In this World Computer Tech Talk, Elias Datler, Software Engineer at the DFINITY Foundation, introduces ICP Ninja – a simple, browser-based development environment for building and deploying Web3 applications on the Internet Computer. ICP Ninja removes the complexity of blockchain development. You don’t need local setup or deep technical skills. You can clone example apps, modify them in your browser, and launch them directly on the Internet Computer in minutes. What You’ll Learn: – What I…

Candid: ICP's interface description language that enables seamless interoperability between canisters and frontends written in different languages. The key innovation? Motoko actors automatically consume and produce Candid interfaces. Developers never need to read or write Candid code – it just works. This completes the picture: Motoko reimagines blockchain development as the first high-level, safety-oriented language co-designed for blockchain with: – Actor model – Persistent upgrades -…

Traditional blockchain upgrades require explicit state serialization – adding complexity and risk to every deployment. Motoko introduces Enhanced Orthogonal Persistence Automatic state persistence across code upgrades. No serialization required. No data loss. Constant-time operations regardless of data volume. The runtime handles all persistence. Motoko verifies every upgrade is safe. This transforms upgrades from complex migrations into simple deployments, enabling truly rapid develop…

Build with Motoko – it's a no-brainer Our type system catches errors at compile time – BEFORE you deploy. Before users lose money. Before headlines. – No silent overflows – Enforced null value handling – Automated memory management – No escape hatches to bypass safety This isn't a "cut-down blockchain language." It's got generics, pattern matching, first-class functions – everything you'd expect from a modern language. Except it won't let you ship broken code.

In this World Computer Tech Talk, Raymond Khalife, Director of Engineering at the DFINITY Foundation, explains how the Internet Computer enables developers to host web frontends directly from smart contracts. Most blockchains only run backend logic on-chain, leaving their web frontends on centralized servers. This creates security risks and breaks true decentralization. The Internet Computer changes that. It allows you to serve complete web apps from the blockchain itself – ensuring end-to-e…

Watch the October 2025 Global R&D session from DFINITY. This update covers the new ICP CLI preview release for improved developer experience, Motoko 1.0 features with extended dot notation and implicit arguments for cleaner code, known neuron transparency improvements for better governance, live demonstration of canister migration between subnets, Sui wallet implementation showcasing Chain Fusion capabilities with threshold signatures, and SQLite database integration running directly on ICP c…

We didn't adapt an existing language for blockchain. We built one from scratch. Meet Motoko. Designed specifically for the Internet Computer. Why? Because cramming blockchain into JavaScript or Rust leaves ugly seams. Clumsy libraries. Security nightmares.The secret sauce? The Actor Model: No race conditions No deadlocks Async programming that feels like writing sequential code This isn't theoretical. It's how we make blockchain development actually… easy.

Here's what happens when you query an Ethereum balance on the Internet Computer: "3 out of 4" consensus mode Responses must match or you get an error Pay in cycles (like gas) – no API keys, no credit cards Add Bitcoin to Ethereum and Solana, and you've got TRUE multi-chain DeFi.

What if your smart contracts could make HTTP requests? Not through one provider. Through DOZENS of nodes worldwide, all making the same request, reaching consensus on the response. No single point of failure. By design. DFINITY built the impossible: smart contracts that act like Web2 clients, but fully decentralized. Even better? They've done the heavy lifting – production-ready contracts for Ethereum AND Solana. Your move, "walled gardens"

In this World Computer Tech Talk, Georgi Harizanov, Director of Engineering at the DFINITY Foundation, introduces Internet Identity 2 – a major upgrade to authentication on the Internet Computer. This redesigned authentication service makes logging into Web3 applications faster, easier, and more secure for everyone, regardless of technical expertise. Discover how Internet Identity 2 leverages the latest passkey standards for passwordless authentication while also offering the flexibility of …

Your blockchain can't talk to the outside world. But the outside world needs to talk to it. One provider goes down = your urgent transaction is stuck. One API error = is that really $1M USDC or just $1? This is fine for your $10 memecoin. But customer funds? The Internet Computer solves this problem, watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/6LW_s8W_-xk

In this guide, Arshavir Ter-Gabrielyan, Senior Software Engineer, reveals how the Internet Computer's DAO Framework empowers developers to transform apps into community-owned platforms in just three simple steps. Learn why giants like Facebook and Twitter's centralized control poses risks to users, and discover how DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) create truly self-sovereign applications where communities – not CEOs – make the decisions. Using real-world examples including the…
