A quick reminder that our promotion on @iota Stardust Staking validator fee is going to end on December 31, 2025. Starting January 1, 2026, we will raise the commission to 5% as promised. Thank you for staking with us this year and enjyoing highest network APY all this time.
2025 was mostly about building.
We spent the year shipping, testing, and staying close to real usage. A lot of that came through small experiments, especially with mini apps, where we could see how creators actually behave when tools are simple and close to where attention already is.
The most valuable progress came from feedback. Creators were direct about what slowed them down, what felt unnecessary, and what actually helped them earn. Those conversations shaped the product far more than any initial plan.
Working within the @base ecosystem gave us the rails to test instant payouts, ownership, and global access without pushing complexity onto users. The infrastructure stayed in the background, which is exactly where it should be.
Over time, the direction for @Lid_onchain became clearer. Not as a list of features, but as a focus, build consumer first tools that let creators publish, sell, and get paid directly.
It was about getting closer to the right questions.
🚨 A new milestone is coming to #IOTA next Monday…
One of the very first primordial tokens created on IOTA will have the honor of opening the first liquidity pool.
Tokens like stIOTA or VUSD are already here, but in recent months the first native tokens have been created on the network, designed for private ecosystems. And here’s the big news: for the first time, one of them will be traded with real market value, unlocking fresh opportunities for trading and yield.
❌ No more hints: on Monday I’m sure we’ll find out which token it is 👀 (and many of you already have it sitting in your wallets 😉… without giving it much importance).
🌱 A minor milestone… or the true seed of native trading on IOTA?
🚀 Step by step, the IOTA ecosystem is gaining unstoppable momentum.
❤️🔥
👀 Interesting protocol discussions happening between validators and the IOTA team, exploring ideas to further strengthen transparency, security, and reliability. Great to see the ecosystem collaborating at this level!
The rules of global trade are being rewritten. This isn't a test. This isn't a pilot.
It's the deployment of the new global infrastructure, and it's happening NOW.
The World Economic Forum and the Tony Blair Institute don't partner on regional projects; they partner to define GLOBAL standards.
Africa is just the first continent to adopt them. The rest of the world will watch, and then they will follow.
The question is no longer 'which technology will be used'. That question has been answered.
All other options are now obsolete:
Antiquated Legacy Systems: Discarded.
Antiquated Private Blockchains: Too small, they create more problems.
Antiquated Other L1s: Economically unviable at this scale.
The unfair advantage of #iota is simple:
it's the only technology that can handle this real-world data tsunami at near-zero cost, securely, and on a public, neutral network.
The first continent has already chosen.
The rest of the world faces a choice: adopt this new, open, and ultra-efficient network, or get left behind in a broken 20th-century system.
The race for digital competitiveness has begun.
Every container, every document, every product... a priceless stream of data secured on a single network.
This isn't just the adoption of a technology; it's the digitalization of the global economy.
And @iota is the foundation.

🌐 Global trade is hindered by fragmentation, inefficiency & lack of trust. IOTA - along with @wef, @InstituteGC, @TradeMarkAfrica & @GATFnews have come together to create @TWINGlobalOrg: a digital-first network tackling these barriers. Listen how through this interview⤵️
[ICYMI] We teamed up with @INATBA_org & @Cardano_CF to urge UK’s @TheFCA to rethink one-size-fits-all crypto rules. Innovation shouldn't be driven offshore – regulate to protect and empower.
