# CyclesMarket

Cycles are a critical resource on the Internet Computer and whether you're developing a new dapp or participating in a mining project like [bob.fun](https://bob.fun), [ICPS](https://ov2ai-kiaaa-aaaam-aadmq-cai.ic0.app/), or [DOD](https://dod.cool/) using CyclesMarket can be an ideal way to ensure you get the most out of your ICP.

For example, using CyclesMarket during the height of BobDotFun participation some miners were able to get more than double the amount of cycles per ICP than they would have had they topped up directly from the Bob.fun platform. While this won't always be the case depending on the circumstance its a key reason why such a liquid and straight forward point of exchange for cycles is valuable to the ecosystem.
