No Cap is a slang term used as an alternative to "no lie" to tell people you're serious about something and not lying.

Is cap short for something, or just a random word selected here?

~~I think it refers to a cap (hat), because culturally when you take off your cap it means you are being truthful. Similar to the term "hat in hand"~~

I looked into it more and seems like the origins of cap meaning to lie is unclear. So looks like I was off base

I thought it referred to the "kappa" emote on twitch which conveys sarcasm (/s basically), so no cap = no sarcasm intended.
