About DFINITY | Internet Computer
DFINITY is a Swiss-based not-for-profit foundation building the Internet Computer, a decentralised computing platform that runs complete software applications — backend logic, data storage and APIs — on-chain across an independently operated network of data centres. Applications execute inside "canisters", software containers combining code and state, and computation is paid for in "cycles" derived from the network's native ICP token. Founded by cryptographer Dominic Williams, DFINITY operates one of the largest R&D teams dedicated to advanced cryptography and distributed systems. It has increasingly positioned the Internet Computer as sovereign cloud infrastructure, letting governments and enterprises control where applications run and how data is governed without hyperscaler lock-in — including the Swiss Subnet, a nation-scale Pakistan Subnet, and Cloud Engine, which lets organisations configure their own subnet across providers such as AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
