⛰️ IOTA has reached a new milestone. After years of research and development, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the #IOTA 2.0 Public Testnet 🙌. Builders and token holders, join us in exploring the future of full decentralization🌐 https://t.co/M1tfKO1zIN
The news is finally out: #IOTA is the first licensed and regulated DLT Foundation in Abu Dhabi, UAE 🇦🇪
With a new headquarter in the UAE, we are positioning IOTA from being an Enterprise Blockchain in Europe, to becoming one of the largest, global Crypto ecosystems. We will fully support Web3 and DeFi use cases on IOTA with the #EVM launch in Q1.
We will double down on our efforts to bring the real world to Web3. We will pave the way to tokenize RWA assets on #IOTA and work with the governments in the UAE, across the Middle East and Africa to digitize their trade infrastructure and tokenize assets.
We will make Blockchain real, with real use cases, real adoption, real yield and real assets.
Together with an amazing and passionate team, strong new partners and an ecosystem that is growing, we will make IOTA a top #10 project again. We will not stop until we have realized our full potential.
A final comment on the UAE:
8 months ago I came here to this beautiful country with no expectations other than to learn what was happening in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi.
After spending time here and working closely with regulators, large enterprises, government officials and key individuals, I can confidently say that the UAE is the best home for innovative new technologies and digital ecosystems like IOTA. The leadership of the UAE has a strong vision of the future and they have the foresight, deep understanding and willingness to support innovative new technologies. Instead of being held back, innovation is enabled to thrive.
There is no country like the UAE, and I am proud to call it home now. I am incredibly grateful to have met some of the most amazing, supportive and open people. Without them this wouldn't have been possible and I'm forever grateful for their support and to be able to call them friends.
Here is to trillions or nothing
Inshallah
IOTA is the first #DLT Foundation regulated with @ADGlobalMarket in #AbuDhabi 🇦🇪! The new #IOTA Foundation will be seeded with over $100 million in $IOTA tokens to support and accelerate the growth of the IOTA ecosystem.

I’m incredibly excited and grateful to be on this journey with all of you. We are here to create one of the largest and most impactful technology ecosystems in the world.
We will not stop until we've realized our vision.
Hey, Twitter - I am finally back.
The last months have been pretty challenging as a few things happened in my private life that required my full attention.
To be able to continue to work on IOTA while sorting things out, I had to cut down on essentially everything that was not absolutely necessary and even then I often only got to work only late in the night.
I will continue to have less time for at least a few more weeks - months, but I hope that I will from now on be able to have time for Twitter again.
To answer some of the questions that were raised during my absence:
- Yes, I still work for IOTA and yes, I still believe that our protocol will be superior to competing technologies.
- I was initially a bit disappointed that we abandoned the MVP in favor of starting to port things to the new mainnet code base but looking at the progress we made in the last weeks, I have to admit that it was the right decision.
- The porting efforts are progressing really well! I will try to give a more detailed update in the coming days (without ETAs).
I think that should be it for now - I missed you guys! 🥰
