DFINITY maintains the Internet Computer, a public blockchain that hosts smart contracts capable of serving web content directly to users' browsers. This system works by using "canisters" to run code and store data on a decentralized network, allowing applications to function without traditional centralized servers or cloud providers. Unlike other blockchains that primarily handle financial transactions, this platform is designed to host entire social media networks and enterprise systems at the same speed as the traditional internet. The organization's goal is to create a decentralized ecosystem where all software and internet services can run in a reimagined form on a public network.

Solum Global and DFINITY partner to build the U.S. Healthcare's first stablecoin payment platform on the Internet Computer. Last updated: March 26, 2026 1:10 pm Solum Global, Inc., a fully decentralized and permissionless blockchain protocol and DFINITY Foundation, creator and lead contributor of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), today announced a strategic partnership to build an instant, transparent payment infrastructure for the U.S. healthcare industry, eliminating the 30-to-120-day reimbursement cycles that delay billions in provider payments. The platform will introduce sgUSD, a stablecoin purpose-built for healthcare transactions, running on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), a decentralized network that allows applications and services to operate fully on-chain without reliance on centralized cloud providers or legacy clearinghouses. Solum's AI-driven system also identifies fraud, waste, and abuse, which is estimated to have cost the U.S. healthcare system $1.4 trillion in 2025. sgUSD and the Electronic Health Wallet sgUSD is a digital dollar for healthcare that is fully backed by U.S. Treasury instruments and cash reserves, with independent verification of those reserves recorded on-chain via HTTPS outcalls. Solum Global provides a seamless solution for the U.S. healthcare industry by integrating sgUSD with its proprietary Solum Solution Electronic Health Wallet (EHW), a platform that unifies Electronic Health Records, Revenue Cycle Management, and claims adjudication in a single decentralized application running on ICP canisters. The Solum EHW replaces fragmented web2 systems with a unified web3 gateway: clinical documentation links directly to payment execution and real-time insurance verification. Solum's sgUSD "digital dollar" will also allow for near-instant settlement on DFINITY's Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), the most advanced blockchain for transparency and auditability. The patient's electronic health record is readily accessible to both clinician and patient, enabling instant visibility of coverage, while also offering HIPAA-standard encryption and audit logs. Solum's revenue model includes sgUSD transaction fees, interest earned on U.S. Treasury and other liquid assets, onboarding fees for new platform clients, a percentage of income from monthly gross billing of RCM clients, and a fee for immediate on-chain Fast Pay settlements. "Healthcare systems are catastrophically slow and error-prone, with stranded capital in long payment cycles creating a financial crisis for many physicians and hospitals across the U.S.," said Kirk St Johns, Founder of Solum Global. "By building on ICP, we're deploying an entirely new architecture - one where smart contracts serve the application, AI audits every claim, and settlement happens in minutes. DFINITY's technology is the only platform that makes this possible." "The Internet Computer is a network that provides a novel open cloud platform. The network leverages advanced mathematics and computer science to host serverless software that's immune to traditional infrastructure hacks and guaranteed to run. This provides an outstanding platform for AI-based applications and services where security, privacy, and resilience are paramount concerns, while also supporting end-to-end sovereignty. Validation of healthcare claims and routing of healthcare value flows is exactly the kind of application this new network-as-cloud technology stack was built for," said Dominic Williams, Founder and Chief Scientist of the DFINITY Foundation. Why Solum Built on Internet Computer Protocol The DFINITY Foundation created the Internet Computer (ICP) as a decentralized cloud infrastructure that allows companies, governments, institutions, and individuals to host web experiences, store data, and run tamper-proof software entirely on-chain, without reliance on cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. The February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare exposed fragility in centralized healthcare, disrupting 40% of U.S. medical claims and exposing 192.7 million patient records, which cost $3 billion in damages. ICP eliminates these single points of failure by replicating data across independent nodes in geographically distributed data centers, so no single cloud vendor can be compromised. Compared to EVM chains, ICP offers dramatically lower storage costs, native web-serving, and sub-second finality. The network has maintained 100% uptime since genesis, and its technology stack provides Solum capabilities no other chain can deliver. Canister Smart Contracts: Solum's Electronic Health Wallet (EHW), AI claims engine, and sgUSD ledger run inside ICP canisters - autonomous, tamper-proof compute units that serve a full web application from the blockchain, hold their own state, and finalize in one to two seconds. HTTPS Outcalls: Canisters natively fetch external data through consensus-verified HTTPS requests - no oracle middleware required. Solum uses this to pull live payer policy data, verify insurance coverage, and confirm treasury reserve attestations directly on-chain. Security & Privacy: Patient and provider authentication uses ICP's Internet Identity - a password-less, biometric login anchored to chain-key cryptography that provides HIPAA-grade access controls without centralized identity servers. Health records are encrypted on-chain via ICP's VetKeys protocol, which uses threshold decryption controlled by network consensus, so data is decryptable only by authorized parties - without exposing private keys to any single node. AI Inference: Solum runs its AI engine directly in canisters to audit claims in real time, flagging duplicate charges, upcoding, and billing anomalies before payment is released. Every AI decision is deterministic, auditable, and tamper-proof. Healthcare spending in the U.S. reached approximately $4.9 trillion in 2025, which is nearly one out of every six dollars in the economy. Solum's partnership with DFINITY'S ICP to launch sgUSD will transform the way medical practitioners and patients interact by streamlining payment processes and securely managing medical history, paving the way for a more efficient and transparent healthcare experience.

Internet computers launches Switzerland's first domestic subnet at Davos 2026. January 21, 2026 * internet computer (ICP) introduced Switzerland's first domestic subnet with 13 local nodes. * DFINITY strengthens its 2026 roadmap. ICP Significantly reduce token inflation using Swiss Cloud Engine, AI-powered apps, and Mission 70. DFINITY Foundation announced the launch of Swiss Subnet on the second day of its World Computer Day event in Davos. This event is similar to the previous one reported The CNF award has received praise from world leaders such as US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. According to DFINITY founder Dominic Williams, the new Swiss subnet is based on Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) features 13 independent node providers based in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. This ensures that all data storage and processing remains entirely within Swiss borders, allowing institutions to comply with local regulations such as GDPR. So excited, @SwissSubnet first national subnet launched at WCD in Davos Deploy apps to sovereign internet computers/ICP Area to keep all data and calculations in Switzerland to meet new regulations, sovereignty goals, etc. Next, the Swiss subnet cloud engine pic.twitter.com/aEWwbf1Vvm - Dom Williams.icp | (@dominic_w) January 20, 2026 The move is a response to growing doubts from Swiss regulators about the use of foreign cloud service providers such as Microsoft 365. By providing a decentralized infrastructure that can verify the physical location and processing of data, Swiss Subnet is expected to provide a trusted alternative for banks, hospitals, government agencies, and businesses that require complete data sovereignty. The system is designed to serve regulated industries and provides a tamper-proof cloud environment that is not managed by a centralized technology company. Launch of the Swiss subnet related to the 2026 Internet Computer roadmap. To coincide with the launch, DFINITY founder Dominic Williams introduced Swiss Cloud Engines, a service that allows businesses to rent infrastructure directly on new subnets. Williams also made some announcements. Roadmap updateWe'll focus on Web3-native no-code tools and enterprise resolution cloud solutions centered around AI and compliance. He highlighted the fact that cryptographic security will be integrated into AI workloads and declared that AI-generated self-written apps will be the future of cloud computing. A new roadmap for Internet computer protocols: explained This by CNF is a response to a change in strategy announced late last year, where core protocol development gave way to market adoption. Williams previously asserted that 2026 will be the year that makes Internet computer protocol infrastructure more accessible to real-world use cases. At the same time, a recent poll on Mission 70 shows that passed More than 53% agree, and it is also core to this direction. The proposal includes an overhaul of tokenomics aimed at curbing inflation, CNF reported. ICP This includes increasing cycle burn rates associated with on-chain activity and decreasing supply to increase the long-term utility of the token.
