleading marketing tactics, employing terms like 'canisters' for smart contracts and 'nervous systems' for DAOs. He sees these terms as unnecessary jargon. Bons also questions ICP's claims of solving the oracle problem and deploying native smart contracts on Bitcoin.

Positive Aspects and Bons' Recommendations

Bons acknowledges the merits of ICP's on-chain governance model and token economics, including the deflationary fee-burning mechanism. He believes improved sharding solutions could enhance the network's decentralization.

Without transparency and strong security measures, the project has no chance to fulfill its promises.Justin Bons

Justin Bons, founder of Cyber Capital, critiques the Internet Computer Protocol for its security weaknesses and misleading marketing practices. However, he also proposes certain reforms and acknowledges the positive aspects of ICP's architecture and token economics.
