"ADAPT has two advantages that early initiatives lacked - it's owned by neutral, impartial entities, and it has the full political backing of the AfCFTA behind it."
Tim Stekkinger, @wef, on why ADAPT will succeed where others have failed.
This is HUGE news.
PhD astronomer and former NASA engineer Ivo Busko has single-handedly driven a final nail into the coffin of the contamination-based hypotheses (e.g. plate defects and cosmic rays) proposed to explain the VASCO transients. He did so using one of the most creative approaches in astronomy I have ever seen: by analysing pre-Sputnik photographic plates from a German telescope known to suffer from severe optical distortions (aberrations), he demonstrated that the transients appear on these plates and exhibit the same optical distortions as the stars themselves. They are slightly narrower and sharper than the stars, consistent with brief flashes.
This is a crucial result. It shows that the transient light passed through the telescope optics, meaning the transients originate from real objects producing light, rather than from plate defects or cosmic-ray contamination that hit the plate. Dr Busko has also shown that the transients cluster spatially and are associated with periods close to nuclear tests. See the example of the triple transient with optical comas.
This is the greatest gift. Congratulations, Ivo.
I'm happy beyond belief.

@Bensam123TV@MinuteofZombie Say we in a hundred years time send advanced AI controlled ships to other solar systems. We might want to include some human DNA, and produce humans (either "real" or AI controlled avatars) to interact with other species etc
My followers keep asking me to dig into $IOTA. So I did. Again.
And it keeps getting stronger.
IOTA Rebased went live last year. Fully decentralized. 50,000+ TPS. Sub-second finality. The Coordinator is gone. This is a real Layer 1 now.
Starfish consensus is coming next. Built for even higher throughput and resilience under pressure. Enterprise-grade infrastructure.
But the adoption story is what got me. IOTA is a founding tech partner in ADAPT.
That's a continental initiative to digitalize African trade. Backed by the AfCFTA Secretariat, the Tony Blair Institute, and the World Economic Forum.
Three countries confirmed for mainnet deployment in 2026. Five more in pilot.
Kenya alone is projected to process 100,000 transactions a day on the ledger. Border clearance times already dropped from six hours to 30 minutes in pilot.
Zodia Custody is onboard for institutional access. BitGo providing US custody. LayerZero connecting IOTA to 150+ chains.
$IOTA isn't promising adoption. It's delivering it. At country level.
This is the kind of utility I've been talking about.

@jacob672245@TheProjectUnity@JustinPetersMin No, this is off for so many reasons. If you expect them to travel at the speed of light, that would make them max 50 light-years away (50 years for our signals, 50 to travel). Secondly, gasses from life in our atmosphere would make earth interesting millions of years ago.
@DomSchiener What about a new acronym? I still see lots of articles and people talking about internet of things when talking about IOTA, the vision has evolved and broadened.
I’m calling on all of you out there to help spread this event far and wide (pretty please)! This is the biggest grassroots effort in the history of my career. Please help spread this far and wide. Oh and check out @chrisramsay52 latest podcast:

GM $IOTA Fam,
after a day of sleeping i am more than happy to be not only back, but rested and ready for some 🔥content.
@iota is more alive than ever.
Tech is ready.
Adoption is ready.
Team is ready.
Only the community is lacking a little bit.
Get active!
Get loud!
🚀 #IOTA has just set a new milestone: Taiwan is now issuing official certificates on IOTA Rebased ✅.
These are official certificates of registration as Digital Service Organizations, validated by Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs. They open the door to subsidies, government projects, and full legal recognition in Taiwan. This is no small step: it marks IOTA’s entry into the digital strategy board of a sovereign state 🇹🇼.
The magnitude is enormous: a government is adopting IOTA as its trust infrastructure to accredit technological capabilities in strategic sectors. This means IOTA is no longer just about private innovation — it is becoming the technological backbone for governments and digital policy.
👉 Taiwan, the global hub of semiconductors and digital transformation in Asia, has chosen IOTA.
👉 A new standard of verifiable and transparent credentials at the institutional level is taking shape.
✨ And the most intriguing part… this is not the only case. There are many more hidden adoptions that haven’t surfaced yet. They are right in front of us, silent, waiting to be revealed.
And I think I’ve already seen some of them 🤫…
