Internet Computer ($ICP) chystá cloudové enginy s tamper-proof architekturou, které mají udržet služby v provozu i při výpadku uzlů nebo datacenter. DFINITY je cílí na firmy a vlády jako odolnější alternativu ke centralizovanému cloudu.
A Resilient Alternative to Centralized Cloud@Dfinity's Internet Computer ($ICP) is preparing to roll out a new class of infrastructure called cloud engines, designed to address growing physical and cyber threats against centralized data centers. According to the ICP CEO, cloud engines use a tamper-proof architecture that keeps hosted services running even when individual nodes or entire data centers are taken offline.
The timing is deliberate. Data centers have faced increasing exposure to geopolitical conflict and targeted cyberattacks, making the reliability of centralized cloud infrastructure a pressing concern for enterprises and governments alike. Over 90% of cloud compute is controlled by providers governed by foreign intelligence laws , a concentration that DFINITY argues creates systemic risk for anyone running mission-critical applications on traditional infrastructure.
Software hosted on the Internet Computer is tamperproof, immune to infrastructure hacks, always-on, and capable of auto-scaling , according to the project's official documentation. The cloud engines concept extends this principle by giving enterprises the ability to select specific node configurations, by region or compliance requirement, while retaining the network's core resilience guarantees.
Zero-Trust Architecture for the Autonomous Economy DFINITY Foundation founder Dominic Williams has described cloud engines as a major Internet Computer innovation that lets enterprises own and configure their own corner of the cloud network, while maintaining tamper-proof hosting guarantees. The model supports running ICP on Amazon, Google, or sovereign hardware, with the ability to migrate between them and scale horizontally by adding nodes without changing application code.
The push into enterprise cloud comes alongside a broader productization effort. Sovereign, private subnets for regulated enterprise and government AI workloads are part of ICP's 2026 roadmap. Real-world adoption is already visible: in early 2026, ICP launched the first national sovereign subnet in Switzerland at World Computer Day in Davos, with a dedicated Pakistan Subnet partnership announced shortly after.
DFINITY frames cloud engines as foundational infrastructure for what it calls the 2026 autonomous economy, an environment where downtime is not an acceptable outcome for applications that run without human intervention. The DFINITY Foundation positions the Internet Computer as a sovereign frontier cloud designed to run web-scale applications and AI workloads in a tamperproof, always-on environment.

Dfinity Foundation chystá pro Internet Computer ($ICP) spuštění sady Open SaaS s desítkami on-chain služeb pro provoz firem přímo na blockchainu. Nabídka má být zdarma a snadno nastavitelná pomocí AI.
Dfinity Adds Open SaaS to Its Growing Cloud RoadmapThe @Dfinity Foundation is pushing further into enterprise territory. Alongside its upcoming Cloud Engines product, founder Dominic Williams has announced that the Internet Computer ($ICP) protocol is preparing to launch an "Open SaaS" suite, a collection of dozens of on-chain services designed to let users run full enterprises directly on the blockchain.
According to Williams' post on X, every user will be able to customize their own SaaS service using AI, with the offering described as free to use forever and straightforward to install. The announcement adds another layer to what has become an ambitious product push from @Dfinity in 2026.
Cloud Engines Lay the FoundationThe Open SaaS suite builds on top of Cloud Engines, @Dfinity's sovereign cloud infrastructure product. A Cloud Engine is a dedicated private subnet within the ICP ecosystem, configurable to a specific specification, allowing users to choose their own security, performance, and resilience parameters. The technology gives enterprises real control over their infrastructure while maintaining tamper-proof hosting guarantees.
The Internet Computer's underlying cloud runs software that supports AI agents generating apps, websites, and SaaS on demand, with generated apps allowing users to make arbitrary requests via fluid AI experiences because AI can see the data inside and dynamically create logic on the fly. The Open SaaS announcement appears to operationalize that vision into a product anyone can deploy.
Sentiment around the project has strengthened after @Dfinity teased its upcoming Cloud Engines initiative, an announcement many view as a major step toward expanding $ICP's role in AI and decentralized cloud infrastructure. The global cloud infrastructure and platform services market is estimated at roughly $781 billion in 2025, and @Dfinity's Mission 70 white paper explicitly frames ICP as a platform that could address a major portion of that market through Cloud Engines and its "self-writing cloud" approach.
For the broader ICP ecosystem, the Open SaaS suite signals that @Dfinity is moving beyond developer tooling and into products that could attract mainstream enterprise users, with onchain services, AI customization, and a zero-cost entry point as the core selling points.

Incrypted: DFINITY Foundation Announces New Economic Model for Internet Computer
DFINITY spustila MULTI/DEX v režimu Play Mode na Internet Computer jako komunitní stress test. Za 24 hodin přesáhl simulovaný objem obchodů 243 milionů USD.
DFINITY Goes Live with Community Stress Test@Dfinity has activated MULTI/DEX in Play Mode on multidex.ai, kicking off a structured community evaluation phase for what the project describes as a "DeFi 3.0" protocol built entirely on Internet Computer ($ICP).
The exchange went live on July 11, and simulated trading volume crossed $243 million within 24 hours by July 13, according to the platform's public dashboard. All balances during this phase are dummy assets, meaning no real capital is at risk. Each participant starts with $100,000 in simulated funds and competes on a public leaderboard.
The exchange recorded over $162 million in volume and more than $129,000 in simulated fees on its first day alone.
How MULTI/DEX WorksMULTI/DEX runs 100% on-chain and lists Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), Solana ($SOL), and $ICP against an ICPUSD quote asset. It combines a central limit order book with an automated market maker (AMM), and supports both spot trading and margin positions with up to 10x leverage. An insurance fund built from 5% liquidation penalties is designed to absorb bad debt and keep the exchange solvent.
The infrastructure sits under the governance of the Network Nervous System (NNS), Internet Computer's on-chain algorithmic governance mechanism, which directly orchestrates and updates the network. NNS proposal 142,743 created a dedicated SEV-enabled subnet with confidential computing to host the exchange, spanning seven nodes across seven independent providers and seven jurisdictions. A follow-up proposal on July 9 authorized deployment of the exchange canisters on that subnet.
The Play Mode phase is not just a product demonstration. DFINITY is using it as a formal community evaluation ahead of an official GitHub release. Developers are actively encouraged to probe the protocol for vulnerabilities, with bugs and exploits directed to a dedicated bounty email address. The broader goal is to gather enough community confidence to submit MULTI/DEX to an NNS vote for permanent, autonomous, ownerless execution.
DFINITY founder Dominic Williams framed the launch as a direct challenge to centralized exchanges, describing the project as "true DeFi that mimics CEXs." The play-mode period will determine whether the community endorses handing full control of the platform to the NNS.

Internet Computer zpracoval za jediný den více než 98,3 milionu transakcí, což je nový rekord sítě. Podle ChainSpect tak pokračuje v sérii rekordních průchodností.
@Dfinity's Internet Computer protocol ($ICP) reached a new weekly activity peak on Tuesday after processing more than 98.3 million transactions in a single day, according to data tracked by @ChainspectApp. The figure marks a record for the network and adds to a string of throughput milestones logged by the protocol in 2026.
Sustained Throughput, Not Just a One-Day Spike The record daily figure sits within a broader pattern of rising on-chain activity. The Internet Computer network recently sustained over 1,089 transactions per second for a continuous 24-hour period, with peaks reaching 1,300 TPS, demonstrating an ability to maintain enterprise-grade throughput rather than achieve short-lived peaks. According to ChainSpect's real-time tracker, Internet Computer has averaged 2,554 transactions per second over a recent week, more than double Solana's 1,153.
Over the past 180 days, Internet Computer processed approximately 75.7 billion transactions, with daily counts rising from roughly 300 to 350 million at the start of that period to peaks approaching 750 to 800 million in May. Even after that spike, the network has consistently maintained daily activity well above earlier levels, indicating that usage remains elevated rather than being a one-off event.
Developer Migration Driving On-Chain Demand @ChainspectApp metrics confirm that $ICP is sustaining record-level throughput as developers migrate complex workloads to on-chain environments. The protocol's architecture is designed to accommodate that shift. Dfinity uses a subnet-based architecture to scale horizontally, enabling multiple subnets to process tasks in parallel, making its performance closer to that of distributed cloud services. Internet Computer uses a reverse gas model where developers pre-pay computation costs in cycles burned from ICP tokens.
Recent infrastructure upgrades have also expanded the network's capacity. The DFINITY Foundation rolled out a major upgrade that doubled storage capacity across all 47 subnets, allowing applications to handle larger workloads and bringing total Internet Computer capacity to 94 TiB, with each subnet now supporting 2 TiB of replicated state. GitHub commits saw growth of 37% month over month in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 as developers gained confidence in the improved infrastructure.
The throughput record arrives alongside activity on the DeFi front. A public rollout of MULTI/DEX is currently underway, where participants use dummy assets to stress-test the protocol's architecture, replicating the speed and liquidity of centralized exchanges, with the outcome to be submitted to the Network Nervous System for a vote on permanent, autonomous execution. A successful launch would demonstrate that ownerless, on-chain DeFi can rival centralized exchange performance, potentially attracting significant liquidity and boosting the network's DeFi TVL, which has grown to over $250 million in 2026.

Zakladatel DFINITY potvrdil, že MULTI/DEX na ICP se tento týden spustí v „game mode“ s otevřeným beta testováním a veřejným zdrojovým kódem. Účastníci dostanou 100 000 USD v demo aktivech.
Internet Computer (@Dfinity) founder @dominic_w has confirmed that MULTI/DEX, the protocol ICP regards as the world's most advanced decentralized exchange, will launch in what the team is calling "game mode" later this week. The announcement marks one of the most anticipated releases on the $ICP network in recent memory.
What "Game Mode" Actually Means The game mode rollout is not just a marketing term. Alongside the live release, the protocol's source code will be made publicly available for community evaluation. Participants will receive $100,000 in dummy assets to compete in a simulated environment designed to mimic the speed and liquidity of centralized exchanges, effectively stress-testing the architecture under realistic conditions before any real capital is at risk.
The aim is to demonstrate that ownerless, on-chain DeFi can match the performance benchmarks that traders typically associate with centralized platforms, a claim that has historically been difficult for decentralized protocols to substantiate.
The Road to Permanent Deployment Once the evaluation phase concludes, MULTI/DEX is slated for submission to ICP's Network Nervous System (NNS). The NNS is the autonomous software that governs the Internet Computer blockchain and manages everything from economics to network structure. The NNS allows anyone in the world to submit and vote on proposals to the network, and if adopted, the proposals are immediately executed automatically, enabling the network to adapt and evolve in real time. Passing the NNS vote would mean MULTI/DEX operates under permanent, autonomous execution with no single owner able to alter or shut it down.
The move fits within a broader period of technical momentum for the Internet Computer. ICP sustained over 1,000 transactions per second for a full day as recently as July 3, 2026, showcasing enterprise-grade throughput. ICP DeFi TVL has grown from around $100 million in 2024 to more than $250 million in 2026. Whether MULTI/DEX can accelerate that trajectory will depend on how the community responds during this week's open evaluation.

BingX: What Is Internet Computer (ICP)? A Beginner's Guide
Internet Computer Crosses 294 Billion Transactions@Dfinity's Internet Computer Protocol ($ICP) has officially crossed 294 billion total transactions, reinforcing its position as one of the highest-throughput layer-1 blockchains in the crypto space. The network is recording real-time activity of 910.6 transactions per second, with a 480ms block time and near-instant finality.
The milestone builds on a rapid trajectory. According to Coinpedia, Internet Computer had already processed nearly 288 billion transactions in mid-June 2026, making it the most-used blockchain network globally by total activity at that point. The network has since pushed past 294 billion.
Low Fees, Growing InfrastructureOne of the protocol's most cited selling points is its fee structure. Average transaction costs on the network sit at roughly $0.00008845, a level that makes it practical for high-frequency on-chain applications, enterprise systems, and decentralized websites. BanklessTimes reported in May 2026 that Internet Computer averaged 2,554 transactions per second over a prior week period, more than double Solana's 1,153 over the same window.
The network currently operates with 673 validators and $506.4 million in total stake. Its fully diluted market cap stands at $1.16 billion. The architecture splits workloads across independently running subnets, each with its own consensus layer. Crypto News Navigator noted that late-2025 infrastructure upgrades, including the Fission and Stellarator milestones, delivered a 50% increase in compute throughput and doubled subnet storage capacity to 2 TiB per subnet.
On the tokenomics side, Mission 70, a governance proposal that passed with over 53% support in January 2026, targets a reduction in annual $ICP inflation from 9.72% to approximately 2.92% by end of 2026. If achieved, the supply dynamics would shift materially in favor of existing holders.
Despite the on-chain activity figures, $ICP's market price remains well below its 2021 launch highs. The gap between network usage and token valuation continues to be a point of debate among market participants, with some viewing the transaction milestone as a potential narrative catalyst if broader crypto market conditions remain supportive.

Caffeine od DFINITY se nově integruje přímo do Claude od Anthropic a umožňuje vytvářet a nasazovat aplikace na Internet Computer jen pomocí textových promptů. Vývoj tak probíhá bez psaní kódu.
@dfinity's Caffeine platform has launched a direct integration with @AnthropicAI's Claude, allowing users to generate and deploy production-ready applications on the Internet Computer blockchain entirely through natural language prompts, without writing a single line of code.
Building Apps Through Conversation @CaffeineAI is an AI-powered development platform built by the DFINITY Foundation. Caffeine generates web applications from text descriptions and deploys them directly on the Internet Computer blockchain. The Claude integration extends that capability into Anthropic's own LLM environment, meaning users can build, iterate on, and ship complex software without ever leaving the chat interface.
The move targets both casual "vibe coders" and enterprise teams. Unlike tools such as Cursor that help human developers write code faster, Caffeine positions itself as a complete replacement for technical teams. Users describe what they want in plain language, and an ensemble of AI models writes, deploys, and continually updates production-grade applications with no human intervention in the codebase itself.
Unlike many existing AI development tools, Caffeine handles everything from secure backend logic to full-stack deployment, enabling users to build secure, resilient, and sovereign apps with minimal effort. Once code is generated, Caffeine deploys the app directly onto the Internet Computer blockchain, where ICP's canister-based architecture ensures the app is secure, tamper-proof, and runs entirely on-chain without relying on centralized servers.
A Technical Edge on Data Safety One of Caffeine's more notable claims is around data integrity during updates, a recurring problem in AI-generated software. The platform builds applications using Motoko, a programming language developed by DFINITY specifically for AI use, which provides mathematical guarantees that upgrades cannot accidentally delete user data. The system employs what DFINITY calls "loss-safe data migration," where the framework automatically verifies that any transformation to an application's data structure will not result in data loss, refusing to compile or deploy code that could delete information unless explicitly instructed.
The Anthropic relationship is not entirely new. Pierre Samaties, chief business officer at DFINITY, noted at a San Francisco launch event that Anthropic had partnered with DFINITY on Caffeine, with developers observing that DFINITY had been using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet to drive Caffeine's backend logic on the ICP. The latest announcement formalises that relationship by surfacing Caffeine's capabilities directly inside Claude for all users.
The integration arrives as agentic AI tools gain broader enterprise traction. Anthropic's own enterprise case studies highlight organizations including Rakuten, CRED, TELUS, and Zapier as having deployed multi-agent coordination systems built on Claude. Bringing Caffeine into that environment gives ICP-based app development a direct route to that growing user base.

DFINITY spustila SEV Subnets na Internet Computer ($ICP), hardwarové zabezpečení, které má zabránit odhalení dat v prostém textu i při fyzickém přístupu k serverům.
@Dfinity has officially launched SEV Subnets on the Internet Computer Protocol ($ICP), a hardware-level security upgrade designed to eliminate plaintext data exposure across the network's node infrastructure.
What SEV Subnets DoThe integration uses Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) to ensure that sensitive data remains encrypted even when a party has direct physical access to the underlying server hardware. The practical implication is significant: anyone gaining physical access to a node machine would find only encrypted bytes, not readable data.
This directly addresses one of the most persistent weaknesses in traditional cloud computing, where data is processed in plaintext within the memory layer. In that conventional model, a data center operator, a rogue employee, or a sophisticated attacker with physical server access could, in principle, read data as it is being processed.
Björn Tackmann, Head of Research at @Dfinity, confirmed that the upgrade resolves this fundamental vulnerability. Tackmann is currently Head of Research at the DFINITY Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland. His role covers the cryptographic and security architecture that underpins the Internet Computer.
Broader Context for ICP's Security ArchitectureThe SEV subnet concept has been in development for some time. Node machines with SEV-SNP virtual machine encryption hardware on board are built so that if an adversary gains physical access, all they find inside is encrypted bytes, though DFINITY notes this technology provides additional protection layered on top of the security guarantees already provided by the protocol's own math and encryption.
The launch also connects to DFINITY's wider infrastructure push. The DFINITY Mission 70 whitepaper recommends making greater use of SEV-capable hardware to operate smaller but more secure subnets, intended to reduce inflation from node rewards and better align payments across the network.
For enterprises evaluating decentralized cloud alternatives, hardware-level memory encryption is increasingly a baseline requirement, particularly in regulated industries handling sensitive financial or personal data. The SEV Subnets launch positions Internet Computer as a more credible option in those conversations.
