Great to be back in Dubai after a while, today meeting with Dr. Sohail, Chairman of the Pakistan Digital Authority re next phases of ICP cloud engine, Open SaaS + Open AI factories tech rollout, did some podcasts, and tomorrow will present a keynote at the Dubai AI Festival 🔥
Dr. @sohailmunir , Chairperson of the Pakistan Digital Authority (PDA), met with Dominic Williams (@dominic_w ), Founder and Chief Scientist of @dfinity , and @PierreSamaties , Chief Business Officer, for strategic discussions on establishing an AI Factory in Pakistan for developing production-grade software for the public sector, deployed on the PDA Cloud Engine.
The meeting involved detailed deliberations on developing a sovereign AI Factory focused on GovTech, government applications, and public-sector innovation, with the aim of strengthening Pakistan’s digital infrastructure and AI capabilities.
This marks the second high-level engagement between PDA and DFINITY this year, building on their earlier meeting, which culminated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The initial collaboration also laid the groundwork for a significant international milestone: UNDP’s adoption of Pakistan’s sovereign Cloud Engines model, reinforcing Pakistan’s emerging role in sovereign digital infrastructure and government-led technological innovation.

Great meeting Dr Sohail and the PDA today again in person 🤝
We discussed the next phase for Pakistan's Cloud Engines, a pilot of OpenSaaS and bringing DFINITY's AI Factory for developing production-grade government software to the PDA Cloud engine.
The future is bright!

🌊 One chain is a waterfall. Another is a single drop
Same week, same crypto, and a 290x gap in real transactions per second
This is what actual onchain traffic looks like when you can see it

JUST IN: OpenChat brings Discord and Telegram messages into its decentralized chat app
The $ICP-based platform now lets users link their accounts and relay messages directly into OpenChat, with messages appearing under their existing identities.

DFINITY vs NEAR: the receipts 🧾
An ex-NEAR engineer said "There is no patent, I looked." @thebasedgiant found two 👀
Also in this video:
- @Revolut was unusable
- the FBI's PHP warning
- @oisy Pay at SPAR
- @OpenChat TG/Discord integration

Some of the core capabilities Pakistan's master plan needed were already built into the Internet Computer's architecture, guardrails around data and protection included.
Which is why Dr. Sohail Munir says the infrastructure and the reference architecture were the easy part. The thinking went into governance, and that is what he wants to pass on to the governments that follow.

ICP’s OpenChat Makes Cross Platform Chatting Easier
Internet Computer (@dfinity) $ICP -based, OpenChat (@OpenChat), now lets Discord (@discord) and Telegram (@telegram) communities relay messages directly into its decentralized chat app.
The feature relays messages between those platforms and OpenChat. Users connect their accounts through a new “Linked accounts” section in their profiles.
After linking their accounts, messages appear in OpenChat under their own identities.
The update could make it easier for decentralized communities to reach people who still use mainstream chat apps.

$ICP News: OpenChat's bridge feature enables bidirectional message relay between Telegram, Discord, and the decentralized OpenChat platform built on the Internet Computer.
Users link accounts via bots using the /bridge command, with messages appearing as sent by them across platforms, connecting to Telegram's 1B+ users and Discord's 90M+ daily active users.
OpenChat operates as a fully on-chain, DAO-governed app with crypto-native features like in-chat token transfers, offering data sovereignty and censorship resistance unlike centralized alternatives.

INSIGHT: @dfinity has introduced a new integration that allows conversations from @Telegram and Discord to be bridged into OpenChat, a DAO-governed messaging platform built on the Internet Computer.
The feature connects OpenChat with Telegram’s massive user base of over 1 billion active users and Discord’s 90 million-plus daily users. Messages can flow in both directions, with each user’s linked account maintaining the connection across platforms.
This development could make cross-platform communication more seamless while expanding OpenChat’s reach within the Web3 messaging ecosystem.

🚨HUGE: Did you know $ICP is now in ChatGPT’s plugin directory?!
This could open @dfinity's $ICP powered apps to ChatGPT’s MASSIVE global user base!
Hundreds of millions could potentially access blockchain services directly through AI, without even knowing they’re using blockchain!

Cloud Engines are Internet Computer subnets that firms configure under ICP's on-chain governance.
Node providers keep 80% of their revenue. The other 20% buys and burns $ICP, per the Mission 70 whitepaper from @dfinity.
How the burn model works:
