Just back from Paris 🇫🇷 after two great days with the @UNDP team and the Blockchain Advisory Group.
One perspective I shared: while token ledgers have driven the first wave of blockchain use cases, the real impact of the technology for public good will come from compute.
The combination of sovereign cloud infrastructure and AI is where things become transformative.
AI is becoming both the most powerful builder and the most capable attacker. At the same time, critical digital infrastructure is often dependent on foreign providers, with growing concerns around control, resilience, and data sovereignty.
Cloud Engines address this directly by enabling tamperproof, always-on, sovereign environments where AI can build and operate software. This is already taking shape with forward-looking governments like Pakistan @digitalauthpk and upcoming offering from the @swisssubnet Cloud Engines.
For governments, NGOs, and enterprises, this is not just an upgrade. It is a new foundation to secure an important lifeline of modern economies: compute.
Appreciation to the @UNDP_AltFinLab for convening and driving these important discussions at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and technology companies.
Looking forward to strengthening the collaboration with the UNDP team as well as contributing to the Advisory Group.
Stay tuned!
A growing number of enterprises are waiting for ICP cloud engines. This summer, we'll start distributing promo codes for creating engines that run for 2 weeks for free, over Internet Computer nodes. Fluid sovereign onchain apps with AI inside = create, experience, want forever...
Soon I will demonstrate how AI can be "inside" an arbitrary ICP app, service or website built using the latest Motoko, understanding all its data, analysing it any way you want, and taking actions, without need for one special line of code. Insane and groundbreaking.
ICP's Cloud Engines Will Keep Apps Running Effectively
Internet Computer (@dfiinity) recently shared a quick overview detailing how Cloud Engines work...
This new feature promises to provide serverless, fail-proof computational power for global enterprise applications.
Users can select between 4 and 100 high-performance nodes across any continent, ensuring that $ICP apps remain operational even if a single node fails.
Funding is streamlined through direct USD-to-cycle conversion via the Network Nervous System, removing all traditional infrastructure overhead and server management.
Basically, here is how it works:
- Users select Nodes.
- Fund Engine.
- Deploy apps.
Cloud engines run in three steps.
1) Select your nodes
Pick hardware, operators, geography. 4 to 100 nodes per engine, any continent.
2) Fund your engine
Pay in USD. Cycles power everything. No infra overhead.
3) Deploy your apps
Install from App Center or push direct. Connect your AI agent. Zero servers to manage.
One node fails. Apps keep running.

Next Week Could Be Crucial for Internet Computer
Internet Computer (@Dfinity) executive @PierreSamaties prepares to showcase the Internet Computer sovereign cloud to government and enterprise leaders in Paris next week.
The presentation frames $ICP as a critical IT stack for public and private institutions requiring absolute data sovereignty and zero single points of failure.
This outreach targets high-level decision-makers seeking decentralized alternatives to legacy cloud providers as data localization laws tighten across the European Union.
🔴 THE CRYPTO CASINO CONTINUES
The industry's only playbook at this point is to artificially pump L1's, spam the feed, and push trading on retail
(Opening monologue for my next members video)
$ICP $CLOUD ☁️♾
Paris, next week. 🇫🇷
I will share insights on the benefits for enterprises and governments using the sovereign frontier cloud on the Internet Computer, based on real life examples.

$ICP Signal ♾🚨
KryL just wired ICP canister data directly into MS SQL Server. PowerShell as the execution layer. Called it "straightforward."
He said it's "not anything groundbreaking."
He's wrong.
This is how infrastructure transitions happen. Not a switch-flip. A builder quietly adding a blockchain as a data source to infrastructure that already exists.
Every enterprise on Earth runs SQL Server. Every one just got a proof of concept. No rip-and-replace. No permission needed.
The early internet didn't kill mainframes. It got plugged into them. Then one day the mainframe was the dependency, not the backbone.
ICP isn't asking enterprises to abandon their infrastructure. It's already inside it.
The most dangerous infrastructure isn't the one that replaces what you have. It's the one that makes what you have dependent on it.
See the signal ♾🚨
