Dear ICP community, the Internet Computer has now been running strong for 5 years 👏👏👏 Here is a celebratory preview of ICP "cloud engines," the sovereign frontier cloud technology the network shall soon provide from Main points: — Cloud engines enable anyone to spin up their own sovereign frontier cloud. The technology involves an extraordinary inventive step, in which cloud is created from a mathematically secure network of nodes. The nodes run as part of the Internet Computer network ( but are selected and configured by the cloud engine's owner. — The frontier cloud provided by engines is strongly focused on enabling AI agents to build and update online applications and services for us. The world is changing fast, and nearly all new online apps and services are already being built with the help of AI, and thus cloud engines target the future of cloud. — Software hosted on cloud engines is tamperproof, which means that it is immune to infrastructure hacks, because it runs inside a mathematically secure network protocol, rather than on computers directly. This means that AI agents, and those building with them, don't need to have a security team in the loop, or to trust someone else's security team. This is crucial, because in the future, non technical people will demand the freedom to build with full automation — where they just need to issue instructions to AI about what to build, and don't need to worry about anything or anyone else. Of course, apps and services running on engines are also vastly safer from the new breed of hacker being enabled by frontier AI. (The cloud engines themselves are also "tamperproof." Even if a hacker gains physical access to some portion of a cloud engine's nodes, and can make arbitrary changes, the computations and data of the hosted apps and services cannot be corrupted or interrupted so long as the network's fault bounds aren't exceeded. The recent hack of Vercel, a major cloud platform, which gave hackers access to the apps it hosted, provides additional perspective on the importance of this advantage.) — Software hosted on cloud engines is guaranteed to run, so long as a sufficient number of the engine's nodes are running. This means that AI can build applications and services without the need to have a human systems admin team constantly tinkering with the underlying platform to keep it running, which is again crucial, because in the future, non technical people will expect the freedom to use AI to build without the support of others. — New frontier programming language technology, in the form of the Motoko language developed by Caffeine Labs, leverages seminal "orthogonal persistence" technology that unifies program logic and data to deliver further unlocks for AI (Motoko is the first computer language being developed that targets agents that are writing software rather than humans engineers per se). Nowadays, AI can build and update production apps at a prodigious rate, even at the speed of conversation. But it can also make mistakes, and there's a risk that an update it creates might be "lossy" in the sense it causes some transformed data to be lost. Again, in this new world, it's both undesirable and impractical for everyone to have to have a systems admin team on-hand to detect lossy updates and roll them back, but Motoko provides a solution: it can detect new software updates are lossy before they are applied, reducing potentially catastrophic errors by AI to harmless coding retries. — Software hosted on cloud engines is "serverless" but unlike traditional serverless software, directly it directly incorporates data through "orthogonal persistence." Another key purpose is simplify backend software logic and fuel the modeling power of AI by increasing abstraction (sorry for the technical language!!!). Put simply, this enables AI to produce more sophisticated backends, faster, and at dramatically lower costs, as measured by the number AI API tokens consumed during coding. (Tip for the technical: orthogonal persistence is a new paradigm where "the program is the database," and data lives inside program variables, which is possible because it's as if hosted software runs forever in persistent memory). — An expanding database of skills at shall make it possible to develop and directly deploy apps and services to your cloud engines directly from Claude Code, Perplexity, Codex and other AI platforms. Further, your account on can be connected, so that new apps and updates created through conversation automatically appear hosted from your cloud engine. In the future, R&D is going to be very seamless. You converse with AI, and your secure and unstoppable apps or services are created or updated. Cloud engines are designed to directly support this "self-writing cloud" future where we can work hands-free. — Tech sovereignty is becoming a huge issue worldwide, with governments and corporations seeking to create sovereign tech stacks owing to geopolitical tensions. Increasingly, people are realizing that tech provided by foreign nations can come with hidden backdoors and kills switches, from the base platform, right up through hosted apps and services. ICP technology is open source, and those building on ICP using AI own their own source code. When you have the source code, you can verify that there are no backdoors, and when you own the source code thanks to AI, you can update it at will, freeing you from vendor lock-in. But cloud engines take sovereignty much further... — You create a cloud engine by selecting the nodes that will be combined. You can choose the class of nodes used, and their number, but more importantly, you can choose who operates the nodes, and where they are located. Almost any configuration is possible, because the Internet Computer scales the security privileges afforded to hosted software within the network according to configuration (software hosted on cloud engines can directly interoperate with software on other engines and traditional subnets, but base restrictions are applied according to security rules). A cloud engine can be created within a region such as Europe, to comply with regs such as GDPR, or completely within a sovereign state like Switzerland or Pakistan. But cloud engines go further still... — Sovereignty is also about freedom from vendor lock-in. Cloud engines are essentially ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) network configurations, and this means the underlying compute nodes they combine can be swapped out without interrupting their hosted apps and services. This is a big deal. In addition, cloud engines now support nodes that are instances running on Big Tech's clouds, in addition to nodes that are dedicated specialized hardware, as per the Gen I and Gen II nodes that dominate the Internet Computer today. For example, it is possible to have an engine running across different AWS data centers, say, and then reconfigure the engine to run across a mixture of AWS, Google, Azure and Hetzner for even more resilience, without the users of hosted apps and services noticing a thing. That's true freedom. — Sovereign AI is becoming increasingly important too, and cloud engines allow special "AI nodes" to be added to them, so that hosted software can perform inference on hardware provisioned by the owner from a location the owner has selected. Even though the AI nodes are only accessible within the cloud engine, they can still benefit from the forthcoming Internet Intelligence Gateway (IG), which will make it possible to validate inference performed on key frontier open weights LLMs, even when the inference is performed on completely independent AI clouds. When the results of inference are received, this technology can verify that neither the prompt+context (input) nor the inference result (output) have been modified, and that the results were produced by the precise LLM expected. This ensures that AI clouds don't cheat by running inference on cheaper models than are being paid for, and bad actors aren't modifying the inputs or outputs to surreptitiously insert advertising into results, say, or change facts, or insert malware when code is being generated. What's super cool about this technology is the cost of the verification is scalable. A very valuable additional security can be achieved with only 1-2% of extra cost. — Scaling apps and services when they hit capacity limits is another thorny problem that cloud engines help the world address. Engines make scaling possible without rewriting or reconfiguring software. The query workload capacity of hosted software can be horizontally scaled simply by adding new nodes to an engine, and nodes can also be added in geographical proximity to demand. Meanwhile, update workload capacity can first be scaled-up by swapping an engine's nodes out for the next class up, and then when no larger class of node is available, horizontally scaled-out by "splitting" the engine into two, which doubles available capacity. (Technical tip: horizontally scaling update capacity by splitting engines requires multi-canister architectures). — For those who have been following how Caffeine builds apps that can efficiently store large numbers of files, I should mention that apps built on cloud engines will also support the new ICP Blob Storage cloud network (since cloud engines currently have up to about 3 TB of memory, which apps storing large amounts of files can easily exceed). We are also working on allowing blob storage nodes to be added to cloud engines, to enable sovereign mass blob storage within an engine, similarly to how AI nodes can be added currently. — Lastly, but certainly not least, I should mention that cloud engines are multi-blockchain capable, and ready for digital assets, thanks to the clever math at their core. For example, an e-commerce service built on a cloud engine can securely accept and custody stablecoin payments, or a multi-chain DEX could be hosted. Further, engines can support software autonomy (software orchestrated and controlled by other autonomous software, in a decentralized way) and can themselves be orchestrated by SNS technology, and thus run autonomously too. Today, though, the focus is on *mainstream* cloud. This year, the cloud industry will generate approximately one trillion dollars in revenue. That number is already huge, but is expected to grow to two trillion dollars by 2030. After years of continuous development, which have seen more than $500m spent on R&D, the Internet Computer network is now tacking directly toward this mainstream cloud market with cloud engine technology. In their first version, cloud engines are not meant to be a cloud panacea. For example, currently they are not ideal for working with big data. You should use something like DataBricks for that. Cloud engines are carefully targeted at enabling AI to produce traditional online applications and services, including SaaS, in a safer and more productive way, which represents a new market segment with tremendous potential. Of course, DFINITY will continue to work relentlessly to push forward ICP's capabilities, so expect further developments. It's worth mentioning that this cloud segment isn't just about creating new apps and services using AI, it's also about replacing legacy systems and apps built on super expensive SaaS services. Caffeine Labs is working to produce technology (Caffeine Snorkel) that can study an enterprise's legacy systems and app built on SaaS, create replacement systems and apps, and migrate the data, while supporting key stakeholders through the process over email and chat, with full automation. Thus the legacy systems and SaaS markets shall also be addressed by cloud engines. Zooming out, and reasoning in a more metaphysical way, we believe, as we always have, that there is room for a new kind of cloud created by mathematical networks, that provides seminal advances in the fields of security and resilience, as well as true sovereignty and freedom from lock-in. That this same technology, with the help of additional technologies like orthogonal persistence and Motoko, enables AI to build for us without the need for so much oversight, and to create more backend sophistication while consuming fewer AI API tokens, enables ICP to bring game-changing advances to the world. Cloud engines will work synergistically with the Intelligence Gateway, which will enable apps and services running on engines to seamlessly leverage AI, wherever that AI is running, while providing verifiability at extremely low cost for open weights frontier models. We believe that cloud engines represent an inflection point in the storied history of the Internet Computer project, and I'm very proud to be sharing the details with you on the network's fifth birthday 💪 I'll be back with more news soon!!

🐬🐬🐬PI NETWORK NEWS: Pi Network and the 100 Apps Ready for Mainnet: Understand Clearly, Wait Patiently, and Build Together 1. Frequently Asked Question: “Where Are the Promised 100 Apps?” As Pi Network progresses toward a truly decentralized blockchain ecosystem, the community naturally wonders: Where are the 100 decentralized applications (dApps) that were promised to be ready for Mainnet? This is a perfectly valid question, showing the community’s interest in the pace of ecosystem development and the role of the Pi Core Team in driving innovation. 2. The Pi Core Team Doesn’t Build Everything – The Community Is the Heart of the Ecosystem The key point to understand is: Pi Network is a community-driven project. The Pi Core Team is not responsible for building all the apps. Their focus is on building the infrastructure, tools, and a safe environment – empowering external developers to independently create and deploy applications. Pi provides: - An optimized blockchain platform for mobile devices - SDKs, APIs, and developer documentation - A governance model that encourages innovation 3. Early Stage: Community-Built dApps – Underfunded But Passionate In the early stages, many applications were created by passionate pioneers, self-funded and full of creativity. However, due to budget limitations, most of these apps remained in experimental or prototype form, not yet ready for wide-scale deployment. Despite their early-stage nature, these apps played a crucial role in demonstrating Pi's blockchain potential and encouraging broader developer engagement. 4. A New Turning Point: $100 Million Ecosystem Fund and Pi Network Ventures A major change has arrived: Pi Network Ventures and a $100 million ecosystem fund have officially launched.

🐬🐬🐬PI NETWORK NEWS: Pi Network and the 100 Apps Ready for Mainnet: Understand Clearly, Wait Patiently, and Build Together 1. Frequently Asked Question: “Where Are the Promised 100 Apps?” As Pi Network progresses toward a truly decentralized blockchain ecosystem, the community naturally wonders: Where are the 100 decentralized applications (dApps) that were promised to be ready for Mainnet? This is a perfectly valid question, showing the community’s interest in the pace of ecosystem development and the role of the Pi Core Team in driving innovation. 2. The Pi Core Team Doesn’t Build Everything – The Community Is the Heart of the Ecosystem The key point to understand is: Pi Network is a community-driven project. The Pi Core Team is not responsible for building all the apps. Their focus is on building the infrastructure, tools, and a safe environment – empowering external developers to independently create and deploy applications. Pi provides: - An optimized blockchain platform for mobile devices - SDKs, APIs, and developer documentation - A governance model that encourages innovation 3. Early Stage: Community-Built dApps – Underfunded But Passionate In the early stages, many applications were created by passionate pioneers, self-funded and full of creativity. However, due to budget limitations, most of these apps remained in experimental or prototype form, not yet ready for wide-scale deployment. Despite their early-stage nature, these apps played a crucial role in demonstrating Pi's blockchain potential and encouraging broader developer engagement. 4. A New Turning Point: $100 Million Ecosystem Fund and Pi Network Ventures A major change has arrived: Pi Network Ventures and a $100 million ecosystem fund have officially launched. This brings: - Strong financial support to upgrade promising apps - Opportunities to scale and enhance advanced features - Marketing assistance, user acquisition support, and long-term sustainability This is a decisive push paving the way for a wave of high-quality dApps ready for Mainnet. 5. A Diverse, Decentralized Ecosystem Built by the Community The Pi Core Team does not control everything but builds the foundation for an open ecosystem, where developers, entrepreneurs, and the community play leading roles. This decentralization helps to: - Increase application diversity - Avoid reliance on a single entity - Encourage collaboration and innovation from many directions 6. 100+ Apps Will Soon Arrive – And It’s More Than Just a Number As funding, tools, and community momentum converge, an app explosion is predictable: More than 100 dApps ready for Mainnet will soon emerge, spanning areas like: - Decentralized finance (DeFi) - Gaming (GameFi) - Social media - Supply chain - Payments, asset management, and more This will expand Pi’s real-world utility, attract more users, and strengthen Pi Network’s position in the Web3 space. 7.

How does voting on amendments work? Note: Video attached, links to the video and sources on all platforms in the second tweet. I would appreciate you subscribing to me on YouTube and TikTok as well. In the decentralised world of the XRP Ledger, there isn’t a single entity or authority dictating the rules or making unilateral decisions. Instead, the ledger relies on a process involving a select group, known as the Unique Node List (UNL) validators, to navigate its course, particularly when making changes or updates, known as "amendments". Amendments for the XRPL are proposed alterations to functionality and can encompass various aspects, such as introducing new features, enhancing existing functionalities, or rectifying issues. While the network is open to everyone, the 35 UNL validators hold the voting power to decide whether these proposed amendments get a green light. The network independently tallies these votes and determines if an amendment has garnered enough "yes" votes to be instituted as a new rule. If an amendment secures a "yes" from enough nodes for a continuous two-week period, it becomes activated, making the introduced change or feature available. The threshold is 80% of all eligible nodes. An intriguing aspect of this process lies in the evolution of rippled itself. In earlier software versions, servers would automatically vote "yes" to any amendments they understood unless configured otherwise by their operators. However, in more recent versions, such as 1.9.2 and newer, the default to voting was changed to "no" for new features, except for changes to fix bugs. Regardless of whether the default vote is "yes" or "no", it’s imperative for the operators, those who manage the servers, to assess the impact of amendments diligently. They ought to decide their vote based on their best judgement and the criteria they deem significant. This information is pivotal in sharing insights on amendments and elucidating how validators should cast their votes. When a rule has been in place for two years, it can be "retired". This means it becomes a standard part of how things work and isn’t considered an amendment anymore. It's like the rule becomes so normal that it's just a regular part of the game. If you are curious to see how validators vote and the progress of certain amendments is, you can check the visualisation on xrpscan. Please remember that UNL nodes can be added or dropped at any time, which means the number of nodes can change. The threshold in percent remains the same. In simpler terms, the XRPL employs a democratic approach to implement changes, albeit with voting power concentrated in the hands of the 35 UNL validators. Amendments, or proposed changes, need a substantial amount of "yes" votes, from 80% of all eligible nodes, to become a permanent part of the ledger’s operation. It’s crucial for server operators to thoughtfully consider how they vote on amendments, ensuring the network remains secure and operates effectively for all participants. The unwavering commitment of UNL node operators is sole to the XRPL, irrespective of the preferences or wishes of any particular party. All participants tirelessly endeavour to ensure the ledger remains secure and operational at all times. NOTE: As voting is a hot topic, I quoted the AMM Tweet, allowing you to see the process in action.

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. You’ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Here’s what you’ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropic’s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on.

Vibe computing is here. Or, as Matt Deitke @mattdietke, cofounder of Vercept, puts it "the first true AI operating layer" is here. I use it on my Mac, prompt to it, and it does stuff. Like changes system settings, watch how I work and gives suggestions, or copies and pastes from one application into another. I'm highly interested in how AI is changing how we work, so I sat down with Matt for an hour to get a much better look at how he thinks, and what his AI operating layer, Vy, is for. Here's what ChatGPT learned after I fed it the transcript: ++++++++++++ Vercept AI + Vi: Rethinking How We Use Computers 🚀 What It Is Vi is an AI-powered assistant that can control your entire Mac screen like a human would — moving the mouse, typing, clicking, navigating apps. It’s being called the first true AI operating layer — what you dubbed “AI operating system” or “vibe computing.” Unlike traditional assistants (Siri, Copilot, ChatGPT), Vy works across any app — from Descript to Chrome to Slack to Photoshop — and acts on your behalf. 🤯 Game-Changing Capabilities Does anything you can describe: “Unfollow people on X,” “Write a Word doc,” “Summarize my emails,” or “Plan my vacation in a spreadsheet.” Works via screenshots: Interprets your screen visually, just like a human would — no APIs or browser hooks needed. Cross-app workflows: Can copy data from one app to another, or handle complex tasks like “look up 10 Goodreads books, extract data, and fill a spreadsheet.” Understands vague language: Even if you don’t use exact names or phrasing, Vy figures it out. 🧠 Where It’s Going Will evolve to: Run in the background Manage multiple apps and windows Act like a team of virtual assistants Work on Apple Vision Pro and future AR/AI interfaces Long-term vision: Vy becomes a swarm of agents running “24/7 like a digital company” doing real, expert-level work. 💼 For Power Users & Enterprises Strong use cases for: Developers using Cursor or VS Code Researchers summarizing YouTube videos, PDFs, long threads Execs automating emails, calendar, reports Batching tasks, templates, and macros are coming: “Tell Elon X, Y, Z” → will soon run across apps and reuse workflows. 🔐 Privacy & Safety Runs locally, stores nothing permanently, doesn’t send screen data to servers.

“All new fails” - Zynga CEO Mark Pincus explains his favorite product principle “All new fails. If all new worked, we’d be using new stuff all the time. But how often do you change what’s on the front of your iPhone? How often do the top 10 or 25 apps change? They haven’t changed in 8 years because all new fails. A million new apps a year — they all fail.” This realization led Mark to develop a new approach to building products that he calls “Proven. Better. New.” And he explains how he used it to build Zynga Poker into the largest poker site in the world. “De-risk it. Start with with what’s proven. You don’t have the right to change proven. You should copy every pixel of [an experience that already works — legally, of course]… What you think is ‘better’ is called ‘new.’ When you say it’s better, that’s because you’re naive. Grow up. I’m guilty of this too — we all are. We get emotional and fall in love with our own ideas, so we need something to hold us accountable.” Zynga Poker copied every other online poker game as their starting point. The next step is to add one thing that’s undeniably better for users. For Zynga poker this was not having to download the application. “You lose half your users every time they have to click download,” Mark explains. “I don’t even need to ask, I know that’s better.” The last step is to add something new that might work. For Zynga Poker, this was adding pictures of real people — often your friends — to the game. The game was an instant hit. Mark urges founders to look at the product through your user’s eyes — not your peers: “This isn’t about getting respect in this little bubble [of Silicon Valley]… This is about normal, real-life humans. They don’t care if you copied. They don’t care how innovative it is. All they care about is, ‘Does it feel better?’ And they can’t even tell you why… Innovation often comes in smaller bits.” Video source: a16z speedrun 🧊 (2025)

We're cooking up a mechanism to seamlessly resume streams and share state across Fluid functions. AI apps pose an interesting challenge to developers: they need to stream feedback in realtime, they have multiple agents behind the scenes, the conversation needs to be shareable, resumable, survive network disconnections. Even with this kind of stuff was non-trivial. You always need a durability source (in this demo below, you can see the 'stream id' in the URL), so a stateful bidirectional transport like WebSocket is *not enough*. Not only is it not enough, it's also not necessary (the demo below uses good ol' HTTP streaming). Also: what happens if the stateful Node WebSocket server was re-deployed mid-stream? or if it crashed? how do the streams recover? I'm excited for Vercel to give you all the primitives to execute on applications that raise the bar on not just performance, but also on fault tolerance. h/t Malte Ubl for sweating the details here.

WhatsApp founder Jan Koum on how to deal with competition “We always had competition - like from day one. There was actually a point in time where there was a new messaging app popping up every month. And every month there was an article on TechCrunch about how this awesome new messaging app is going to take down all other messaging apps.” But the early WhatsApp team basically just ignored it: “We didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to draw attention to ourselves. We actually - on purpose - tried to stay under the radar. But it was just kind of funny to see this dog and pony show that happened with all these apps. There was PingMe. There was MessageMe. There was GroupMe. There was Kick… There were 10 different messaging apps at some point which kept getting all this publicity.” Jan and team said: “Good for you. Have all the publicity you want. We will just stay under the radar and not have any attention drawn to us.” Jan continues: “We always had competition - be it big guys like iMessage or Facebook Messenger or little guys like Kick… Even today we have apps like Telegram… But we always said that our destiny is really in our hands. We can’t worry too much about competition. We have to worry about our product and our users. And if we spend a lot of time thinking about competition or looking at competition, we’re going to fail.” Video source: Stanford Online (2017)
