The Internet Computer’s Fourth Anniversary: A Year in Review and the Road Ahead

DFINITY celebrates four years of the Internet Computer (ICP) by spotlighting major milestones and outlining its ambitious future trajectory. Over the past year, ICP became the first blockchain to fully run AI models entirely on-chain, eliminating reliance on centralized cloud providers. It also launched Bitcoin and Ethereum integrations, offering native interoperability and multi-chain composability. Core infrastructure advances—like canister smart contracts, decentralized frontends, and AI-run dApps—demonstrate ICP’s unique position as a full-stack decentralized computing platform. Looking ahead, ICP will focus on enabling autonomous AI agents, expanding multi-chain services, and scaling real-world dApp adoption with true decentralization.
