🤔 So @dfinity is now working with the United Nations...?
@dfinity is one of 26 blockchain ecosystem members selected for the UNDP’s new Blockchain Advisory Group (BAG) 🌍
The initiative was announced at Proof of Talk 2026 in Paris and brings together industry participants to explore how blockchain can support global development and public-good initiatives.
As @PierreSamaties put it: “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.” ⚙️👀
So the Dfinity Foundation is now working with the UN...?!
@dfinity, the developer behind Internet Computer $ICP, is one of 26 member organizations representing the blockchain ecosystem in the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) new Blockchain Advisory Group (BAG).
The new initiative was announced in Paris at the Proof of Talk 2026 conference event.
"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."
... wrote @PierreSamaties, Dfinity's CBO.
Internet Computer is dangerously close to hitting 300B transactions.
According to data on @chainspect_app, @dfinity's Internet Computer has now processed some 289B transactions since network launch.
The platform has also been outspoken in praising $ICP's scalability of late, with real-time TPS currently sitting at 2,536 tx/s.
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!
@PierreSamaties was speaking in Paris at the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group today.
Here's a great clip of him speaking in Paris last year on how @dfinity got given the nickname NASA of decentralisation and how $ICP are building the 1ST WORLD COMPUTER!
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...
@Zero2HeroZombie Inflation/emissions already down 40% thanks to #Mission70. Cloud engines will now create a serious deflationary pressure. I'm hopeful we can blow past -70% net by EOY, but a lot work ahead
Caffeine is separating how you build from where you ship.
Build with any AI and toolchain, then host a real, self-owned product on the Internet Computer.
New plans, new ways to build, plus collaboration coming soon.
Hello, $ICP community! We have a really important proposal here(142071) for a long-running cloud engine. I see progress, I see technology, I see better tokenomics. I see the future of decentralized internet here. The cloud engine can save nations and solve outages and hacks.♾️
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.
Three things most clouds can't promise:
1) Tamperproof. Runs on a mathematical network, not servers.
2) Always on. No sysadmin team required.
3) Yours. No vendor lock-in, no backdoors.
Cloud Engines deliver all three.
