so we might be buying equity in a company that's rebuilding US healthcare payments this major new entrant in our ecosystem is @solumglobal its veteran team chose to build on ICP and secured a partnership with @dfinity their intent is to save the hundreds of billions of dollars currently being lost to fraud and waste, and get doctors paid instantly instead of having to wait for months to achieve this, they're introducing a first-of-its-kind on-chain payment processor that uses auditable AI to catch fraud and a purpose-built stablecoin that settles without bouncing through middlemen soon, a proposal will go live to transfer 15,000 ICP from our treasury. if passed, this will represent a convertible note, we will either get our ICP back with 10% APY or convert it into Solum equity at 25 cents per share (1/2 the price of the current capital raise). it would also be the first part of a broader partnership. we'll be writing a full DD report on Solum, co-marketing across both communities, and helping welcome them into the ICP ecosystem. head to HQ to discuss. in three hours, we're hosting a space with Solum's founder to dig in.

🚨JUST IN: CAFFEINE V3.0 OPENS A NEW ERA ON ICP IN A FEW DAYS @Dfinity's Internet Computer (ICP) is scheduled to launch the Caffeine v3.0 upgrade on April 7th, enabling natural language-based application development. According to Dominic Williams (@dominic_w), the update introduces "Cloud Engines," enabling enterprises to deploy private subnets using a mix of sovereign nodes and traditional AWS instances to achieve specialized throughput. A new "Internet Intelligence Network" (IIN) is being proposed to provide verifiable AI inference at lower costs than centralized GPU clouds.

Caffeine v3.0 ☕️, Tuesday, April 7th caffeine.ai A new era begins on ICP in a few days. A huge Caffeine upgrade will take place. This is about more than the new features it packs: what can be built on the Internet Computer through chat alone shall advance by a quantum leap. It will blow your mind, because you can go so much further: those wanting to build apps and services on self-writing cloud, where every technical task is automated and directed by natural language interaction, may rationally decide that the Internet Computer is the place to be thanks to the work of Caffeine Labs. But, stunning as the v3.0 advance is, this only marks the beginning of a new beginning for ICP. Caffeine is just getting started, and will be joined by other major advances unfolding in the ICP ecosystem. Several things are coming together: 1) The architecture that powers Caffeine v3.0 will ensure it continues to grow more powerful as time goes on. We expect that it will be possible for non-technical people to build almost anything on the Internet Computer in the future. Eventually special features like "Caffeine Snorkel" will also make it possible to auto-migrate legacy apps and services to the Internet Computer. 2) For the first time, Caffeine will allow all users to publish the App Market, so that other users can install copies of their apps, and if they want, remix them, since apps from the market are mutable and can be changed as needed. This is important change will be followed by the activation of monetization features, which will kickstart a new open source onchain economy based around the AI-driven development of re-usable apps and services. 3) Caffeine apps use ICP Blob Storage (which is currently exclusively available to Caffeine owing to its ongoing development) to maintain copies of files and binary large objects. Coming advances will enable Caffeine apps to store data at the world's best $/GB — making the Caffeine the perfect plartform to use to build apps that must store and share large amounts of data (for example, for a photo sharing app, or a team communications platform where video meetings are routinely recorded and archived). 4) Caffeine will soon be joined by new ICP "cloud engine" functionality, and then, the Internet Intelligence Network (IIN) — two new parts of the Internet Computer. Cloud engines will provide enterprise users with much more control over how the Internet Computer hosts their apps and services. IIN will provide everyone with access to inference on open weights models at lower cost than is possible today (for example allowing a business to create an e-commerce website on the Internet Computer where every customer can be helped through product exploration by AI, without worrying about the cost). 5) Cloud engines, which are essentially private subnets that can be controlled via a control panel, enable the Internet Computer to provide a cloud experience that feels more familiar to prosumers and enterprises used to centralized clouds. Users will be able to select the nodes combined to power their cloud engines, and nodes can include cloud-on-cloud nodes, such as AWS instances, as well as traditional sovereign node hardware. These nodes can be chosen to match precise throughput needs, or regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR). The Internet Computer is thus transforming into a mass market cloud solution. 6) Powerful additional advantages of cloud engines include a) since they are essentally Internet Computer subnets, as usual hosted apps and services are tamperproof and unstoppable, and don't require support by security and systems administration personnel, b) hosted apps can have their query throughput auto-scaled horizontally by adding nodes, which can be located in proximity to demand, and can have ther update throughput auto-scaled by splitting the engines — enabling auto-scaling where software does not have to be updated — and c) owners can traverse underlying compute vendors and geographies and jurisdictions, simply by adding and deleting nodes, which can be done without interrupting hosted apps. 7) The Internet Intelligence Network is an extension to the Internet Computer that we plan to propose to the NNS soon (which I have mentioned before). This will be powered by community-operated hardware devices, which crucially, in combination with new technology we are developing, shall shall facilitate provision of lower per-token inference costs than AI clouds can currently achieve within targeted market segments (low costs that are derived from the technology involved, in contrast to certain contemporary decentralized GPU networks that use token appreciation to drive unsustainable subsidization flywheels). 8) A key unique additional aspect of IIN is that inference is verifiable, just like onchain compute — that is, those supplying prompts and context will know that their results are correct, and shall not have to trust that the IIN nodes powering inference haven't changed their results (for example, by inserting advertising, or malicious content). The strength of the verification is configurable. In the default mode, there will be no discernible difference in cost or performance/time thanks to the techniques developed. In higher security modes, useful for special high-security purposes, verification cost will scale linearly with every node checking the inference, while the hit to performance/time remains very small. (Note that because inference is non-deterministic, inference verification is technically challenging and novel, and will advance the state-of-the-art). In all, v3.0 is part of the Internet Computer's march towards the mainstream cloud market, which is predicted to generate $1 trillion in revenue in 2026, and $2 trillion in 2030. While we see the Internet Computer as a revolutionary decentralized cloud platform, rather than a network beloning to the web3 industry per se, we note that after tokens (Bitcoin), and DeFi (Ethereum), onchain cloud is the first new decentralized network functionality to unlock mass market potential — and it's happeing exclusively on the Internet Computer, which is by far the most technologically advanced network the world has ever seen. ICP is advancing to define an important new cloud sector, where the network is the cloud, and the cloud is self-writing.

Alpha: Caffeine V3 will mean a radical change to the technical architecture powering our platform. We are moving from one world computer to another. More details soon!

ICRC Index Update: Significant Cycle Optimization ♾️ Proposal 140964 has been executed, making the latest ICRC Index canister (ledger-suite-icrc-2026-03-09) available for all SNS DAOs. THE HIGHLIGHTS: 🔹 New Polling Algorithm: The index now uses an adaptive wait time. If no new blocks are received, the wait time doubles; if blocks are found, it halves. 🔹 Cost Reduction: This change significantly reduces running costs for SNS ledgers and token operators, especially those with less frequent transaction activity. 🔹 Adaptive Clamping: By default, the wait time is clamped between 1 and 10 seconds to maintain a balance between responsiveness and efficiency. 🔹 Recommendation: It is recommended that all token operators—not just SNSs—upgrade to this version to optimize cycle consumption. 🔗 Proposal Details: dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/140964
