The WEF did not invite TWIN for a panel
@TWINGlobalOrg is the topic of the panel !
Excited to read more about the UN Asia Pacific Forum after the 10.06. About next steps for TWIN in Asia, about Siemens involvement and much more
Goods shipped from Poland to the UK.
Documents sent digitally to customs.
Cleared within hours, instead of two days.
A blockchain for cross-border trade.
Many crypto projects are still struggling to identify sustainable business models and long-term revenue generation beyond speculation and token rotation.
With initiatives such as ADAPT and TWIN, @iota is positioning itself directly within the digitization of global trade.
Through ADAPT alone, we are potentially onboarding 55 countries onto L1 over the coming years. If successful, this could evolve into one of the largest real-world blockchain adoption cases the industry has seen so far.
One recurring question I continue to see from the community is: when will we actually see activity onchain?
It is important to understand that government infrastructure projects and regulatory integrations operate on completely different timelines than typical crypto product launches. You cannot realistically expect mainnet activity immediately after a government agreement is signed.
These are multi-year transformations involving governments, enterprises, customs authorities, logistics providers, regulators and coordination between entire countries.
However, that is also exactly what makes this opportunity so significant. Once critical trade infrastructure and international coordination systems begin operating on top of a network, replacing or reversing them becomes difficult.
We are working on making progress more transparently visible over time and will continue to keep everyone updated as these initiatives advance.
"Africa isn't just catching up - it's leapfrogging, getting ahead of other countries."
@DomSchiener, Co-Founder of IOTA, on the opportunity ADAPT represents for Africa to build world-leading digital trade infrastructure.
$1.6 trillion flows through the global economy every year as trade-based money laundering.
63% of it through invoice manipulation.
The same document problem that slows legitimate trade is the one that enables fraud at scale.

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.
In an ideal world, a port can trust where the data comes from.
Not because someone said so.
Because the origin, the authenticity, and the integrity of the data can be proven on-chain.
"International trade is a teamwork. What IOTA brings is interoperability - one common way of sharing data so people can trust it and know who they're working with."
@JensLundNielsen, Head of Global Trade & Supply Chains, on what IOTA brings to ADAPT.
Really appreciate technical notes like this. 👏
Strong write-up for developers who want to better understand the evolution from Mysticeti to Starfish and the architectural thinking behind both approaches.
Tether’s Africa Expansion team publicly frames $USDt settlement on $IOTA infrastructure as central to AfCFTA trade digitization. Not an official partnership but when the rail and the liquidity find each other, that’s a signal worth tracking. 👀
$IOTA’s Morocco move is bigger than people think
🇲🇦Tanger Med port handled 11.1 million containers in 2025
Now ask yourself:
what sits behind every container?
Customs data, Certificates, Invoices, Trade finance...
That is why Morocco matters.
Tanger Med connects 180+ ports worldwide and sits at one of the most insane trade positions on the map
Africa below it.
Europe above it.
Atlantic and Mediterranean around it.
This is real leverage,
Because ADAPT is not trying to "move containers."
It is trying to make the trusted data around trade move better.
If documents, identities and payment rails become digital and verifiable,
you are suddenly touching the layer that every shipment depends on.
And Morocco gives that system serious volume to plug into.
➜ 1,200 companies
➜ 110,000 jobs
➜ $15B in exports
That is the part people miss.
IOTA’s opportunity is not just "Africa adoption."
It is being positioned around the infrastructure where global trade already happens.
We're not competing with national trade systems.
We're building the international highway between them.
A country like Vietnam or Singapore isn't going to trust data from a Korean national system by default.
IOTA changes that - because the trust is in the infrastructure, not just the relationship.
Most sustainability reports in global supply chains are self-reported.
The company at the end of the chain fills in a form.
Someone signs off.
It gets filed.
A checkbox, not a chain of custody.
