+
+Hello developers, and welcome to this week's developer weekly update! This week, we're going to take a look at the road ahead for ICP developers in 2025 and dive into some roadmap items and ongoing initiatives that we'll see take the stage in the new year. Let's get started!
+
+## Roadmap milestones
+
+In 2025, ICP will work toward several roadmap milestones, including:
+
+- Flux: Focused on increasing network compute capacity and scalability, Flux plans to implement asynchronous checkpointing and canister migration between subnets.
+
+- Ignition: Part of the decentralized AI roadmap, the Ignition milestone will expand compute and memory capabilities of canisters.
+
+- Helium: Next up in the Chain Fusion roadmap is an integration with Solana through a Solana RPC canister.
+
+- Niobium: The long-awaited vetKeys feature enabling decentralized key management.
+
+You can view details about the roadmap on [internetcomputer.org](https://internetcomputer.org/roadmap).
+
+## Decentralized AI: DeAI Manifesto
+
+Decentralized AI on ICP is just getting started and will be a major topic of conversation and development in 2025. Recently, the DeAI working group put together the [DeAI Manifesto](https://deaimanifesto.com/), a set of parameters and values that they believe will drive decentralized AI across all ecosystems—not just ICP. Some of these values include:
+
+- DeAI is safe AI.
+
+- DeAI is responsible AI.
+
+- DeAI is verifiable. AI
+
+You can read and sign the [DeAI Manifesto](https://deaimanifesto.com/) to participate in DeAI on ICP.
+
+## ICP developer ecosystem growth
+
+In the [Electric Capital 2024 Developer Report](https://www.developerreport.com/developer-report), the ICP developer community ranked highly across several different statistics, including:
+
+- In 2024, ICP was the third largest ecosystem for new developers.
+
+- In 2024, ICP was the second highest chain for full-time developer growth.
+
+- In Africa, ICP was the third most popular blockchain ecosystem.
+
+More details can be found [on X](https://x.com/dfinity/status/1867619158906876252).
+
+That'll wrap up this week and this year! Tune back in 2025 for more developer updates!

 Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that observes statistical algorithms and their data to learn patterns and generalizations. By analyzing these data patterns, machine learning algorithms can execute tasks by predicting the correct result with high accuracy.

 The exchange rate canister, referred to as the XRC, is a canister that runs on the **uzr34 system subnet**. The XRC uses [HTTPS outcalls](https://internetcomputer.org/https-outcalls/) to fetch data from major cryptocurrency exchanges by using the exchange's public API to retrieve real time or historical cryptocurrency pricing information. The XRC also queries the public APIs for foreign exchange data providers around the world periodically in order to get forex rates.
 
 The XRC canister can be used by dapps such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to provide functionality such as comparing exchange rates against market rates to determine the value of assets that are held in a canister smart contract. For example, the cycle minting canister of the <GlossaryTooltip>NNS</GlossaryTooltip> uses the XRC to obtain the current ICP/XDR exchange rates, which it requires for the conversion of ICP to cycles.

 An NFT collection is a series of non-fungible tokens that each have a unique identifier value. Each token's metadata may be the same, such as the name, image, and description, or each token's data can be unique and associated with a 'rarity' value, where some metadata values are less common than others. Rarity metadata attributes are common in generative NFT collections, often referring to an NFT collection where the artwork for each image has been randomly generated and some components only appear in a select few of the generated images.
 
 For this basic NFT example, you will create a collection where each token has the same metadata values, with the only difference between each NFT being their unique token identifier value.
