👣 IOTA Audit Trails: because trust in business records shouldn't depend on who controls the database. Today we're launching a new open-source solution that lets any authorized party verify the full history of a workflow, without gatekeepers, intermediaries, or blind faith. 🧵⤵️

[IOTA @iota]

In Kenya, we connected to 34 different government systems.

Getting their data. Putting it on chain.
Making it verifiable. Making it shareable.

That's what real-world adoption looks like.

Before and after Starfish

Huge impact on reliability and robustness on the IOTA network. Especially during high throughput, Starfish consensus delivers predictable and reliable confirmation times. Exactly what businesses need.

Next up: Making it even faster (below 500ms) 🚀

Institutional access to @iota is now live. 🔓

We are excited to provide the secure, compliant infrastructure needed for $IOTA to scale in the US.

Clients can now hold and trade IOTA with the safety of BitGo’s qualified custody.

Today is a very special day.

What started in 2020 in Kenya with the challenging grunt work to connect all customs and ports systems to IOTA, is now entering the next phase.

Under the leadership of the African Continental Free Trade Area @AfCFTA , we are excited to partner with @InstituteGC and @wef on ADAPT, a public digital infrastructure to digitize trade all over Africa.

The mission is clear: A single public digital infrastructure to connect all of Africa. Digital trade. Identities. Payments. Trade finance.

The goal of the AfCFTA is to connect 55 countries by 2035, doubling intra-African trade by more than $70 Billion. Border & customs clearing will go from weeks to hours, cross-border payments will be reduced to less than 3% and exporters will get access to global trade finance liquidity. All of this will unlock new economic growth in excess of $24 Billion per year, creating job opportunities & prosperity across the entire continent.

The impact ADAPT will create for Africa is huge - and the work has already started. Kenya will go live in Q1. In 2026 we will connect Ghana and more countries. This will be a long and challenging road, but thanks to the commitment of the AfCFTA and the dedication of our partners I am convinced that we will realize this mission to connect Africa through the most modern digital trade infrastructure in the world.

We founded IOTA more than 10 years ago with the goal of creating impact in the real world. I can confidently say today - after many years of incredibly challenging work - with this announcement and this partnership with the AfCFTA, that we are making our big and bold ideas come true. We are changing the world. The impact and the solutions we are creating with IOTA are real.

I couldn't be more proud to be part of IOTA and to work alongside such amazingly talented and driven team at the Foundation, together with our strong partners and loyal community.

Let's bring the whole world onchain.

@coinbureau Tether is not crypto, it’s centralized dollars on a database. Sorry Howard Lutnick.

@dlt_green The APY column is misleading. It should report current APY and historical APY. Investors might shop the highest APY not realizing they are looking backward at past.

[ICO Drops @ICODrops]

The @iota Foundation is proposing to rebase IOTA’s Layer 1 to introduce a protocol with full decentralization, L1 programmability with MoveVM and EVM support, 50k+ TPS scalability, and $IOTA staking.

This upgrade offers a faster path to a new mainnet than current IOTA 2.0 plans.

[Dominik Schiener @DomSchiener]

As an OG L1 protocol started in 2015, #IOTA has always taken a unique, unconventional approach compared to others.

We invented the first DAG-based ledger, we worked with governments and enterprises, we operated as a regulated German non-profit foundation, we didn't play the usual crypto game, at our TGE we distributed 100% of the tokens to the community and we focused on core DLT R&D.

While we have had our fair share of controversies and drama, we have never stopped working on our mission with IOTA. Over the years we built up a large ecosystem, have worked on real world use cases and are now at a stage where many of these applications are ready to bring real tangible value, tokenized assets, users and use cases onchain to IOTA.

@TLIP_io in Kenya is just one case of many: https://t.co/xxVWLWqRtT

Since our inception, the market has significantly evolved from "decentralization at all cost" to "sufficient decentralization, but adoption through any means possible". This meant that we at IOTA had to adapt our strategy. First by integrating the EVM (https://t.co/sywotUNJsT) and building our own DeFi ecosystem, and now by upgrading the IOTA L1 with IOTA Rebased to introduce L1 smart contracts with the MoveVM.

The IOTA Rebased protocol takes the best protocols and concepts out in the market from Sui, Ethereum and Solana, merged with many of the concepts behind IOTA 2.0.

Time to market is everything. Instead of investing the next 2 years trying to get to a similar state as other L1s today, with IOTA Rebased we are able to leapfrog IOTA and become competitive now. Our 140+ person team can now invest resources into scaling the network, adding exciting new features and innovations, support builders and grow the ecosystem.

Key features of IOTA Rebased:
🚀Full decentralization with 150 validators
🚀Parallelized MoveVM and EVM support
🚀50k+ TPS with <500ms finality
🚀Very low transaction fees with fee burn mechanism
🚀10-15% $IOTA staking APY

We are launching IOTA Rebased today with significant changes in tokenomics and an entire roadmap of new innovations that we are going to introduce to the protocol to make it more scalable and useful for builders.

Now is the time to look at #IOTA again, because we are here to compete at the top again:
✅Leading team of 140+ with nearly a decade of market experience, battling through every major market change
✅Fair token allocation with 8 years of token distribution
✅No VC allocations
✅Growing DeFi ecosystem in the top #50, with all building blocks in place
✅Major real world adoption cases deploying onchain, with institutional support
✅Major upgrade with IOTA Rebased that will fundamentally transform IOTA

Ultimately all that matters to me right now is growing adoption and utility for $IOTA. I want to gain market share and make IOTA a leading L1. With IOTA Rebased, we are finally able to accelerate our adoption efforts and bring real applications, real value and real users onchain.

I'm here to leapfrog🐸🚀🌀

[IOTAPoet ✨ @IotaPoet]

What this means for #IOTA

💣Move VM with 100x better tokenomics than SUI. Community win
💣L1 smart contracts will allow IOTA to roll out its top tier industrial partners on to a top tier L1 chain
💣Staking rewards incoming for IOTA holders
💣Decentralisation. Coordicide delivered.
💣IOTA positioning itself as a major L1 in this space. L2 narrative ded (L2 bloat and stagnation, see ETH).
💣The only chain with EVM and MoVM compatibility in this entire space.

[Marc Lopresti @MarcLopresti]

Many countries are showing interest in the #TWIN project! 🌍 Demand is surging, hiring is ramping up, and 2025 is set to be action-packed. African trade is transforming with this logistics revolution. Are we ready for what’s coming in IOTA? 🚀 #TWIN #Innovation #IOTA #TLIP

[Salima @Salimasbegum]

IOTA 2.0 integrates both #MoveVM and EVM to strengthen its ecosystem: Move for innovative dApps and EVM for lower entry barriers. With unique projects like TWIN and on-chain exchanges, adoption is ramping up. Big price action news might be coming next week. 🚀 #IOTA #MoveVM
