Cloud engines are "going to be the biggest thing in the history of the Internet Computer," Dominic Williams told All In Crypto.

A cloud engine is a business's own private subnet on the Internet Computer, built by combining nodes from a market. The business chooses precisely the hardware, and can change it without interrupting the apps and services running on the engine.

Even opencloud.⁠org, the site where engines are created, is served from the Internet Computer itself.

Dom expects cloud engines to open up the Internet Computer to the enterprise market.

I guess that leaves only the Internet Computer in the "world computer" game then, building on hardcore technical work since 2014 ;) Cloud engines this week ✌🏼..

🧵 The NARRATIVE around Ethereum was that it was going to be the backbone for the new financial system

That "Wall Street already chose Ethereum"

Digital oil. World computer. etc.

Now Vitalik is coming out and saying it's primarily just a store of value. That ETH as a fee burning token was never as strong as it seemed.

Sooo... now it's just another Bitcoin..?

Notice how they sell lies for years and then once all the fake narratives have died, the truth slowly comes out.

Keep in mind they already pitched the L2 vision FOR 5 YEARS. TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS wasted.

And then they randomly say "this isn't working, we need a new path."

They have NO path forward. This is the cold hard truth. Been saying this for a long time.

This is a game of rotating narratives every 6-12 months and hoping enough retail holders continue ignoring the MOUNTAIN OF RED FLAGS.

There is only one Web3 thesis. ICP.

With ICP, you can see A CLEAR PATH FORWARD. More sovereign countries. 1-2 key partnerships with tech companies. Done.

TONS OF COUNTRIES want to move away from BigTech. And there are no other REAL sovereign cloud infrastructure models out there. That also solve for security and AI. And we are currently in the middle of a cyber pandemic.

ICP already has the integrations built out wth Claude and ChatGPT. And we've heard multiple execs at OpenAI talk about the need for more secure software, and an updated internet protocol where everything talks to everything.

The point I'm making is YOU CAN SEE HOW this can move forward and be adopted at scale. Because ICP solves real problems that are making headlines 24/7.

L1s never solved any problems. That is the reason why they won't move forward.

All the warning signs are there for Crypto bros.

Alternative: run your backend onchain, where tamperproof code is serverless, and there is no OS to compromise. Prefer this over traditional tech for all the reasons | ICP

[Ajki @ajki76]

I think you are missing the point of what $ICP is actually solving.

Let's look at some major hacks:

Bybit: Had exactly what you prescribe:
an air-gapped multisig cold wallet with hardware signers.

Still lost $1.5B. The compromised laptop wasn't even Bybit's. A Safe Wallet dev was hacked, attackers obtained AWS credentials and replaced the JavaScript in Safe AWS S3 bucket. The signers approved what the screen showed them. The screen lied. The malicious JavaScript was removed two minutes later.

Binance: DevOps laptop -> service container -> the signing system signed whatever it was told. No private key was leaked.

Bangladesh Bank: Custom malware inside SWIFT Alliance Access, manipulating the Oracle DB to conceal fraudulent transfers.

Capital One: A misconfigured WAF on AWS.

See the pattern?

The pattern isn't "humans". It's one human reaching one mutable server that sits between the signer and the chain. #InternetComputer removes that server.

An attacker compromises a mutable component of the infra and changes what the system does. That infra is the attack surface, not the person signing.

That's the attack surface $ICP is designed to eliminate:

✅Frontends served directly from canisters, with responses certified by the subnet and verifiable by the client. No S3 bucket where attackers can silently replace JavaScript.

✅No traditional service containers, SSH access or admin controlled databases. Canister state changes are executed through subnet consensus.

✅No single administrator holding the upgrade keys on a laptop. Canisters can be governed by a DAO, with upgrades requiring a vote.

✅No complete signing key sitting in one place. Threshold crypto distributes key shares across nodes, while properly implemented consent messages let users verify what they're signing.

✅ No API keys or cloud credentials. Canister calls are authenticated by the protocol, nothing for a compromised laptop to hand over.

✅ Verifiable deployed code. Wasm hash is onchain, reproducible builds let anyone check it matches source.

✅ Public controllers. Anyone can see who can upgrade a canister, one key, DAO, or nobody.

✅ Withdrawal policy enforced by consensus. Limits and approvals live in the canister, not in a backend someone can reach.

✅ Upgrades go through a visible voting window. A malicious change is a public proposal, not a silent push.

✅ Certified data reads. Balances and transaction lists are verifiable as coming from the subnet, not a tampered node.

✅ No runtime supply chain. Dependencies compile into the WASM, nothing fetched at execution time.

✅ No passwords or seed phrases to phish. Internet Identity uses passkeys, with a separate principal per app.

✅ No key server. vetKeys derive encryption keys onchain via threshold crypto.

Your three "someone still has to" points: code bugs, key custody and user signing and those are real risks, and they apply everywhere. ICP has never claimed otherwise.

What $ICP solves is that the infra layer exploited in hacks like Bybit, Binance, Bangladesh Bank etc.. can be fundamentally redesigned to eliminate entire classes of attack.

#InternetComputer isn't trying to make traditional infra more secure. It's eliminating entire attack surfaces by making that infra unnecessary.

That's why I'm genuinely optimistic about ICP future.
The tech addresses real problems, and its potential extends far beyond what we've seen in crypto.

I like the direction @dominic_w is taking on X lately, focusing on practical problems and what $ICP can do to solve them.

one thing is certain: trust takes years to build and seconds to question.

binance needs to show the market that user protection comes first.

one difficult moment doesn't define an entire journey.

what matters is the response, the transparency, and the commitment to users.

Internet Computer flips Solana to become crypto's fastest chain.

Despite @Solana holding the top spot for several weeks, @dfinity was the fastest chain in crypto over the past week, recording some 2,323 tx/s.

$ICP's figure sat well ahead of $SOL's for the period, which saw only 1,896 tx/s.

The data comes from @chainspect_app's scalability dashboard.

[Pierre @PierreSamaties]

@integral_wizard @thebasedgiant There is great progress behind the scenes, but in the business world, especially with governments, things take time because its done thoroughly and by respecting everyone's requirements.

[TWJ News @TronWeekly]

Internet Computer recorded a weekly revenue high of $86,172, its first week above $85,000, equivalent to roughly $4.48 million annually if sustained.

Meanwhile, ICP trades near $3.06, with $2.90–$2.95 support key for a potential double-bottom rebound toward $3.50; a four-hour close below $2.80 would invalidate the setup.

$ICP — Internet Computer
ㅤ
Most blockchains are built to move tokens.
ㅤ
$ICP is trying to run entire applications on-chain.
ㅤ
That makes it one of the more ambitious infrastructure bets in crypto.
ㅤ
Save this checklist:
ㅤ
-> What it does
ㅤ
Internet Computer lets developers build apps where backend logic, data, and web services can run directly on blockchain infrastructure.
ㅤ
Think:
ㅤ
Web apps.
AI agents.
Data storage.
Social platforms.
On-chain backend services.
ㅤ
-> Why people care
ㅤ
A lot of “decentralized” apps still rely on AWS, Google Cloud, and other centralized infrastructure.
ㅤ
ICP is trying to move much more of that stack on-chain.
ㅤ
If that works at scale, it becomes more than just another smart contract network.
ㅤ
-> Main narrative
ㅤ
AI.
Decentralized Cloud.
Full-Stack Web3.
On-chain Apps.
Consumer Crypto.
ㅤ
-> What makes it different
ㅤ
ICP uses canister smart contracts that can handle logic, data, and web experiences.
ㅤ
That means developers can build much more complete applications directly inside the network.
ㅤ
The thesis is simple:
ㅤ
Not just decentralized money.
ㅤ
Decentralized software.
ㅤ
-> Bull case
ㅤ
If AI agents, decentralized cloud, and fully on-chain apps keep growing, ICP could benefit from several major narratives at once.
ㅤ
That gives $ICP a strong picks-and-shovels angle on the future of Web3 infrastructure.
ㅤ
-> Biggest risk
ㅤ
Complexity + adoption.
ㅤ
The technology is ambitious, but ambitious technology only matters if developers and users actually choose it.
ㅤ
ICP still needs more breakout apps and sustained economic activity.
ㅤ
-> What actually drives the token
ㅤ
More application usage.
More compute demand.
More data stored.
More developers.
More ICP converted into cycles for network resources.
ㅤ
The key is simple:
ㅤ
Real app usage needs to create real demand for network compute.
ㅤ
-> What to watch before buying
ㅤ
Developer growth.
Canister activity.
Network compute usage.
AI app adoption.
Consumer app growth.
Network revenue.
ICP token demand.
ㅤ
-> Best environment for this coin
ㅤ
AI rotation.
DePIN / decentralized cloud narrative.
Layer 1 rotation.
Falling BTC dominance.
Strong altcoin liquidity.
ㅤ
My view:
ㅤ
Narrative: 9/10
Utility: 10/10
Adoption: 8/10
Risk: Medium
Upside: High
ㅤ
AI.
Decentralized cloud.
Full-stack Web3.
ㅤ
$ICP is basically a bet that blockchains eventually host more than financial transactions.
ㅤ
If entire apps and AI services start moving on-chain, Internet Computer is one of the infrastructure names worth keeping high on the radar.
ㅤ
Save this for your AI / infrastructure watchlist.

Internet Computer now has an official MCP plugin in ChatGPT.

Built by the DFINITY team, reviewed and approved by OpenAI.

You may have heard of both

[𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨.𝗲𝘅𝗲 @0PointEntropy]

We are coming internet-computer:native

[dom | icp @dominic_w]

ICP "cloud engines" launch trajectory:

DFINITY will soon begin disbursing coupons with enough cycles to create and power an engine for 1 month+, unlocking in sequence:

1. Agentic infrastructure ⚡️ Quickly build secure, sovereign onchain production apps using Claude Code, Codex, Caffeine, ...

2. Open SaaS beta release ⚡️ Install AIware apps that can run any enterprise, as easily as installing phone apps...

3. Unlimited growth ⚡️ A new end-to-end, mainstream onchain cloud tech stack will come into being.

*** What this means ***

ICP cloud engines are a new development on the Internet Computer designed to allow it to play the role of a revolutionary new cloud tech stack for the AI era.

Currently, the Internet Computer scales by combining internal subnets, which are akin to individual, high performance blockchains hosting secure serverless software called canisters (something like smart contracts, but much more powerful, which can be used to create huge onchain apps, which serve their web screens directly to users)

Cloud engines allow enterprises to create their own subnets that belong exclusively to them, which they control and configure — while their canister software can still seamlessly interoperate with software on the main network, and engines run by others.

An enterprise creates a cloud engine by choosing nodes from a marketplace, which the ICP protocol combines into a revolutionary serverless cloud platform for them, where the computation and data of their hosted apps and services is tamperproof (immune to infrastructure hacks) and always on (incredibly resilient), AI agents can build and update apps far more effectively than on traditional tech, and next generation AIware software can be created.

Today, enterprises demand to be able to control where their sotware and data lives, and cloud engines make that possible with no loss of flexibility. Cloud engines can even be re-configured with new nodes, without interrupting the hosted apps and services — the ICP protocol just handles it, granting complete sovereignty and freedom from vendor lock-in.

In advance of general release, cloud engines are already being used by governments and NGOs seeking to create sovereign cloud tech stacks and apps. On general release, they will be used in far more mainstream ways too.

Here are the details of what's coming.

*** Agentic Infrastructure ***

In the future, and really already today, nearly all of our apps and services will be created by AI agents rather than humans. Further, next generation software is "AIware," which has AI deeply integrated on the inside, which allows it to provide superpowers relative to traditional software.

Agents have different needs when they building things. They can write software orders of magnitude faster than humans, and we will demand they update our production apps and services at the speed of conversation. Functionality will be fluid and its shape will change to match what we want.

On traditional tech stacks, updating apps and services is a necessarily laborious and risky process for three reasons: 1) a security flaw might be introduced, 2) a systems configuration change might break them, and 3) the way that data is migrated might cause some to be lost, often in subtle ways that aren't detected at the time of the upgrade. This means that AI agents can't just be let of the leash to build and update at the speed they can.

ICP cloud engines solve this. Hosted software is tamperproof, so agents can update without needing security teams in the loop. Hosted software is serverless, and the data lives in the logic, so apps don't. need things like operating systems and databases configured to run, so agents can update apps without having sysadmin teams in the loop either. And, if Motoko 2.0, the world's first languge targeting agents is used as the backend language, its framework is able to detect when an app update by AI might cause data loss, and simply require the agent writing the code to try again, reducing potentially catastrophic data loss to a harmless retry.

Crucially, apps built with Motoko can also put AI agents on the inside, so that subject to permissions, they can see the data graph in the persistent memory used by serverless software on ICP, and access its functions. This enables you to instruct agents to do things in the apps for you, such as analyzing data, or performing actions, with great flexibility and power.

ICP cloud engines are agentic infrastructure that change the game — and it will be possible to use them as such from the moment they are released.

There is already a government using internal production software built on a cloud engine using Caffeine. But cloud engines will meet a wide range of mainstream needs, from solorpeneurs to startups, SMEs to corporations, governments and NGOs.

*** Open SaaS ***

The obvious question, is if AIware is so much better, shouldn't all enterprises be running on it? We believe they should, and that his must be enabled.

This has been a labor of love for me. A new venture associated with me will release the Open SaaS suite for use on cloud engines once they have been running a short while, which suite, as you've probably guessed from the name, is open source and free.

Open SaaS is a suite of every important SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) app used to run enterprises around the world today, reimagined as onchain AIware that runs on ICP cloud engines. Because of the unique nature of the software that ICP hosts, installing and maintaining these sophisticated enterprise apps on a cloud engine is as easy as installing and managing a phone app.

A small selection of the apps: Open Team, Open HR, Open Accounts, Open CRM, Open Projects, Open Email, Open Messaging, Open Signing, Open Knowledge, Op... etc. There are many more, and there will be surprises.

The user experiences are beautiful, and easily compete with the big money SaaS screens many enterprises are used to. Moreover, the are linked to what I called a "software factory" driven by AI, and the more enterprises that use them and provide feedback, the better they will get, in realtime.

Today's expensive SaaS silos make it hard to integrate and combine enterprise data, and to unleash the full power of AI. They are the opposite to Open SaaS.

In the future, enterprise users will spend far more time in AI chat than on SaaS screens. That's the future that Open SaaS enables and unlocks. Enterprise users can even say to their Open SaaS suite, "make me more profitable," and it will have a go.

The big surprise coming for the world: once you run your enterprise on AIware, and AI can access all your data in realtime, and is integrated with your software's actual functions — it can become as good at running your enterprise as writing software for you.

It's revolutionary, and ICP is pioneering this. Not a narrative, but real decentralized network tech.

Something I can share: DFINITY is in the process of migrating to Open SaaS from a vast suite of expensive SaaS silos, and is already reaping big benefits as we refocus ourselves for the era of AI.

****

What does this mean for the project?

I believe ICP cloud engines are the vector that will transform the the Internet Computer into a mainstream agentic infrastructure tech platform for enterprise— which direction platforms like Caffeine have already helped the network travel, by enabling many tens of thousands of users and enterprises to create onchain apps on the shared network through online conversation. Now, the next and most important phase is approaching.

Our go-to-market will proceed quietly as we rollout coupons and work to fettle the new network functionality, but I think that in hindsight, the launch of cloud engines will be seen as the most pivotal moment in Internet Computer history since network launch.

With this, ICP shall show the industry how networks can provide real agentic infrastructure.

Bear with us as we tie up loose ends. We never stop working, and you can be sure that we're trying to get this out as fast as possible 💪⚡️💥
