Unicorns! I see Unicorns everywhere. Call me biased, but the potential of the dapps and Metaverse projects building on the Internet Computer is too significant to ignore.
DFINITY General Updates

INSIDE DFINITY: People Parties and Proof of Human
Dominic Williams tweeted that the Virtual People Parties Process is being planned. People can anonymously participate and boost one neuron, and the boosted neuron will have additional voting power and receive rewards accordingly.
#InternetComputer surprise coming....
— Dominic Williams ∞ (@dominic_w) October 13, 2021
A vast, automated, fully decentralized and open "people party", may run globally in weeks.
Anonymously prove personhood:
- Get boosted rights in dapps
- Boost 1 neuron (++voting power & rewards)
and more...
🔥
Get ready. Details coming.
∞
The boosted neurons are eligible for privileges across the dapps on the Internet Computer, rewarding proof of human and thus extending decentralization.
The Chief Scientist also stated that people parties take just a few minutes to finish. Boosted neurons are later eligible to host a Badlands node when it releases. This, in addition to SNS, will increase decentralization.
