Hello, Davos 🇨🇭 We’re kicking off #WorldComputerDay 2026. Today’s program is curated and hosted by our very own @TracyTrachsler (@dfinity). Get ready for a day of discussions on financial innovation, tech & security policy, and the AI-powered economy 🚀 (Note: all sessions are being recorded and will be live on our YouTube after the event)

Modern conflicts don't start with weapons. They start with information. At the WorldComputerDay in Davos, cyber and security experts discuss how AI is reshaping influence operations - and why education, not censorship, is the best defence. youtu.be/coj7tqm-KtE

Switzerland just leveled up on the blockchain. 🇨🇭 ​At #WorldComputerDay in Davos, the Swiss Subnet on ICP was officially announced. It’s a game-changer for data residency and institutional trust. ​Here is why it matters: ​📍 Geographic Certainty: All nodes are physically located in Switzerland/Liechtenstein. Your data stays in one jurisdiction. ⚖️ Compliance Ready: Tailored for finance, healthcare, and gov tech requiring high-trust standards. 🔒 Sovereignty by Design: Decentralized power meets regulatory clarity—no sidechains, just native ICP speed. ​The Internet Computer is proving that "decentralized" doesn't have to mean "jurisdiction unknown." ​#ICP #SwissSubnet #Web3 #DigitalSovereignty

During #WorldComputerDay in Davos, we officially announced the Swiss Subnet. Here's why we're incredibly excited about it and why you should be too: 🇨🇭 What is the Swiss Subnet on the Internet Computer? The Swiss Subnet is a dedicated ICP subnet designed for applications that require data residency, regulatory clarity, and high-trust infrastructure. So what does that mean in practice? 1️⃣ Geographic certainty All nodes in the Swiss Subnet are physically located in Switzerland (and Liechtenstein). This ensures data stays within a well-defined legal jurisdiction. 2️⃣ Built for compliance The subnet is designed to support use cases that require: > Strong data protection > Predictable regulation > Institutional and enterprise standards This makes it suitable for finance, public sector, healthcare, and enterprise workloads. 3️⃣ Native to ICP The Swiss Subnet isn’t a sidechain or workaround - it’s a first-class subnet on the Internet Computer, benefiting from: > On-chain smart contracts (canisters) > Chain-key cryptography > Web-speed performance 4️⃣ Digital sovereignty, by design It enables organizations to build decentralized applications while maintaining control over jurisdiction, infrastructure, and trust assumptions. The Swiss Subnet shows how ICP’s architecture can support geographically specialized blockchains, combining decentralization with real-world regulatory needs. That's massive.

DeFi is entering the integration era: clearer regulation, institutional rails, and stablecoins becoming a legitimate bridge into traditional finance. But there’s a hard truth: Most DeFi risk isn’t ideology — it’s infrastructure. Bridges. Wrappers. Custodial interoperability. Off-chain dependencies. That’s where the biggest attack surface lives. Now look at what’s happening: DFINITY on stage with Binance, Circle, Citi, Chainlink, and G20 stakeholders at #WorldComputerDay. That’s not hype. That’s the regulated world moving toward on-chain rails. And this is where #ICP becomes uniquely relevant: Chain Key enables interoperability without bridge-style custody — smart contracts can interact across chains in a natively verifiable way. If DeFi is going to plug into TradFi, it needs infrastructure that reduces systemic risk — not just moves it around. That’s the missing layer. ∞ $ICP #DeFi #ChainKey #WorldComputerDay #DigitalSovereignty #InternetComputer
Busy busy morning... Thank you to all our guests who joined us on stage from @binance, @circle, @Citi, @chainlinklabs, and G20 Group. #WorldComputerDay

The World Computer Takes Over Davos 🇨🇭 @dfinity just turned "World Computer Day" into the main event for Web3 infrastructure. Here is the full wrap of what just happened in Switzerland. 👇 🛜 The Bombshell: The "Swiss Subnet" is Live Dominic Williams officially unveiled the first National Sovereign Subnet. • What it is: A decentralized cloud built on 13 independent nodes—all physically located in Switzerland. • Why it matters: It solves the biggest hurdle for enterprise and government adoption: Data Sovereignty. • The Unlock: Banks, hospitals, and governments can now build unstoppable apps on ICP while guaranteeing their data never leaves Swiss jurisdiction. • Next Step: "Swiss Cloud Engines" are coming to let companies rent this infrastructure directly. 🧠 The "Age of Intelligence" & Self-Writing Cloud Dom Williams delivered a keynote on the "Age of Intelligence," dropping a massive prediction: • The Metric: Cloud revenue is on track to hit $2 Trillion by 2030. • The Prediction: A significant portion of that pie will be eaten by "Self-Writing Cloud"—AI-generated apps running on ICP, creating a deflationary burn loop. • The Quote: "AI and security will become inseparable - and cryptography is how security is delivered." — Dom Williams (Fireside Chat with AMD Silo AI). 🏦 The Institutional Heavyweights Entered the Chat The "Crypto Casino" was replaced by serious financial infrastructure. The "Adoption Unlocked" and "Capital Markets" panels featured heavy hitters discussing the future of digital money: • Citi: Ronit Ghose (Head of Future of Finance). • Circle: Kash Razzaghi (Chief Commercial Officer). • Binance: Raj Timothy Nandwani. • Chainlink Labs: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao. 🤖 The AI & Tech Titans It wasn't just finance; the "Decoding Intelligence" panel brought the world's top AI researchers to the ICP stage: • NVIDIA: Marc Stampfli (Business Director Switzerland) emphasized the shift toward open models: "We'll see the democratization of AI, with more and more open-source models.". • The Panel: Joined by Yariv Adan (Ellipsis Venture) and Prof. Dr. Anna Zeiter (W Social), the discussion focused on the "trifecta" fueling the AI boom: Talent, Tech Stacks, and Ethical Foundations. • The Researchers: Top minds from Google DeepMind (James Rubin), Stanford (Prof. Andreas Tolias), and AMD/Silo AI (Peter Sarlin) discussed the next leap in models and decentralized inference. 🛡️ Cyber Diplomacy & Global Security Moving beyond tech, the event tackled the geopolitical layer of the World Computer. • The Topic: "Cyber Diplomacy in an Era of Disruption" addressed how to build power and policy for a stable cyberspace. • The Experts: Chris Painter (The Cyber Policy Group) and Tracy Trachsler (DFINITY) discussed the intersection of technology and statecraft. Stay decentralized! ∞ #WorldComputerDay #Davos2026 $ICP
