Dfinity says its development network can now "run across multiple data centers"

BlockBeats, decentralized cloud computing platform Dfinity Launched its developer test site in the early hours of July 1. DFINITY has opened its distributed technology stack, called the "Internet computer," to third-party developers. The test version of this website, code-named Tungsten, is the third among five development milestones announced with the previous project. The fifth milestone will be the "peak of the Whole Internet computer" and will be reached this year. The public beta network is likely to launch later this year. Rhythm learned that as part of the release, DFINITY said its development network can now "run across multiple data centers," having previously been able to run only through a single data center in January.

DFINITY also demonstrated its decentralised CanCan, which it claims is being billed as an alternative to TikTok. CanCan and previous demo products (such as LinkedIn's replacement LinkedUp) are designed to emphasize the greater efficiency that Internet computers offer compared to Web 2.0 technologies, according to Rhythm. DFINITY, for example, says it built CanCan using "less than 1,000 lines of code." By comparison, social media giant Facebook took 62 million lines of code to build, according to CoinDesk.

DFINITY The next main web release process is to roll out the network called Sodium, which will provide details on DFINITY's proposed management system and ICP tokens (formerly DFN) for the Internet computer. Rhythm knew that Sodium might be online around September.
