- Writing plug-ins and editor packages to transform our developers’ favorite editors into a complete integrated development environment (IDE) for writing, debugging, and compiling DFINITY apps
- Collaborating on our public-facing API and writing (or code generating!) client libraries to handle secure messaging, error handling, and service discovery

Our take
A not-for-profit organization committed to carrying out scientific research, DFINITY offers a multitude of services, including supporting The Internet Computer, a blockchain-based web infrastructure designed to facilitate the creation of websites and hosting of servers, amongst other tasks. DFINITY defines itself as the first frictionless, limitless blockchain in the world.
DFINITY's team comprises cryptographers, operational experts and computing engineers looking to push the boundaries of existing blockchain solutions. It boasts an impressive number of scientific citations, demonstrating a continued commitment to advancing experimental technologies.

In turn, this generational shift in computing aims to take on Big Tech and return the internet back to its free and open roots.
